Cell cycle
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Interphase | 1.Start of the cell cycle 2.Cell Growth 3.Copies DNA 4.Longest phase 5.Chromosomes start to form |
| Prophase | 1. Nuclear membrane starts to break down 2. Chromosomes start to appear 3. Spindle fibers begin forming |
| Metaphase | 1. Chromosomes/Chromatides line up in the center of the cell (equator) 2. Spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes on the centromere |
| Anaphase | Sister chromatids pulled to the opposite sides of the cell |
| Telophase | 1. Nuclear membranes start to form around the chromosomes 2. End of mitosis 3.Cytoplasm is pinching into a cell form |
| Cytokinesis | 1.The cytoplasm splits, creating two identical daughter cells 2. Prepare for interphase |
| What is the end result of Mitosis? | 2 identical daughter cells that originated from on parent cell |
| Meiosis | Sexual reproduction of sex cell that involve sperm and egg to create a zygote |
| What are the differences between Mitosis and Meiosis? | Mitosis is the asexual reproduction that starts with on parent cell and has a end product of 2 identical daughter cells. Meiosis is the sexual reproduction between sperm and egg cells that has a end product of 4 non-identical daughter cells |
| Gametes | Gametes are sex cells or sperm and egg |
