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
Prophase   - long strands of DNA condense to distinct chromosomes, each with two chromatids that are exact copes of each other - the nuclear membrane disappears  
🗑
Telophase   new nuclear membranes form  
🗑
Metaphase   chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell  
🗑
Anaphase   - chromatids of each chromosome split into two separate chromosomes - separated chromosomes pull to the opposite ends of the cell  
🗑
Cytokinesis   - cell pinches and divides - is the division of the parent cell's cytoplasm  
🗑
animal cell   the cell membrane pinches; membrane forms around each cell  
🗑
plant cell   a cell plate forms where the cell wall will divide the two cells  
🗑
DNA   a chemical that contains information for an organism's growth and functions  
🗑
Chromosomes   compacted DNA  
🗑
Cetromere   holds together chromatids  
🗑
Chromatids   a duplicated chromosome consists of two  
🗑
cell cycle   the normal sequence of development and division of a cell  
🗑
Interphase   the part of the cell cycle during which a cell is not dividing  
🗑
Mitosis   the part of the cell cycle during which the nucleus divides  
🗑
Asexual Reproduction   - one organism produces one or more new organisms that are identical to itself and that live independently of it - one parent organism, rate of reproduction is rapid, offspring identical to parent  
🗑
Binary Fission   occurs when the parent organism splits in two, producing two completely independent daughter cells  
🗑
budding   a process in which an organism develops tiny buds on its body  
🗑
regeneration   the process of new tissue growth at sites of a lost limb  
🗑
Sexual Reproduction   two parent organisms, rate of reproduction is slower than rate for asexual reproduction, offspring have genetic information from two parents  
🗑
a plant cutting is   genetically identical  
🗑
a new plant from seed is   genetically similar  
🗑
a cell produces two genetically identical daughter cells when it   undergoes mitosis  
🗑
most multi cellular organisms grow and develop because their cells   continue to divide  
🗑
Which of the following correctly sequences the steps in the cell cycle?   interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis  
🗑
cells prepare for cell division during   interphase by duplicating their DNA  
🗑
After mitosis, the number of chromosomes in a daughter cell is   the same as the number in the parent cell  
🗑
Asexual reproduction in most organisms involves   mitosis by one parent  
🗑
A leaf breaks off a plant. Someone puts the stem of the leaf into water. Roots eventually grow from the stem. This is an example of   rengeneration  
🗑
characteristic of asexual reproduction   it can result in large numbers of offspring  
🗑
as you become an adult, the cells in your body   keep dividing  
🗑
How do cells share genetic material?   they divide  
🗑
- the cell cycle beings with - A cell grows and carries out life functions in   interphase  
🗑
How does a cell prepare for mitosis?   it makes exact copies of its DNA  
🗑
A cell grows and carries out life functions in   a cell plate grows between the two new nuclei  
🗑
The offspring produced by asexual reproduction   are genetically identical to their parents  
🗑
The cell cycle ends with   cytokinesis  
🗑
What are the smallest units able to perform the basic activities of life?   cell  
🗑
New cells form as the result of   a division of existing cells  
🗑
All of the cells in your hand have   one complete copy of DNA  
🗑
all cells come from   cells  
🗑
DNA must be duplicated before mitosis so that   each daughter cell gets a complete copy of DNA  
🗑
the steps of mitosis   prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase  
🗑
During interphase,   the DNA in chromatin is duplicated  
🗑
When a cell prepares to divide, its genetic information condenses from a mass of loose strands into tightly wound structures called   Chromosomes  
🗑
An organism that produces other organisms is called   a parent  
🗑
organisms produced through mitosis   are exact copies of the parent  
🗑


   

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.
