Cell Cycle
2nd stage of Cell Cycle
100
These are the basic unit of structure and function of all living things.
What are Cells?
100
These are the tiny structures in every cell.
What are Organelles?
100
This contains the genetic material found in every cell. It is shaped like a twisted ladder and is found in the nucleus of the cell.
What is DNA?
100
In the cell cycle, cells multiply by _______________.
What is Dividing?
100
This is the 2nd stage of the Cell Cycle where the nucleus divides in two and it has 4 phases or steps.
What is Mitosis?
200
All cells come from _____________________.
What is other cells?
200
This is the control center or the "brain" of the cell
What is the Nucleus?
200
Humans have around 20,000 _________________ with each one carrying a code controlling traits.
What are Genes?
200
There are _______ main stages of the cell cycle.
What is 3?
200
This is the first phase of Mitosis where the nuclear membrane breaks down and DNA coils into chromosomes.
What is Prophase?
300
The invention of this instrument made it possible to study cells.
What is the microscope?
300
This is the "powerhouse" and provides the cell with energy.
What is Mitochondria?
300
This is the name for characteristics that can be passed on to your children.
What are Traits?
300
This is the number of times a cell divides every second in adults.
What is 25 million?
300
This is the second phase of Mitosis where the chromosomes line up down the middle.
What is Metaphase?
400
He was one of the first people to view cells through his compound microscope.
Who is Robert Hooke?
400
This is the jelly-like substance that holds the organelles in cells.
What is Cytoplasm?
400
These are structures in the nucleus that contain DNA, and are in the shape of an X.
What are Chromosomes?
400
This is the first stage of the Cell Cycle where the cell grows and matures, and the organelles and DNA duplicate.
What is Interphase?
400
This the 3rd phase of Mitosis where the chromosomes split and move to opposite sides of the cell.
What is Anaphase?
500
All cells are ____________________ in size.
What is Microscopic.
500
This is the cell stores food, liquid, and other materials. In the plant cell, this contains much more liquid and is usually larger.
What is the Vacuole?
500
This is the number of chromosomes found in human body cells.
What is 46?
500
This is the third stage of the cell cycle where the cell membrane pinches inward and 2 cells are formed.
What is Cytokinesis?
500
This is the fourth phase of Mitosis where the chromosomes uncoil and two nuclear membranes appear.
