Cycles of Cell Cycle
What occurrence within the cell does the cell cycle represent?
Cell division
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
The division of the cytoplasm of the cell during cell division is referred to as_____________.
Cytokinesis
What is the longest phase in the cell cycle?
What is the longest phase in the cell cycle?
True or False: Cytokinesis is included in the phases of mitosis.
false
During interphase, DNA has replicated and appears as a loosely coiled mass known as ___________.
Chromatin
At which phase do the chromosomes become visible in the cell?
Prophase
What is the end result of cytokinesis?
Two identical daughter cells
The cell cycle results in two genetically _________ cells.
Identical
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
True or False: Cytokinesis is the division of the cell nucleus.
False. Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm. Mitosis is the division of the nucleus.
The cell cycle state where the cell grows to its full size, copies the DNA and organelles and prepares to divide is called the ________________.
Interphase
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
The pinching apart of the cytoplasm in an animal cell creates a ___________.
Cleavage furrow
What is the importance of the cell cycle to multicellular organisms with respect to tissue repair?
The cell cycle replaces damaged, worn, and aging cells
a process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells (cell division).
mitosis
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
In plant cells, a _______________ is built between the two daughter cells as they pull apart during cytokinesis.
cell plate
