Ch 10, section 1 - Cell Division (mitosis)

        Help!  

Question
Answer
the process by which cells increase in number (one cell splits into two)   cell division  
🗑
stage of growth in the cell cycle, also the stage at which DNA and organelles duplicate   interphase  
🗑
series of major events in a cells life - growth, division, growth, division...   cell cycle  
🗑
the process of dividing the nucleus of a cell into two genetically identical nuclei   mitosis  
🗑
division of the rest of the cell besides the nucleus, final part of cell division (but happens during anaphase and telophase)   cytokinesis  
🗑
stage of mitosis in which chromosomes form, nuclear envelope breaks down and spindle starts to form   prophase  
🗑
stage of mitosis in which chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell, which spindle attached from centromeres to centrioles   metaphase  
🗑
stage of mitosis in which duplicated chromosomes split at the centromeres and spindle shortens, pulling them to opposites sides of the cell   anaphase  
🗑
stage of mitosis in which chromosomes uncoil, nuclear envelopes reform, and spindle breaks down   telophase  
🗑
A densely packed rod or X shaped body composed of DNA that can be seen in a nucleus during mitosis   chromosome  
🗑
What four stages make up mitosis?   prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase  
🗑
Loosely packed mass of DNA in the nucleus of a cell during interphase   chromatin  
🗑
hereditary material making up chromosomes; a long twisted molecule   DNA  
🗑
pair of tubular structures that anchor the spindle in animal cells during mitosis   centrioles  
🗑
protein tubes that assist movement of chromosomes during mitosis   spindle fibers  
🗑
What are the two main phases in cell division?   mitosis then cytokinesis  
🗑
A structures that forms during cytokinesis in plant cells to divide the cell in two; the cell wall forms from it   cell plate  
🗑
what does duplicate mean?   to double  
🗑
Why do cells divide?   make more cells for growth, make more cells for healing or regeneration, to make more cells that we need (blood, skin, immune, etc), and for asexual reproduction  
🗑


   

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.
