Mitosis

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   Division of the cell nucleus and its contents  
🗑
Prophase   DNA and proteins condense into tightly coiled chromosomes. The nuclear envelope breaks down and centrioles begin to move to opposite poles. ("Prepare")  
🗑
Metaphase   Spindle fibers attach to each chromosome. They align the chromosomes along the middle of the cell. ("Middle")  
🗑
Anaphase   Chromatids separate to opposide sides of the cell. ("Apart")  
🗑
Telephase   Nuclear membranes start to form, chromosomes begin to uncoil, and the spindle fibers fall apart.  
🗑
Chromosomes   Divides the cell cytoplasm  
🗑
Chromatid   One half of a duplicated chromosome  
🗑
Sister chromatids   Two identical chromatids held together by a centromere  
🗑
Centromere   Sister chromatids are held together here  
🗑
Spindle Fibers   Help align the chromosomes at the middle of the cell  
🗑
Centrioles   Help divide DNA during cell division by producing spindle fibers that attach to the DNA and pull it to one side of the cell.  
🗑
Diploid (2n)   cell that has two copies of each chromosome, one from an egg and one from a sperm.  
🗑
Identical Cells   Cells produced from cell division that are genetically identical to the parent cell.  
🗑
Homologous Chromosomes   Chromosomes that have the same length, appearance, and copies of genes, although the alleles may differ  
🗑
Original Chromosome Number Restored   After a cell duplicates its DNA during S phase, the cell will divide resulting in the original chromosome number.  
🗑
Cytokinesis   The division of the cell cytoplasm  
🗑


   

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.
