Mitosis
Number of divisions
one
Chromosomes are coiled structures made of DNA and proteins
true
the phase when the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
metaphase
two cell divisions
meiosis
Single set of unpaired chromosomes
Haploid
The number of phases in mitosis.
four
If the cell is going to divide, it will not replicate its DNA
false
the phase when chromosomes pull apart toward the poles
anaphase
asexual reproduction
Mitosis
The number of cycles that meiosis goes through.
two
How many daughter cells are produced
2 daughter cells
Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm and organelles
true
the phase where chromosomes reach the poles and begin to uncoil
telophase
Daughter cells are genetically identical
mitosis
how many daughter cells produced
4 daughter cells
A spindle fiber is a specialized form of
microtubule
Cells in interphase have condensed chromosomes
false
the phase where chromosomes become visible
prophase
Humans, animals, plants, fungi.
meiosis
Pair of chromosomes with genes for the same characteristic; same size, centromere position.
Homologous chromosomes
The region of a chromosome where two sister chromatids are held together
centromere
Cells that seldom divide spend most of their time in interphase
true
the phase where the cytoplasm pinches off
cytokenisis
Creates haploid daughter cells
meiosis
3 ways homologous chromosomes are similar
Same type of genes
Same size & length
Same centromere position
