What am I called?
The Stages
Mitosis
Misc.
100
I am the two identical strands of DNA
Sister Chromatids
100
I am the 3 stages of Interphase
G1, S, G2
100
What are the phases of mitosis?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
100
What would happen if cells could not divide?
We would not have enough cells and we would die.
200
I am DNA that has been coiled up
Chromosomes
200
I take up the majority of time in the cell cycle
Interphase
200
What happens in metaphase?
The chromosomes line up in the middle
200
Approximately how long does one cell cycle take?
24 hours
300
I am the poles that move to the opposite ends of the cell
Centrosomes
300
I am when the centrosomes begin to form.
Prophase
300
In what phase are the two identical strands of DNA no longer connected?
Anaphase
300
How many chromosomes are in a human cell?
46 chromosomes
400
I pull the DNA apart from each other.
Spindle Fibers
400
Why is cytokinesis important?
It allows the cell to actually become two new cells
400
Approximately how much the cell cycle is spent in mitosis?
1 hour, or about 4%
400
What is the difference between telophase and cytokinesis?
Telophase is when the nuclei divide, and cytokinesis is when the cytoplasm divides.
500
I hold the two identical strands of DNA together
Centromeres
500
I am the stage when DNA replicates itself (be specific!)
S stage in Interphase
500
What happens in telophase?
The DNA is separated into two separate nuclei
500
What are the 4 purposes of cell division?
Reproduce, repair, replace, growth
