Cell Division

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Mitosis   cell division resulting in two identical, diploid, daughter cells for growth and repair  
🗑
Meiosis   cell division resulting in four haploid cells containing half of the chromosomes the parent cell had, production of gametes (sex cells)  
🗑
Interphase   NOT PART OF MITOSIS, stage where cells grow before DNA is duplicated and prepares for division (contains G1*growth, Synthesis*replication, and G2*getting ready for division)  
🗑
Prophase   stage where DNA starts to condense, microtubules assembled and bring centrioles to opposite sides of the cell, nuclear envelope starts to break up  
🗑
Metaphase   stage where chromosomes line up at the middle of the cell  
🗑
Anaphase   stage where sister chromatids break apart and start to move to opposite spindle poles  
🗑
Telophase   stage where chromosomes decondense and nuclear membrane starts to reform  
🗑
Interphase   stage where two daughter cells have formed, each diploid  
🗑
Cytokinesis   process that pinches the cells apart, cytoplasm is NOT EVENLY SPLIT  
🗑
Haploid   having a single set of unpaired chromosomes  
🗑
Diploid   containing two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent  
🗑
Crossing Over   in Meiosis, the exchange of genes between homologous chromosomes, resulting in a mixture of parental characteristics in offspring after tetrads are formed  
🗑
Binary Fission   division of prokaryotic cells, cells that possess a single chromosome which is replicated and the cell is divided  
🗑
Prophase 1   stage where tetrads form and synapse (crossing over)  
🗑
Metaphase 1   stage where tetrads split  
🗑
Anaphase 1   stage where chromosomes move to opposite ends  
🗑
Telophase 1   stage where there are two haploid cells  
🗑
Telophase 2   stage where there are four haploid cells  
🗑


   

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.
