Cell Cycle
What does G2 mean?
Prepare for Mitosis
List the stages if Mitosis in order
Prephase
Anaphase
Metaphase
Telophase
What is cytokinesis.
Division of the cytoplasm during cell division
In which stage does the spindle fibers form?
Prophase
Why is Mitosis important?
Because cell division results in two daughter cells, each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus.
What is the difference between gametes and somatic cells.
Somatic cells contain two full sets of chromosomes while gametes are reproductive cycle and are most often haploid cells.
Whats another name for spindle fibers?
Microtubules.
List the stages before Mitosis occurs.
G1
S
G2
Whats the difference between Hapliod and Diploid cells?
Haploid - Half of the chromosomes (23)
Diploid - All the chromosomes (46)
What structure is responsible for moving the chromosomes during mitosis?
Spindle fibers.
What are the stages of interphase do.
G1 - Cell growth
S - DNA replication
G2 - Prepare for mitosis
What is a Chromatid?
one of two identical "sister" parts of a duplicated chromosome
What is G0?
the phase in the cell cycle in which the cell is neither dividing nor preparing for division
In which stage does the cell split.
Telophase
What is a homoglogus pair of chromosomes?
