QUIZ - Mitosis/CCycl
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Mitosis | division of body cells from one parent cell into 2 genetically identical daughter cells |
| IPMAT-C | the order of the stages of the cell cycle |
| Chromosome | rod shaped structure that forms when a single DNA molecule and its associated proteins coil tightly before cell division |
| genes | segment of DNA that carries info from the parent to the offspring |
| Chromatid | one of a pair of strands of DNA that make up a chromosome |
| centromere | chromatids are joined in the center by this- is made of protein. |
| Interphase | this phase is what the cell spends most of its life in |
| What is the main event that happens in Interphase? | DNA is copied, at end you have a chromosome with 2 chromatids |
| PROPHASE - what are 4 things that happen in this phase? | 1.)chrom. begin to condense 2.) nuclear envelope starts to disappear 3.)centrioles start to move to opposite sides of the cell 4.) spindle fibers start to form |
| polar bodies | another name for centrioles |
| microtubules | what spindle fibers are made of |
| Plants do not have these to help with mitosis | Centrioles |
| METAPHASE - what 2 things happen in this phase? | 1.) chromosomes keep condensing 2.) chromosomes line up on the "equator" of the cell |
| kinetochore | more microtubules extend out of the centromere at this place - hold the chroms in place |
| ANAPHASE - what 2 things happen in this phase? | 1.) centromere divides and the 2 chromatids separate 2.) the new chroms. move to opposite sides as the spindle fibers shorten |
| TELOPHASE - what 3 things happen in this phase? | 1.) chroms uncoil at either end of cell 2.)spindle fibers break down and disappear 3.)new nuclear envelope forms |
| Cytokinesis | cell is cleaved in half |
| What is the result of Mitosis? | 2 genetically identical cells |
| Golgi bodies | what plants use to complete cytokinesis by making a cell plate |
