10-2 Cell Division

QuestionAnswer
What are the two main stages of cell division in eukaryotes? Mitosis and Cytokinesis
In eukaryotic cells, how is genetic information passed on from generation to generation? Chromosomes carry DNA so cell's know how to perform.
True or False: The amount of chromosomes that are in an organism determine how complex it is. False, the number of chromosomes has nothing to do with how complex an organism is, but is based on the type of species.
How many chromosomes do humans have? 46 chromosomes
What is the "in-between" period of growth when a cell is not dividing? Interphase
What does the S phase stand for in interphase? It is the period of activity where chromosomes are replicated and the synthesis of DNA molecules take place.
True or False: Metaphase is the first and longest phase of mitosis. False, Prophase is the first and longest phase of mitosis.
If mitosis is the division of the cell nucleus, how is the final split of the cell completed? Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm. It physically splits the rest of the cell, making what was once one cell into two cells.
Name the four phases of mitosis. Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Explain why cells can't just simply divide. Cells must first copy genetic info. before the split. This gives each daughter cell a complete copy of DNA.
What is a spindle? What is it's job? A spindle is a fanlike microtubule structure that helps separate the chromosomes.
True or False: Centrioles are located in only plants. True
Describe why chromosomes look like an "x." Strands of DNA and protein molecules bind together, forming what appears to be an "x" structure.
Name three main jobs of the cell cycle. During this cycle, cells grow, prepare for division, and divide to form two daughter cells.
Prophase takes how much total time required to complete mitosis? Up to 50 to 60 percent.
