Miscellaneous
What are the phases of mitosis in order?
PMAT (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase)
What is cancer?
Growth of abnormal cells
What’s a chromosome made of?
DNA
During metaphase, where are the chromosomes located?
In the middle of the cell
What phase lasts the longest?
Interphase
What kind of reproduction is mitosis?
Asexual
What is a tumor?
Cluster/growth of abnormal cells
What is the middle of the chromosome called?
Centromere
What reforms during telophase?
Nuclear envelope
How many phases are in Interphase?
3
Why is cell division important?
So that cells can grow, repair, and reproduce
What’s the difference between normal cells and cancer cells?
Cancer cells are diseased and divide uncontrollably
How many chromatids are in a chromosome?
2
What breaks down during telophase?
Spindle fibers
What are the three phases of Interphase
G1, S, G2
Why is interphase the longest?
So that cells have time to grow and prepare for proper division
What do you call a cancerous tumor?
Malignant
How many chromosomes do people have?
46
Telophase is immediately followed by what?
Cytokinesis
What happens during S phase of Interphase?
Cell synthesizes and chromosomes are copied
When does the nuclear envelope dissolve?
Metaphase
What do you call non-cancerous tumors?
Benign
What kind of macromolecule is chromatin?
Nucleic Acid
What are the spindle fibers connected to?
Centromere
Why is it important for DNA replication to happen prior to Cytokinesis?
So that each cell has the same DNA and functions properly
