Name That Phase
90% of a cell's life is spent in this phase.
What is interphase?
The growth and division of a cell; consists of interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis.
What is the cell cycle?
The first stage in mitosis (after interphase).
What is prophase?
The fourth stage of mitosis where cell plate starts to form in plants.
What is telophase?
The entire process after Interphase where cell division occurs and in which one cell divides creating two daughter cells with identical DNA.
What is mitosis?
In this stage, chromosomes first start to condense and become visible.
What is prophase?
A threadlike structure that holds an organism's DNA.
What is a chromosome?
The second stage of mitosis after prophase.
What is metaphase?
The third stage of mitosis where chromatids pull apart.
What is anaphase?
The formation of two daughter cells from a single parent cell.
What is cell division (Mitosis)?
The phase where chromosomes align in the center of the cell.
What is metaphase?
The division of cytoplasm for the two new cells.
What is cytokinesis?
A webbing of fibers that guides the chromosomes to where they need to be.
What is the spindle fiber (microtubules)?
Found around chromosomes inside the nucleus, reforms during telophase.
What is the nuclear envelope?
The double-helix shaped molecule which contains complete directions for cell division.
What is DNA?
The phase in which a complete set of chromosomes pull apart assemble at each pole of the cell.
What is anaphase?
The point on a chromosome where two sister chromatids attach.
What is the centromere?
In metaphase, this object disappears completely from around the former nucleus.
What is the nuclear envelope?
The name of the two copies of a single chromosome.
What are sister chromatids?
The number of chromosomes humans have.
What is 46?
The stage in which the nuclear envelope begins to reform and cleavage forms.
What is telophase?
The uncontrolled growth of cells.
What is cancer?
These microtubule organizers align at the poles during metaphase.
What are centrioles?
The ends of the cell, where chromosomes are pulled to.
What are the poles?
The protein that attaches sister chromatids.
