Cycles of Cell Cycle
This is the purpose of Mitosis and Cytokinesis.
What is cell division (making 2 cells)
Mitosis is used to form gametes (true or false)
What phase of the cell cycle prepares the cell for division?
Interphase
List the phases of cell division in order.
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
The division of the cytoplasm of the cell during cell division is referred to as_____________.
Cytokinesis
True or False: Cytokineses is included in the phases of mitosis.
False
In this phase DNA is replicated
At which phase do the chromosomes become visible in the cell?
Prophase
What is the end result of cytokinesis?
Two identical daughter cells
This phase is the longest phase of the cell cycle
What is interphase
How many phases make up mitosis (not including cytokineses) ?
4
List the three parts of interphase in order.
G1, S, G2
In which phase do the nuclear envelopes reform around the separated chromosomes?
Telophase
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.
This is when DNA is replicated during the cell cycle
What is the S-phase?
List the phases of mitosis in order.
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
At what phase in cell division do the spindle fibers pull the chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell?
Anaphase
The pinching apart of the cytoplasm in an animal cell creates a ___________.
Cleavage furrow
The three reasons cells complete Mitosis
What are: Replication (growth), Repair, Reproduction (asexual reproduction)
During interphase, DNA has replicated and appears as a loosely coiled mass known as ___________.
Chromatin
Spindle fibers attach to the centromeres and chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell during this phase of cell division.
Metaphase
In plant cells, a _______________ is built between the two daughter cells as they pull apart during cytokinesis.
Cell plate
