The Cell Cycle
The cell spends most of it's cycle in this phase replicating DNA, performing life functions, growing and developing.
What is Interphase?
How many cells are produced when the Cell cycle and Mitosis are complete?
Two
This is the final separation of the cytoplasm between new daughter cells and signals then end of one cell cycle and the beginning of the next.
These are described as body cells and are the cells that undergo Mitosis.
What are somatic cells?
This phase is the first phase of Mitosis.
What is Prophase?
Describe the cells produced after Misosis:
a. Completely different
b. Similar
c. Identical
The two cells are identical.
During this phase of Mitosis, the Chromatin (DNA) condenses into Chromosomes and the nucleus begins to break down/disappear.
These are described as reproductive cells (egg and sperm) and undergo Meiosis.
What are gametes?
This phase is the second phase of Mitosis.
What is Metaphase?
List the phases of Mitosis in order.
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
During this phase of Mitosis, the Chromosomes line up in the Middle of the cell.
What is Metaphase?
These cells in your body are the ones that contain 46 pairs of chromosomes.
What are diploid cells?
This phase is the third phase of Mitosis.
What is Anaphase?
List the stages of the Cell cycle in order.
Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis
During this phase of Mitosis, the Chromosomes separate into sister Chromatids and these move to opposite ends of the cell.
What is Anaphase?
DNA is in this form during Interphase, it is unwound and replicating.
What is Chromatin?
This phase is the last phase of Mitosis.
What is Telophase?
If a somatic cells begins the cell cycle with 12 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will be present in the two identical daughter cells after Mitosis?
12
During this phase of Mitosis, Chromatids begin to unwind and two new nuclei (nucleus) form as the cell is almost done dividing.
What is Telophase?
DNA takes this form during Prophase when the chromatin condenses (packs up) to prepare for Mitosis (cell division).
What is Chromosomes?
