Question
Answer
What are the three main stages of the cell cycle?   Interface, mitosis, Cytokinesis  
🗑
interphase   FIRST stage of cell cycle, period between two mitotic divisions during which the cell grows ,takes place before cell division occurs, cell copies its DNA.  
🗑
During what phase of cell cycle are organelles and enzymes produced?   early interface  
🗑
What is replication?   the process by which the cell makes a copy of its DNA in the nucleus before cell division  
🗑
What holds all the information the cell needs to carry out its functions?   DNA  
🗑
What is the thread like structure within the cell nucleus that contains DNA that is passed on from one generation to the next   Chromosome  
🗑
The end of replication, the cell contains ____ sets of chromosomes?   two identical  
🗑
In animal cells only (not plant cells), this structure is duplicated   centrioles  
🗑
What are centrioles   found only in animal cells, they are cylindrical cell structures that helps the cell divide  
🗑
mitosis   stage TWO of cell cycle, during which the cell’s nucleus divides into 2 new nuclei; one set of DNA is distributed into each daughter cell  
🗑
Cytokinesis   completes the process of cell division, final stage of cell cycle. cell cytoplasm divides and organelles distributed into daughter cells.  
🗑
What is difference between cytokinesis in animal and plant cell?   In animals, cell membrane squeezes together & organelles+cytoplasm divide in 1/2. Plants have a rigid wall, a cell plate forms in middle. the cell plate begins to form new cell membranes around daughter cells. Lastly cell walls form around cell membranes.  
🗑
What is the process of cell division that forms two new nuclei, each of which has the same number of chromosomes   mitosis  
🗑
Name the four parts of mitosis in order   prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase (PMAT)  
🗑
Explain prophase   1st stage of mitosis; characterized by the condensing of the chromosomes + movement of centrioles to opposite sides of the cell + nuclear envelope breaks down+ spindle fibers form a bridge between the ends of the cell  
🗑
what stage of mitosis do spindle fibers form a bridge between the ends of the cell?   prophase  
🗑
what stage of mitosis does nuclear envelope break down?   prophase  
🗑
what stage of mitosis do centrioles move to opposite sides of cells?   prophase  
🗑
what stage of mitosis do chromosomes condense?   prophase  
🗑
Metaphase   second stage of mitosis during which each chromosome attaches to a spindle fiber at its centromere, and all of the chromosomes move to the cell's equator  
🗑
what stage of mitosis do attached to spindle fibers at centromere?   metaphase  
🗑
what stage of mitosis do chromosomes lineup at the cell’s equator?   metaphase  
🗑
anaphase   3rd stage of mitosis; centromere splits and pulls chromatids apart (now called chromosomes since they separated). Chromosomes then drawn by spindle fibers to opposite ends of cell. Sell stretches out.  
🗑
what stage of mitosis do chromatids separate?   Anaphase  
🗑
what stage of mitosis does centromere split?   anaphase (recall centromere holds chromatids together)  
🗑
what stage of mitosis do chromosomes get drawn buy spindle fibers to opposite ends of cell?   anaphase  
🗑
what stage of mitosis does so stretch out?   anaphase  
🗑
telophase   the final stage of mitosis, during which a nuclear membrane forms around each set of new chromosomes  
🗑
what stage of mitosis does nuclear membrane forms around each new cell with Its new chromosomes   telophase  
🗑
T/F cytokinesis begins during mitosis   TRUE; Into daughter cells  
🗑
Chromatid   one of the two rod like parts of a chromosome, an EXACT copy of the other containing identical DNA  
🗑
Centromere   structure that holds chromatids together until they move apart later in mitosis  
🗑
When chromatids separate, they are called __________   chromosomes  
🗑


   

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.
