Question
Answer
Mitosis   cell process in which the nucleus divides to form two nuclei identical to each other, and identical to the original nucleus, in a series of steps (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase).  
🗑
Meiosis   Reproductive process that produces four haploid sex cells from one diploid cell and ensures offspring will have the same number of chromosomes as the parent organism  
🗑
Interphase   The resting phase between successive mitotic divisions of a cell, or between the first and second divisions of meiosis.  
🗑
prophase   The first stage of cell division, before metaphase, during which the chromosomes become visible as paired chromatids and the nuclear...  
🗑
anaphase   The stage of meiotic or mitotic cell division in which the chromosomes move away from one another to opposite poles of the spindle  
🗑
Telophase   The final phase of cell division, between anaphase and interphase, in which the chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of the..  
🗑
sister chromatids   Sister chromatids are 2 identical copies of a chromatin connected by a centromere. Compare sister chromatids to homologous chromosomes,...  
🗑
centromere   The point on a chromosome by which it is attached to a spindle fiber during cell division.  
🗑
spindle fiber   In cell biology, the spindle fibers is the structure that separates the chromosomes into the daughter cells during cell division. It is...  
🗑
centriole   A minute cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of spindle fibers in...  
🗑
metaphase   The second stage of cell division during which the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
