How is cell cycle divided

interphase and mitosis

100

How many phases make up mitosis? Name them

4

PMAT

100

List the three parts of interphase in order.

G1, S, G2

100

What is the name of the structures that attach to chromosomes

spindle fibers

100

Cytokinesis happens 

after telophase

200
What is the longest phase in the cell cycle?
Interphase
200
True or False: Cytokinesis is included in the phases of mitosis.
False
200

During which part of interphase, DNA is replicated 

S phase

200
At which phase do the chromosomes become visible in the cell?
Prophase
200

How many chromosomes there are in body cells

46

300
The cell cycle results in two genetically _________ cells.
Identical
300
True or False: Interphase is not included in the phases of mitosis.
True
300

Is the nuclear membrane still intact during interphase?

Are chromosomes visible?

Yes, NO

300
In which phase do the nuclear envelopes reform around the separated chromosomes?
Telophase
300
True or False: Cytokinesis is the division of the cell nucleus.
False. Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm. Mitosis is the division of the nucleus.
400
The cell cycle state where the cell grows to its full size, copies the DNA and organelles and prepares to divide is called the ________________.
Interphase
400

Which cells replicate with mitosis

body cells

400

WHat is happening during G1 and G2 

growth and preparation

400
At what phase in cell division do the spindle fibers pull the chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell?
Anaphase
400

Predict how interphase length changes in different types of cells

complex cells have longer interphase

500
What is the importance of the cell cycle to multicellular organisms with respect to tissue repair?
The cell cycle replaces damaged, worn, and aging cells
500

If DNA is not correctly copied what happens

mutation

500

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.

500
Spindle fibers attach to the centromeres and chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell during this phase of cell division.
Metaphase
500
