Function of Cell Division
Cell Cycle
Mitosis
Asexual Reproduction
100
The chemical code that contains all the information for a cell's growth, maintenance, and reproduction.
What is DNA?
100
Through cell division, a single cell becomes this.
What are two cells? (2 daughter cells)
100
The cell spends most of its life in this phase.
What is interphase?
100
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell during this phase.
What is metaphase?
100
The offspring produced by asexual reproduction are identical to this.
What is the parent?
200
Before mitosis, DNA compacts into these structures.
What are chromosomes?
200
This process allows organisms to grow larger.
What is cell division?
200
The part of the cell cycle when the nucleus divides.
What is mitosis?
200
DNA condenses and nuclear membrane disappears during this phase.
What is prophase?
200
This term is used to describe an organism that can regrow damaged or missing body parts.
What is regeneration?
300
A chromosome is composed of two of these.
What are chromatids?
300
During development, cells become ______________ to perform particular functions.
What is specialized?
300
The last part of the cell cycle when the cytoplasm divides.
What is cytokinesis?
300
New nuclear membranes form and the chromosomes begin to unwind in this phase.
What is telophase?
300
This term is used to describe an organism that grows another organism somewhere on its body that eventually pinches off and becomes independent.
What is budding?
400
DNA wraps itself around this molecule when it condenses.
What is protein?
400
These are examples of cell specialization.
What is a blood cell, skin cell, or heart cell?
400
DNA is copied during this phase.
What is interphase?
400
The chromatids split and move to opposite sides of the cell during this phase.
What is anaphase?
400
This form of asexual reproduction occurs in prokaryotes.
What is binary fission?
500
In a eukaryote, the genetic material is inside this.
What is the nucleus?
500
Cell division is needed for these 3 functions.
What is growth, development, and repair?
500
This type of cell does not undergo mitosis.
What is a prokaryote?
500
This happens immediately after mitosis.
What is cytokinesis?
500
This is why you become sick so quickly.
What is rapid reproduction of bacteria?
