Cell Division

Cell Cycle

QuestionAnswer
Interphase, mitosis and cytokinesis all make up one cell cycle
Name the four stages of mitosis Prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase
A cell spends most of its time in which stage? Interphase
What happens during interphase? Cell grows, protein synthesis, the cell does its job. When its ready to divide the DNA replicates (copies).
What happens during prophase? Chromosomes become visible, nuclear membrane disappears
What happens during metaphase? Chromosomes line up in the middle. Spindle fibers attach to chromosomes.
Name the organelles that move to the outer edges of the cell to help with cell division. Centrioles
What is the purpose of the spindle fibers? To attach to the chromosomes, line them up and pull them apart.
What happens during anaphase? Chromosomes are pulled away from each other.
What happens during telophase? Cell membrane begins to pinch, Nuclear membranes form around separated chromosomes.
What happens during cytokinesis? Cells completely separate into two new daughter cells.
What does a human cell produce during one cell cycle of MITOSIS? Two daughter cells that are completely like each other with 46 chromosomes each -just like parent cell.
After mitosis, the number of chromosomes in a daughter cell is The same as the number of chromosomes in a parent cell (diploid number)
When does the the CELL CYCLE end? After cytokinesis is complete
When does MITOSIS end? After telophase is complete
How do multicellular organisms grow? Cells continue to divide by mitosis making MORE cells
In what phase do the chromosomes line up in the middle? Metaphase
In what phase do the chromosomes pull away from each other? Anaphase
In what phase do the cells completely split? Cytokinesis
The phase where the cell is not actively dividing is Interphase
In what phase is the DNA in thread-like form (chromatin)? Interphase
When cells division gets out of control this may result Cancer
As you become an adult, what happens to cell division? They continue to divide - just at a slower rate.
What does a cell do in Interphase to prepare for cell division (mitosis or meiosis)? Doubles its DNA
What is the goal of mitosis? To grow, repair, heal and replace dead cells

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
