Cell cycle
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the cell cycle? | When cells go through a series of events as they grow and divide |
| What happens during prophase? | The duplicated chromosomes condense into thick visible strands |
| What happens during metaphase? | The central measures of the duplicated chromosomes lineup across the center of the cell |
| What happens during anaphase? | The chromosome separate and move spindle fibers to opposite ends of the cell |
| What happens during telophase? | The chromosomes began to coil again into a tangle of chromatin |
| What happens during cytokinesis? | Cytoplasm divides forming two separate cells from one |
| Describe how a eukaryotic cells chromosomes change as the cell prepares to divide | As a cell prepares to divide the DNA in each chromosome is replicated so that each chromosome is doubled |
| What is the relationship between interphase and cell division? | Interphase occurs before cell division. It is the period when cells are growing and preparing for cell division. |
| Sister chromatids are attached to each other at an area called | Centromere |
| If a cell has 12 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will each of its daughter cells have after mitosis and cytokinesis | 12 chromosomes |
| And plant cells, what forms midway between the divided nuclei during cytokinesis? | Cell plate |
| What are phases of the cell cycle? | Telephase, metaphase, interphase, anaphase and prophase |
| The sister chromatids are moving apart | Anaphase |
| The nuclear membrane fades from view | Prophase |
| A new nuclear membrane is forming around the chromosomes | Telophase |
| The cytoplasm of the cell is being divided | Telophase |
| The chromatin is found in the nucleus | Interphase |
| The chromosomes are located in the middle of the cell | Metaphase |
| The spindles disappear | Telophase |
| Animal cells began to split in half at the cleavage furrow | Telophase |
| The spindle fibers are formed | Prophase |
| Chromatids lineup along with the center of the cell | Metaphase |
| Chromosomes are not visible | Interphase |
| Cytokinesis begins | Telophase |
| The cell plate in plants begins to form | Telophase |
