Mitosis Vocab
Parts and phases of mitosis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What phase does a cell spend the great majority of its time in? | interphase |
| What phase has the chromatin condense into chromatids. | prophase |
| When do the chromosomes start to get pulled to opposite sides of the cell? | anaphase |
| When do spindle fibers begin to form? | prophase |
| When is DNA replicated? | interphase |
| When the nuclear envelope is reformed and the cell is splitting into two seperate cells. | cytokinesis |
| This is the phase where all the chromatids (sister chromatids) line up in the middle of the cell. | metaphase |
| Section that connects the two chromosomes when they are together as chromatids (sister chromatids)? | centromere |
| During this phase the nuclear envelope is destroyed. | prophase |
| During what phase does the nuclear envelope begin to reform. | telophase |
| These organelles produce the spindle fibers and use them to pull the chromatids apart. | centrioles |
| The 'X' shaped double chromosomes. | Sister Chromatids |
| Long attachments that are produced by the centrioles and eventually attach and pull on the chromatids at the centromere. | spindle fibers |
| When the chromosomes are all elongated and unrecognizable during the majority of the cell's life cycle. | Chromatin |
| two chromosomes, one from each parent that have the same information on them. | homologous Chromosome pairs |
| When homologous chromosomes wrap around each other getting ready to exchange like genes. | crossover |
| When the homologous chromosomes exchange like genes in Prophase I of Meiosis. | Homologous Recombination |
| Cells that contain half the normal DNA of a regular cell. | Haploid |
| Cells that contain a full set of DNA for that organism. | Diploid |
