cell division
its cells are constantly dividing
Is the cell actually dividing or reproducing during interphase?
no
chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers and line up along the outside of the cell
false, they line up on the opposite sides of the cell
what part of the cell is split during cytokinesis?
cytoplasm
what's the purpose of cell division?
all the organism to grow, repair and reproduce itself
what does the cell maintain during this stage?
conducts normal cell functions
what stage develops two new nuclear envelopes?
Telophase
there's another step after cytokinesis
false
what kind of reproduction does cell division enable?
cells reproduce via asexual reproduction
what does interphase consist of?
preparing the cell for cell divison
what does PMAT stand for?
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase
what's the physical separation of the cytoplasm?
contractile ring
how does cell division repair the organism?
it creates identical copies of the cells lost via injury
Interphase is the shortest lasting phase
false
when do spindle fibers attach to the sister chromatids?
what does cytokinesis ensure?
that a nucleus ends up in each daughter cell
what is asexual reproduction in cell division?
cell dividing in two, creating a complete genetic copy of itself
why is interphase important to the process?
it grows and replicates its chromosomes for cell division
What is condensed genetic material called?
chromatids
how is the cytoplasm divided?
cell walls form around the daughter cells and pich off, separating them into two
We humans start out in the womb as....
a single cell
