| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the cell cycle made up of? | Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis |
| What's interphase? | *Cell grows to mature size. *Makes copy of DNA |
| What's Mitosis? | Mitosis (cell division) has 4 phases |
| What's prophase? | The chromatin in the nucleus condenses together to form chromosomes |
| What's metaphase? | Chromosomes line up across the center of the cell |
| What's Anaphase? | Chromatids separate and move to opposite ends of cell |
| What's Telophase? | New nuclear membrane forms around each group of chromosomes |
| What's Cytokinesis? | *Cell pinches in 2 *Each daughter cell ends up with the same # of identical chromosomes |

| What's Meiosis? | sexual reproduction (egg and sperm cells) |

| Asexual reproduction? | doesn't need a partner to reproduce. (by itself) |
| sexual reproduction? | needs both parents to reproduce (sperm and egg) |
