What occurrence within the cell does the cell cycle represent?
Cell division
What is uncontrolled division of cell?
mutation
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
What is the longest phase in the cell cycle?
Interphase
True or False: Cytokinesis is included in the phases of mitosis.
False
During interphase, DNA has replicated and appears as a loosely coiled mass known as ___________.
Chromatin
At which phase do the chromosomes can be seen under a microscope or become visible in the cell?
Prophase
The cell cycle results in two genetically _________ cells.
Identical
A cell that can divide an unlimited number of times.
Is the nuclear membrane still intact during interphase?
Yes
In which phase do the nuclear envelopes reform around the separated chromosomes?
Telophase
The cell cycle state where the cell grows to its full size, copies the DNA and organelles and prepares to divide is called interphase. Name the phases in this stage?
G1, S, G2
What type of reproduction is occurring during mitosis?
Asexual
During interphase, DNA is replicated. What DNA stands for?
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
At what phase in cell division do the spindle fibers pull the chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell?
Anaphase
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
The introduction of new adult stem cells into damaged tissue to treat disease or injury
Stem Cell Therapy
In which part of interphase does chromosome duplicates?
Synthesis or S phase
Spindle fibers attach to the centromeres and chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell during this phase of cell division.
Metaphase
