begins with chrom
This genetic information or DNA is not well formed during interphase, so it is not easily visible.
What is chromatin?
the type of reproduction done by bacteria
binary fission
When the spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of the chromosome.
What is metaphase?
This happens during the "S" phase of Interphase.
What is synthesis or replication of DNA?
Plant cells need this to divide during cytokinesis, but animal cells do not need it.
What is a cell plate?
Two of these are joined by a centromere.
What are chromatids?
the type of reproduction done by a starfish that loses an arm.
What is fragmentation?
When the nuclear membrane/envelope breaks down.
What is prophase?
The cell spends most of its time in this stage.
What is interphase?
The process by which cells become specialized to perform certain functions.
What is a cell differentiation?
Looks like a "X" in interphase.
What is a chromosome?
the type of reproduction done by yeast
budding
When the centromeres split and the chromatids move to opposite ends of the cell.
What is anaphase?
This happens during Gap-1.
What is the cell grows larger and makes more organelles to prepare for cell division.
The phases of interphase in order.
What is gap-1, synthesis, gap-2
spindle fibers are created by_______.
What are Centrioles?
number of parents involved in asexual reproduction
What is 1?
This is when you see a cleavage furrow?
What is telphase?
The stage where cell division occurs.
What is mitosis?
Where the chromosomes are located most of the cell cycle.
What is the nucleus?
When these are identical, they are called sister __________.
What are chromatids?
are offspring identical to parents in asexual reproduction
Yes
This is when the chromosomes are lined up along the center of the cell.
What is metaphase?
Estimate of the percentage of time a cell spends in interphase.
What is 90 percent of the cell cycle.
The phase when the nuclear membrane breaks down is ____________, two nuclei reappear during _________.
What is prophase and telophase?
