MITOSIS 1
Holds our genetic information
What is DNA?
The 2 parts of the X-shaped chromosomes have this "sibling" name
sister chromatids
centrioles
This is the phase before the actual start of mitosis
What is interphase
What is the process by which a eukaryotic cell divides into two identical daughter cells?
What is mitosis?
During which phase of interphase does DNA replication occur?
What is the S phase (Synthesis phase)?
What happens during cytokinesis?
The cell splits in 2
During this stage, the nuclear membrane begins to reform
What is telophase?
In which part of interphase does the cell grow?
G1, G2
Name the 3 stages of interphase in order
G1, S, G2
What are the thread-like structures in the cell nucleus that become visible as distinct x-shaped entities after DNA is replicated?
What are chromosomes?
In this mitosis stage, the chromosomes start to move to the poles of the cell
What is anaphase?
An apparatus of strings that controls chromosome movement during mitosis
What are spindle fibers
In this stage of mitosis, the chromosomes align in the middle or equator of the cell
What is Metaphase?
DNA that condenses into this before fully condensing into chromosomes
What is Chromatin
What forms between 2 animal cells during cytokinesis that helps them split apart?
cleavage furrow
How many cells form after mitosis?
What is two cells?
how many chromosomes do the resulting daughter cells have after mitosis?
46
Area within the centromere where spindle fibers attach to chromosome
Kinetochore
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
What is prophase?
This is the thing that forms between 2 PLANT cells during cytokinesis
Cell plate
What is checked during the M checkpoint?
that the mitotic spindles are connected properly to the kinetochore
