Cycles of Cell Cycle
This stage of the cell cycle is when the cell's nucleus divides into 2 nuclei.
What is Prophase?
This is the number of phases of mitosis.
What is 4?
During this phase of the cell cycle replication occurs.
What is Interphase?
List the 6 phases of cell division (cell cycle) in order.
What is Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis?
Cytokinesis is the last stage of this.
What is cell division or the cell cycle?
In this phase, cytokinesis begins.
What is telophase?
True or False: Cytokinesis is included in the phases of mitosis.
What is False?
During interphase, DNA has replicated and appears as a loosely coiled mass known as ___________.
What is chromatin?
During this phase the chromosomes become visible in the cell.
What is Prophase?
This is the end result of cytokinesis.
What are two identical daughter cells?
The cell cycle results in two genetically _________ daughter cells.
What is identical?
True or False: Interphase is not included in the phases of mitosis.
What is True?
True or False: The nuclear membrane still intact during interphase.
What is TRUE?
In this phase, the nuclear envelope (membrane) reform around the separated chromosomes.
What is Telophase?
True or False: Cytokinesis is the division of the cell nucleus.
What is False?
Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm. Prophase is the division of the nucleus.
In this cell cycle phase, the cell grows to its full size, copies the DNA and organelles and prepares to divide is called ________________.
What is Interphase?
During replication, this is copied.
What is DNA?
During interphase, the cell _____, _________, and eventually ________ its DNA.
What is grows, matures, and copies?
During this phase in cell division, the spindle fibers pull the chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell.
What is Anaphase?
The pinching apart of the cytoplasm in an animal cell creates a ___________.
What is the cleavage furrow or cleavage?
These are protein fibers that divide the genetic material between two cells when cells are dividing.
What are spindle fibers?
List the 4 phases of mitosis in order.
What is Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase?
Interphase is the _____________ phase in the cell cycle.
What is the longest?
Spindle fibers attach to the centromeres and chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell during this phase of cell division.
What is Metaphase?
These are rods of condensed chromatin that carry genes.
What are chromosomes?
