Name the phase
Metaphase
How many phases make up Mitosis
4
What phase of the cell cycle prepares the cell for division?
Interphase
List the phases of cell division in order.
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
What is the structure at center of chromosome that holds the copies of DNA together?
Centromere
What phase does chromatin condense into chromosomes?
Prophase
True or False: Cytokinesis is included in the phases of mitosis.
False
During interphase, DNA has replicated and appears as a tangled ball of yarn known as ___________.
Chromatin
At which phase do the chromosomes become visible in the cell?
Prophase
What is the structure that is the two copies of identical DNA within a copied chromosome?
Sister Chromatids
In which phase does two new nuclei form?
Telophase
True or False: Interphase is NOT included in the phases of mitosis.
True
Is the nuclear membrane still intact during interphase?
Yes
In which phase do the nuclear envelopes reform around the separated chromosomes?
Telophase
What is the function of a centriole?
It is a cell organelle where the spindle fibers come from
What phase does copied chromosomes break apart into single chromosomes?
Anaphase
What type of reproduction is occurring during mitosis?
Asexual
During interphase, ________________ is replicated.
DNA
At what phase in cell division do the spindle fibers pull the chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell?
Anaphase
What is chromatin?
It is the relaxed form of DNA that is in the nucleus (looks like a tangled ball of yarn)
What phase does the nuclear membrane reform?
Telophase
List the phases of mitosis in order.
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
List the three parts of interphase in order.
G1, S, G2
Spindle fibers attach to the centromeres and chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell during this phase of cell division.
Metaphase
What is the difference between sister chromatids and a single chromosome?
Both have only one copy of DNA but sister chromatids are only called this when in a copied chromosome. A single chromosome refers to one copy of DNA after the copied chromosome has been broken.
