MITOSIS 1
T/F: mitosis happens in body cells
true
Longest phase of cell division
interphase
Connects the chromosomes to the centromeres at the sides of the cell
What is spindle fibers
A cell spends 90% of its time here (Normal cell life)
interphase
why do cells divide?
growth
repair
T/F: tRNA Holds our genetic information
False - DNA
The division of the cell into 2 new daughter cells
cytokinesis
During this stage, a new nucleus starts to form around the 2 new copies of chromosomes what have been uncoiled
What is telophase?
what phase of cell division does the cell go through active growth and protein synthesis
G1
where are the chromosomes housed
nucleus
in what stage of mitosis does the nucleus disappear, and spindle fibers start to form
What is prophase
Strings that control chromosome movement
spindle fibers
How many phases are in mitosis?
4
What does DNA condense into during cell division?
Chromatids or chromosomes
what is telophase
when the chromosomes uncoil, spindle fibers disappear, and new nuclei form (2)
what happens during the S phase of cell division
DNA replicates
How many cells form after mitosis?
two cells
In this stage of mitosis, chromatids align in the middle
Metaphase
prophase
What are the 4 stages of mitosis? (in order)
What is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophases?
the chromosomes first start to condense in this phase
prophase
A cell in the ________ phase of cell division are not actively dividing or preparing to divide
G-0 phase
What is the G2 phase of the cell division
cell organelles are produces to prepare for division
