MITOSIS 1
What is MITOSIS?
A single cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells.
The division (cleavage) furrow appears.
TELOPHASE
The spindle is formed
PROPHASE
The reason why mitosis is important
Growth and Repair
The division of cytoplasm
Cytokinesis
What is DNA?
Holds our genetic information
The cytoplasm of the cell is being divided.
CYTOKINESIS
The nuclear membrane begins to fade from view.
PROPHASE
In mitosis, the daughter cells are genetically __________to the parents.
Identical
Cells not replicating properly can results in this
What is cancer
The cell plate is completed.
CYTOKINESIS
Humans have how many chromosomes in a cell?
46 Chromosomes
In this mitosis stage, the reverse of prophase.
TELOPHASE
What are spindle fibers?
An apparatus of strings that controls chromosome movement during mitosis
How many phases are in mitosis
What is 4
The sister chromatids are moving apart
ANAPHASE
The chromosomes are moving towards the poles of the cell.
ANAPHASE
How many daughter cells are produced after mitosis?
Two identical daughter cells.
How many cells form after mitosis?
Two cells
The chromosomes line up randomly on the equator of the cell.
METAPHASE
What are the 4 stages of mitosis? (in order)
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase? (PMAT)
The chromosomes line up randomly on the ___________of the cell. A. Centromere B. Equator C. Spindle fiber
B. Equator
What is interphase?
The stage where the cell grows and prepares for division.
The two main stages of the cell cycle
Interphase and M phase
