A hypothetical idea that living organisms are formed from non-living organisms.
What is Spontaneous Generation?
These are the 5 phases of mitosis.
What are Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase?
Single-cell organisms that lack nucleus or membrane bound organelles.
What are Prokaryote?
Type of cell division that prokaryotic organisms undergo.
What is Binary Fission?
Name this organelle.
What is Cell Membrane?
First person to observe cells by looking at a slice of cork under a single lens microscope.
Who was Robert Hooke?
Known as the first phase of mitosis, it is when the chromosomes condense, become more visible, and the nuclear membrane disintegrates.
What is Prophase?
Type of cell found in mammals.
What is Animal Cell?
Type of cell division that happen in reproductive cells, like sperms and eggs.
What is Meiosis?
The organelle below is responsible for energy production in the cell.
What is the mitochondrion?
It states that all living organisms are composed of one or more cells, cell is the basic unit of life and all cells come from pre-existing cells.
What is Cell Theory?
During this phase, the chromosomes line up at the center (middle) of the cell.
What is Metaphase?
Single or multi-cell organisms whose cells have nucleus and membrane bound organelles.
What are Eukaryotes?
Number of chromosomes in a diploid human cell.
What is 46 chromosomes?
This is the portion of the cell that divides during cytokinesis.
What is the cytoplasm?
Person who observed living cells and called them "animalcules".
Who was Anton van Leeuwenhoek?
During this phase, the spindle fibers begin to "reel in" each sister chromatid to opposite poles of the cell.
What is Anaphase?
Name the type of cell that makes up this organism.
What is Prokaryotic Cell?
Type of cell division for the purpose of growth and increase in number of cells.
What is Mitosis?
In plant cells, this structure is formed to indicate cytokinesis has occurred.
What is a Cell Plate?
Two scientists who confirmed Cell Theory almost 150 years after Hooke discovered the cells.
Who were Schleiden and Schwann?
During this phase, the nuclear membrane begins to form around the new sets of chromatin (uncoiled chromosomes).
What is Telophase?
Name the type of Eukaryotic cell.
What is Animal Cell?
These are the steps of binary fission.
What are: DNA replication, Chromosome segregation and Separation?
In animal cells, the cytoplasm __________ until it separates to form two identical daughter cells.
What is pinches inwards or invaginates?
