How is cell cycle divided
interphase and mitosis
How many phases make up mitosis? Name them
4
PMAT
List the three parts of interphase in order.
G1, S, G2
What is the name of the structures that attach to chromosomes
spindle fibers
Cytokinesis happens
after telophase
During which part of interphase, DNA is replicated
S phase
How many chromosomes there are in body cells
46
Is the nuclear membrane still intact during interphase?
Are chromosomes visible?
Yes, NO
Which cells replicate with mitosis
body cells
WHat is happening during G1 and G2
growth and preparation
Predict how interphase length changes in different types of cells
complex cells have longer interphase
If DNA is not correctly copied what happens
mutation
If a cell skips interphase and goes straight into mitosis, what problems could arise?
DNA would not be replicated, organelles would be insufficient, and daughter cells would be nonviable.
How can defects in spindle formation lead to down syndrome
uneven division of chromosomes
