Just A Phase
This phase occurs when sister chromatids are pulled apart.
What is anaphase?
This is the strands of DNA comprised of proteins.
What is chromatin?
A normal human cell contains this many chromosomes.
What is 46?
This is the structure formed when cells pinch apart during telophase/cytokinesis.
What is a cleavage furrow?
This is the first portion of interphase in the cell cycle when cells are performing normal functions.
What is the First Gap or G1 phase?
This is the longest phase of the cell cycle.
What is interphase?
This is when strands of DNA are closely packed together.
What is a chromatid?
A human egg cell contains this many chromosomes.
What is 23?
This is the structure that forms from a centriole and bonds to a centromere.
What is a spindle fiber?
This is when DNA is duplicated.
What is the Synthesis or S phase?
This phase is identified by spindle fibers aligning chromosomes at the center of the cell.
What is metaphase?
This is another name for sister chromatids.
What is chromosome?
If a cell with 20 chromosomes undergoes mitosis, the resulting daughter cells will have this many chromosomes.
What is 20?
This is what occurs when cell division is unregulated.
What is cancer?
This is the last portion of interphase when the cell continues to grow.
What is the Second Gap or G2 phase?
During this phase, the nuclear membrane begins to break apart.
What is prophase?
This is the organelle that spindle fibers form from.
What is centriole?
If a cell with 10 chromosomes undergoes meiosis, the resulting cells will contain this many chromosomes.
What is 5?
An extra 21st chromosome results in this condition.
What is Down Syndrome?
This is the portion of the cell cycle where cell division occurs.
What is the M phase or mitosis?
This phase is often included with cytokinesis.
What is telophase?
This is what the spindle fibers attach to during metaphase.
What is a centromere?
This is what sperm cells, egg cells, or other gametes are considered.
Haploid.
When two sister chromatids swap portions of DNA, it is called this.
What is crossing over?
This is a cell's opportunity to stop cell division if it detects an issue.
What is a checkpoint?
