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
chromosomes   thread-like structures made of protein and DNA that contain the instructions for building, maintaining, and operating a cell  
🗑
cell cycle   repeating series of stages a dividing cell goes through  
🗑
mitosis   a process of division of the genetic material (chromosomes) of a eukaryotic cell in which each of the two resulting nuclei receives a complete set of chromosomes that is the same as in the parent cell  
🗑
cytokinesis   the stage of the cell cycle in which the membrane-enclosed cytoplasm of the cell divides to form two cells  
🗑
daughter cell   During mitosis, the genetic material inside the nucleus divides. Each daughter cell must have an exact copy of exactly the same genetic material as the parent cell.  
🗑
DNA synthesis   copies DNA during the 'S' phase of the cell cycle  
🗑
meiosis   a type of cell division in which the resulting cells have half the chromosome number of the parent  
🗑
chromatids   the place where two sister chromatids join in a chromosome before it divides during mitosis or meiosis  
🗑
'sister' chromatids   the first phase of mitosis, in which the chromosomes coil and become more compac  
🗑
spindle   all the spindle fibers considered together  
🗑
metaphase   the second phase of mitosis, in which the chromosomes arrange in a plane at the middle of the cell  
🗑
anaphase   the second phase of mitosis, in which the chromosomes arrange in a plane at the middle of the cell  
🗑
telophase   the fourth and final stage of mitosis, in which the chromosomes reach two sides of a cell and are incorporated into two new nuclei  
🗑


   

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.
