Question
Answer
what are the two stages of cell division.   mitosis and cytokinesis  
🗑
what is the function of the mitotic spindle.   help separate the chromatids  
🗑
what is the cell cycle.   the series of events that the cell goes through to grow and divide  
🗑
what are the four phases of mitosis   1.prophase 2.metaphase 3.anaphase 4.telophase  
🗑
what happens during prophase   the chromosomes become visible the centrioles take up positions on opposite sides of the nucleus  
🗑
what happens during metaphase   the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell  
🗑
what happens during anaphase   the chromosomes move until they form two groups near the poles of the spindle  
🗑
what happens during telophase   a nuclear envelope re forms around each cluster of chromosomes the nucleolus becomes visible in each daughter nucleus  
🗑
what is cytokinesis   the division of the cytoplasm of the cell following the division of the nucleus  
🗑
how does cytokineses occur in most animal cells   the cell forms a cleavage furrow that tightens and splits the cell  
🗑
in eukaryotic cells what are the two main stages of cell division   division of the cells nucleus 2. division of the cells cytoplasm  
🗑
when chromosomes become visible at the begining of cell division what does each chromosome consist of   two identical sister chromatids  
🗑
the division of the cells nucleus during the m phase of the cell cycle is called   mitosis  
🗑
interphase is divided into what three phases   1.g1 phase 2. s phase 3. g2 phase  
🗑
what happens during the g1 phase   increase in-size creates new proteins and organelles  
🗑
what happens during the s phase   chromosomes are replicated  
🗑
what happens during the g2 phase   organelles and molecules required for cell division are produced  
🗑
which cells undergo cell division   both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells  
🗑
what is the correct order of the cell cycle in an eukaryotic cell   g1-s-g2-m  
🗑
the correct order of a prokaryotic cell division is   growth-DNA replication-chromosome segregtion  
🗑
what happens during mitosis   the nucleus of the cell divides  
🗑
chromatid   Either of the two strands joined together by a single centromere  
🗑
centromere   the center of the chromosome where the two chromatids touch  
🗑
chromatin   the readily stainable substance of a cell nucleus consisting of DNA and RNA and various proteins  
🗑
chromosomes   stands of DNA stuffed in 2 chromatids that make an x shape  
🗑
interphase   the period of the cell cycle where the nucleus is not undergoing division  
🗑
cyclin   one of a family of closely related protiens that regulate the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells  
🗑
cancer   an uncontrolled growth of cells with the potential to spread and form colonies elsewhere in the body.  
🗑
growth factor   a substance that affects the growth of a cell  
🗑
tumor   a mass amount of cells that divide abnormally quickly and fail to carry out their usual function  
🗑
embryo   the earliest stage of a developing unborn individual in the uterus  
🗑
stem cell   a cell in the body that can divide to give rise to more cells.  
🗑
differentiation   a process which a less specialized cell becomes more specialized  
🗑
cell division   the division of a cell into two identical daughter cells with the same generic information  
🗑
asexual reproduction   a form of reproduction that doesn't involve miosis  
🗑
sexual reproduction   a form of reproduction involving the mating of a male and female sperm  
🗑
the rate at which materials enter and leave the cell depends on the cells?   surface area  
🗑
in order for a cell to divide successfully the cell must first   duplicate its genetic information  
🗑
if a cell has 12 chromosomes how many chromosomes will each of its daughter cells have after mitosis and cytokenisis   6  
🗑
in the plant cell what forms midway between the divided nuclei during cytokinesis   cell plate  
🗑
the timing in the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells is believed to be controlled by a group of closely related proteins known as   cyclins  
🗑


   

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.
