To initiate the process of cell division, what is the DNA now known as?
(Hint: The DNA becomes spread out/coiled)
Chromatin
What organelle disintegrates in this phase?
NUCLEUS
Does Metaphase occur in the same way in plant and animal cells?
Yes
During this phase, the "tug of war" from the Metaphase is initiated, where will both sides end up after Anaphase?
Opposite poles of the cell
What phase of Mitosis is Telophase, and does it occur before or after Cytokinesis?
Final and Before
What is the main purpose of the Interphase period of mitosis?
replicate the DNA in preparation for cell division
When two chromatids are bonded together via a centromere what is now formed?
A chromosome
During this phase, what are the chromosomes attaching to, and where?
Attached to spindle fibers in the center of the cell
What structures are depicted in Anaphase?
(Hint: 2 things)
1. chromosomes
2. spindle fibers
What is formed after the sister chromatids disperse to opposite poles of the cell ?
Two Nuclei
The Interphase period has 3 stages known as G1, S, and G2. If G1 is purposed to grow the cell via the production of proteins and G2 is purposed to continue the cell growth, what is the S Phase's main focus and product?
(Hint: product connects via a centromere)
DNA Replication and Sister Chromatids
What do the centrioles in this phase begin to develop that will later be used to separate the sister chromatids later?
Spindle fibers
In Metaphase the cell's chromosomes align themselves in preparation for a "tug of war", what phase will commence this "war"?
Anaphase
Anaphase is present in both mitosis and meiosis, which -osis contains two stages of anaphase?
MEIOSIS
What can you begin to see form in the Telophase stage?
Two cells
At the G1 Checkpoint what 3 boxes must be checked off before moving on to the S phase?
1. Cellular Necessity
2. Cellular Health
3. Enough Resources
Centrioles + Spindle Fibers
Centrosome
What stage of Mitosis is this?
Second
What does anaphase prep the cell for?
Division
What fluid is split to form two daughter cells in Cytokinesis?
Cytoplasm
If DNA is incorrect in the cell after the G2 Checkpoint and proteins are unable to fix it what occurs?
APOPTOSIS â˜
What stage of Mitosis is Prophase?
First
Does this image properly display Metaphase?
If not what does it represent?
CYTOKINESIS
What is it called when chromosomes fail to separate properly during this phase?
Nondisjunction
What is formed in Animal cytokinesis that's different from Plants? What is it called in plants?
A cleavage furrow and a cell plate
