When do cells copy their DNA?
Synthesis in interphase
During what process does the cytoplasm and its contents divide into two identical daughter cells?
During cytokinesis
Chromosomes meet in the middle on spindle fibers
Metaphase
What holds identical pairs of chromosomes together during the metaphase?
Centromere
Homeostasis is
An organism's ability to self regulate and keep balance
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
If a person looking thorough a microscope sees a cell with something looking like a cell wall with only a black dot in the middle, what part of the cell cycle are they seeing?
Interphase
When do spindle fibers appear?
Late Prophase/Early Metaphase
Spindle fibers form a bridge and the nuclear membrane disappears
Prophase
Cell pops in half with identical organelles and DNA, and then the whole process starts over again
Cytokinesis
What disappears during prophase?
Somatic cells in your body are made through which process?
Mitosis
Chromosomes separate at centromeres and move along spindle fibers to the ends of the cell
Anaphase
Nuclear membranes return around DNA
Telophase
Identify the two cylindrical organelles during Interphase
centrioles
The organ most involved with blood glucose regulation
Pancreas
