The Cell Cycle
Name one of the main purposes of the cell cycle.
Creating new cells or repairing damaged cells.
In this phase of mitosis chromosome pairs are lined up at the equatorial plate.
What is metaphase?
These type of cells do not follow the normal requirements for cell division.
What are cancer cells?
This tern refers to cell division in eukaryotic cells.
What is mitosis?
These type of cells have linear chromosome pairs.
What are eukaryotic cells?
This stage of interphase prepares for DNA synthesis & replication.
What is the Growth 1 (G1) stage?
In this phase of mitosis, chromosome paits are moving away from eachother.
What is anaphase?
This type of cancer cannot be surgically removed: metastatic or localized.
What is metastatic cancer?
This term refers to cell division in prokaryotic cells.
What is binary fission?
These type of cells have one circular chromomsome.
What are prokaryotic cells?
This stage of interphase ensures that copies of DNA are available for each daughter cell.
What is the Synthesis (S) stage?
In this phase of mitosis the nuclear envelope begins to break up and disappear.
What is prophase?
True or False. Cancer caused by mutations in somatic cells (such as skin cells) is inheritiable.
What is false?
These are formed through the cell division of one parent cell.
What are two identical daughter cells?
In euakryotic cells, chromatin is condensed, wound, and packaged into these structures.
What are chromosomes?
A cell spends most of it's time in this phase of the cell cycle.
What is interphase?
In this phase of mitosis, the nuclear membrane begins to reform and the cell begins to split into 2.
What is telophase?
This man first observed mitosis under a microscope.
Who was Fleming?
In which of the following could you observe mitosis: plants, animals, bacteria?
What are plants & animals?
The number of chromosomes each daughter cell has after mitosis occurs in a parent cell with 8 chromosomes.
What is 8?
List all the stages of interphase, IN ORDER.
What is G1, S, and G2?
The stages of mitosis, IN ORDER.
What are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase?
Identify the stage of mitosis pictured.
What is metaphase?
In which of the following could you observe binary fission: fern, dog, bacillus subtilis bacteria.
What is bacillus subtilis bacteria?
The number of chromosome pairs a human somatic cell contains.
What is 23 pairs?
