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   division of the nucleus  
🗑
cytokinesis   division of the cytoplasm  
🗑
chromatid   one of two identical "sister" parts of a duplicated chromosome  
🗑
centromere   area where the chromatids of a chromosome are attached  
🗑
interphase   period of the cell cycle between cell divisions; when the cell is preparing to divide  
🗑
cell cycle   series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide  
🗑
prophase   first and longest phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate and take up positions on the opposite sides of the nucleus  
🗑
centriole   paired organelle found near the nucleus that is involved in the development of spindle fibers during cell division  
🗑
metaphase   second phase of cell division, during which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell  
🗑
anaphase   the third phase of mitosis, during which the chromosome pairs separate and move toward opposite poles  
🗑
telophase   fourth and final phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes begin to disperse into a tangle of dense material  
🗑
cyclin   proteins that regulate the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells  
🗑
cancer   disorder in which some of the body's own cells lose the ability to control growth  
🗑
chromatin   granular material visible within the nucleus; consists of DNA tightly coiled around proteins  
🗑
chromosome   threadlike structure within the nucleus containing the genetic information that is passed from one generation of cells to the next  
🗑


   

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.
