Cell Cycle 1
When do cells replicate their DNA?
S phase
When are chromosomes pulled apart toward the opposite side of the cell?
Anaphase
What does PMAT stand for?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
What type of reproduction allows a species to reproduce by itself?
Asexual Reproduction
Chromosomes meet in the middle on spindle fibers
Metaphase
During G1 of Interphase, what is the cell doing?
Cell Growth
What are the two main parts of the cell cycle?
What part of the cell cycle is the nucleus divided?
Mitosis
What is one reason that cells go through the process of mitosis?
To replace old cells, for growth or for repair
During the mitotic phase, what is the order of the phases
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
Give an example how our body uses mitosis.
Healing cuts, growing, nails and hair
Prophase 1
During what phase does the copied DNA condense into chromosomes?
Prophase
During cytokinesis, two separate cells are formed when microfilaments in the cytoplasm form a contracting belt around the center of the cell that pinches into two. This describes the following...
Cleavage Furrow
In what phase do the cytoplasm and organelles split into two cells?
Cytokinesis
Unregulated cell division leads to what disease?
Cancer
In which phase are two nuclei present?
Telophase
If a Species has 40 chromosomes, how many are in a haploid cell of the same species?
20
During the S phase of interphase, what is the cell doing?
coping DNA
What is cell death called?
Apoptosis
What disappears during prophase?
The nucleus / nuclear membrane / envelope
What is the purpose of the cell cycle in wounds?
Cell and tissue repair
What is the purpose of checkpoints?
Check the cell or DNA for mistakes
Nuclear membranes return around DNA
Telophase
