The Cell Cycle
The three stages of the cell cycle are ...
What are Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis?
During this phase DNA replicates.
What is Synthesis/
From a chronological perspective, mitosis takes up this amount of the cell cycle.
What is 10%?
Whether you include it in mitosis or make it a separate part of the cell cycle, this phase creates two new separate cells.
What is cytokinesis?
This is what the cell wall of an animal cell is made of?
Trick question - Animal cells do not have cell walls.
This is a form of programmed "cell death" that occurs when errors are detected in the cell cycle.
What is apoptosis?
This phase can continue indefinitely if the cell is not designed to replicate.
What is G0?
This is the most important cellular change during telophase.
What is the appearance of two new nuclear membranes?
Cytokinesis is made of two suffixes - "Cyto" and "Kinesis". Individually these mean ...
What is "Cyto" means "cell", and "Kinesis" means "to move"?
If you are wearing 2X glasses, and you observe a bacteria through a 5X ocular lens and a 40X objective lens, what is the total magnification to which the bacteria is subjected?
What is 400X?
The three stages of interphase, in order, are ...
What are G1, S, G2?
Can I find "cars" on a "tree"?
What is NO? Cars go in a garage!
During this phase, the DNA strands condense into chromatin and the nuclear membrane disappears.
What is prophase?
Cytokinesis in an animal cell begins with a structure called a ...
What is a cleavage furrow?
Is the nuclear membrane of a bacterial cell made of the same macromolecules as the nuclear membrane of an animal cell?
What is TRICK QUESTION - bacterial cells do not HAVE nuclear membranes?
This is what we call this stage of interphase, if a cell that enters G1 is destined to remain undivided.
What is G0?
There are this many carbons within the ribose ring.
What is four?
During this phase, the spindle fibers start to pull the separated chromatids to the opposite poles.
What is anaphase?
Cytokinesis in a plant cell begins with a structure called a ...
What is a phragmoplast, or a cell plate?
Taken together, the centrioles AND the new short spindle fibers are called the ...
What is the centrosome?
At this point in mitosis we find the 3rd checkpoint.
What is the border between metaphase and anaphase?
The three components (chemical moieties) of a nucleotide.
What are a phosphate head, a ribose (sugar) backbone, and a variable base?
The point on the centromere where the spindle fiber attaches is called ...
What is the kinetochore?
What cellular feature is responsible for the formation of a cleavage furrow?
What are Actin filaments?
This is the most effective drug for killing a virus.
What is TRICK QUESTION - viruses are NOT alive, so they cannot be killed; only inactivated.
