The cell cycle can be categorized into two main sections; Interphase and ____________.
Mitosis
100
Centrioles begin moving to opposite ends of the cell and fibers extend from the centromeres
Prophase
100
Spindle fibers align the chromosomes along the middle of the cell nucleus
Metaphase
100
A structure within a cell that contains the genetic material
Chromosome
100
The process where a single cell divides into two identical cells is called:
Mitosis
200
G1 phase, S phase, and G2 phase are all parts of the collective phase called:
Interphase
200
About what percentage of time does a cell spend in prophase?
Approximately 28%
200
What percentage of time does a cell spend in telophase?
Approximately 2%
200
A combination of nucleic acids and proteins that condenses to form a chromosome during cell division
Chromatin
200
The four main phases of mitosis
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
300
The stage of interphase where DNA replication occurs is called ___________________________.
Synthesis
300
Chromatin in the nucleus begins to condense and becomes distinguishable as chromosomes
Prophase
300
Two daughter cells have been created
Cytokinesis
300
The point at which two sister chromatids that make up an X-shaped chromosome join together
Centromere

What cell cycle stages are cell cycle regulation checkpoints when the cell ensures the proper environment is established before continuing with replication of chromosomes or mitosis functions?
G1 and G2
400
New membranes form around the daughter nuclei
Telophase
400
BONUS 100 POINTS!
:)
400
A specialized condensed region of each chromosome that appears during mitosis in order to allow the chromatids to hold together in the form of an X shape
Kinetochore
400
Paired chromosomes separate at the kinetochores during which phase of mitosis?
Anaphase
500
During which phase of the cell cycle does the cell undergo chromosome replication?
Synthesis
500
Spindle fibers draw back and chromosomes disperse
Telophase
500
Proteins attach to the centromeres, creating kinetochores, & chromosomes begin moving
Prometaphase
500
A self-replicating organelle typically located in the cytoplasm near the nucleus; involved in the process of nuclear division
Centriole
500
Which phase of the cell cycle does a cell spend most of its life in?
