The Five Phases
What is Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, & Telophase?
The chromosomes move away from one another to opposite poles of the spindle.
What is Anaphase?
Prophase (Mitosis)
Why does the nuclear membrane breaks down and the nucleolus within the nucleus dissolves?
Shortest Stage of Mitosis
What is Anaphase?
Definition of Meiosis
What is the process of cell division in species that engage in sexual reproduction?
Definition of Mitosis.
What is the process of cell division where the nucleus divides?
Telophase (Mitosis)
Why does the nuclear membrane reforms around the chromosomes, the chromosomes unravel and become diffuse, and the spindle fibers disappear?
Metaphase (Mitosis)
Why does the chromosomes align in the middle of the cell?
Telophase I
Why does each half of the cell has a haploid set of chromosomes and each chromosome still consists of two sister chromatids?
Phases of Meiosis
What is Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I, Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II?
Type of Cells that Undergo Mitosis
What are Eukaryotic Cells?
G1 Phase
What is the first growth period of the cell cycle, during interphase, in which the cell prepares to divide.
Prophase II
Why does the spindle apparatus forms?
Anaphase (Mitosis)
Why does the centromeres divide, and the sister chromatids of each chromosome are pulled apart and move to the opposite ends of the cell?
Types of Cells that Undergo Meiosis.
What are Eukaryotic Cells?
The amount of time the entire process of Mitosis takes.
What is 20-24 hours?
Anaphase II
What is the sister chromatid pairs begin to move towards the poles as new chrsomosomes?
Metaphase I (Meiosis)
Why does sister chromatids align at the equator of the cell?
S Phase
What is DNA synthesis and replication occur?
Produce these from Diploid Cells.
What are Haploid cells/Gametes?
Main Function.
What is cellular reproduction and general growth and repair of the body?
Longest stage of Mitosis
What is Interphase?
Cytokinesis
What is the division of cytoplasm?
Total number of phases in Mitosis.
What is 5 phases?
Person that discovered meiosis.
Who is Oscar Hertwig?
The German biologist, discovered and covered a meiosis in sea urchin eggs in 1876 as an initiator.
