Stage Fright (Mitosis)!
These are the stages of mitosis (in order).
What are Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase?
It is a repeating series of events that describes the full life of a cell.
What is the cell cycle?
This is the longest phase of the cell cycle.
What is interphase?
A protein that triggers the checkpoints in the cell cycle.
What is cyclin?
This is the longest stage of Mitosis.
What is Prophase?
Cells that don't divide go into this phase.
What is G0?
An enzyme that prepares the cell for mitosis.
What is CDK?
True or False: All Cells go through mitosis
FALSE
During this phase, two new nuclei form.
What is Telophase?
FALSE
This is what a cell looks for when it is exhibiting anchorage dependency.
What is a surface to grow on?
The process in which prokaryotes (bacteria) reproduce.
What is binary fission?
This is the end result of Mitosis
What are two identical nuclei?
These are located near the nucleus to help organize cell division.
What are centrioles?
These are locations on the cell cycle where the cell determines if it's safe to proceed.
What are checkpoints
This is when a cell exits the cell cycle because there are too many other cells of its kind.
What is density dependent inhibition?
Phase where DNA synthesis (replication) occurs; at the beginning, each chromosome is single and at the end there are two sister chromatids.
What is S phase?
In this phase chromosomes split in the middle and the sister chromatids are pulled to the opposite poles of the cell.
What is Anaphase?
This is the uncontrolled division of cells.
What is cancer?
The structures in the cell that help separate the chromosomes by connecting the centrioles to the centromeres.
What are the mitotic spindle fibers?
