Mrs. L's Cell Cycle
Parts of the cell cycle
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Structure of DNA formed when chromatin is reorganized in preparation for cell division. | Chromosome |
| The sequence of growth and division of a cell. | Cell Cycle |
| Organelles in the cell that help during chromatid separaton. They are located just outside of the nucleus. | Centrioles |
| Phase of mitosis where chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of the cell. | Anaphase |
| Growth period of the cell cycle where a cell spends a majority of its lifetime. | Interphase |
| These fibers help separate sister chromatids during mitosis. | Spindle |
| Period of the cell cycle where cell division occurs. Two daughter cells are formed from one original cell. | Mitosis |
| Process where cytoplasm divides. | Cytokinesis |
| Phase of mitosis where chromatids reach the opposite ends of the cell and two new cells are formed. | Telophase |
| Long strands of DNA; how chromosomes exist during most of the cell's lifetime. | Chromatin |
| Structures that hold together sister chromatids. | Centromere |
| Phase of mitosis where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. | Metaphase |
| Phase of mitosis where chromatin turns into visible chromosomes and the nucleus begins to disapear. | Prophase |
| The two halves of a duplicated chromosome. | Sister Chromatids |
| Cell division for growth, repair and development. | Mitosis |
| Cell division for the formation of gametes. | Meiosis |
| Occurs in the body cells. | Mitosis |
| Occurs only in the sex cells/gametes. | Meiosis |
| Egg, sperm or pollen | Gametes |
| A cell that contains the whole number of chromosomes. | Diploid |
| A cell that contains half the number of chromosomes. | Haploid |
| At the end, cells are genetically the same. | Mitosis |
| At the end, cells are genetically different. | Meiosis |
| Begins as a diploid cell, ends as a diploid cell. | Mitosis |
| Begins as a diploid cell, ends as a haploid cell. | Meiosis |
| Produces two new cells. | Mitosis |
| Produces four new cells. | Meiosis |
