Mitosis
Mitosis science test
| questions/ trems | answers/definitions |
|---|---|
| where dose mitosis take place | in human body (somatic) cells |
| mitosis | chromosomes multiply and divide when the cell reproduces producing daughter cells that are identical to parent cell |
| chromatin | uncoiled strands of DNA |
| chromosomes | coiled chromatin; contains genes |
| homologous pairs | chromosome pairs that are structurally similar and contain information for some genes; (can different expression of information on those genes) |
| mitosis occurs in human body (somatic) cells | these are every cell but the egg or sperm |
| How many cells dose somatic (body) cells have | 46 cells |
| how many homologous chromosome pairs are there | 23 pairs |
| diploid cells | contain all homologous pairs of chromosomes |
| Interphase | chromosomes (in form of chromatin) and organelles replicate |
| Mitosis | chromosomes divide |
| Prophase | chromatin coils into chromosomes (hint: each chromosomes now is made up of 2 chromatids joined by a centromere) |
| prophase | nuclear membrane disappears |
| Metaphase | chromosomes move to the center of the cell (the equator) |
| Anaphase | chromosomes divide and chromatids separate (pulled apart) |
| anaphase | chromatides are pulled to opposite sides pulled by spindle fibers |
| telophase | centroles and spindle fibers disappear |
| telophase | chromaatids unwind back into chromatin |
| telophase | neclear membrane reforms |
| cytokinesis | cytoplasm starts to divide into new cells and parent cells divide |
| cytokinesis | there are now 2 daughter cells that have DNA identical to the parent cell |
