What are the stages of Mitosis, excluding Cytokinesis and Interphase?
What is Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase?
100
It is a repeating series of events that describes the life of a cell.
What is the cell cycle?
100

What phase of the cell cycle prepares the cell for division?

Interphase

100
A substance that regulates the cell cycle.
What are cell regulators?
100
What comes after Mitosis?
What is Cytokinesis?
200
What is the longest stage of Mitosis?
What is Prophase?
200
During cell division, the DNA in eukaryotic cells is tightly packed and coiled into structures known as what?
What are chromosomes?
200

During interphase, DNA has replicated and appears as a loosely coiled mass known as ___________.

Chromatin

200
What is cyclin?
A protein that regulates the cell cycle.
200
What happens during Cytokinesis?
Cytoplasm is pinched into two nearly equal parts or a cell plate forms midway between the divided nuclei.
300
Two new nuclei form during this stage of Mitosis.
What is Telophase?
300
In between cell divisions, DNA in eukaryotic cells is uncoiled and spread out in the form of what?
What is chromatin?
300

Is the nuclear membrane still intact during interphase?

Yes

300
True or False: Cyclins do not regulate the timing of the cell cycle in prokaryotic cells.
TRUE
300
The process in which prokaryotes (bacteria) reproduce.
What is binary fission?
400
What are the initial and final results of a cell going through Mitosis?
Beginning: 1 Diploid Parent Cell End: 2 Identical Diploid Daughter Cells
400
What is located near the nucleus to help organize cell division?
What are centrioles?
400

During interphase, ________________ is replicated.

DNA
400
TRUE or False: Once bound and activated, the Cdk signals the cell's exit from G1 and entry into G2 Phase.
FALSE
400
Phase where DNA synthesis (replication) occurs; at the beginning, each chromosome is single and at the end there are two sister chromatids.
What is S phase?
500
What is Anaphase?
Anaphase is a phase in Mitosis where the chromosomes split in the middle and the sister chromatids are pulled to the opposite poles of the cell.
500
A specialized condensed region of each chromosome that appears during mitosis where the chromatids are held together to form an X shape.
What are centromeres?
500

List the parts of cell cycle in order.

G1, S, G2, M phase, and Cytokinesis

500
What is the resulting complex when mitotic cyclins bind to Cdks in G2 phase?
What is Mitosis-promoting factor (MPF)?
500
Cells that don't divide go to this step.
What is G0 phase?
