100

What is the longest phase in the cell cycle?

Interphase

100
How many cells does cytokinesis end with?

Two identical daughter cells

100

What phase do chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?

Metaphase

100

What is the first phase of mitosis?

Prophase

100

What stage is this cell?

Interphase

200

What happens to the nuclear membrane during prophase?

It dissolves, freeing the chromosomes

200

What is the significance of the centromere?

It is the point where sister chromatids are attached.

200

What happens to DNA during prophase?

It condenses and becomes visible

200

Which two cells represents anaphase?

7 and 9

200

What stage is this cell? 

Anaphase- sister chromatids pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell

300

Which letter represents mitosis of the cell cycle?

W

300

Define "chromatin"

uncoiled, loose DNA

300

What happens if a checkpoint fails?

Could potentially cause cancer, uncontrolled cell growth
300

When an animal cell begins to pinch in the middle during telophase, what is that area called?

Cleavage furrow

300

What happens to a cell if a checkpoint detects a flaw in the DNA?

Apoptosis- programmed cell death

400

What process MUST take place before mitosis can occur properly?

DNA replication

400

What is the role of the M checkpoint?

Checks that sister chromatids are correctly attached to spindle finers/microtubules

400

What forms in a plant cell during telophase?

Cell Plate (beginnings of a cell wall)

400

What is the purpose of the G1 checkpoint?

Evaluates the integrity of the DNA, checking for damage. Checks to see if cell has grown enough.

400

Which cell is at the latest stage of mitosis?

Y- two nuclei have formed, telophase
500

If a cell has 46 chromosomes in G1 (normal cell), how many chromosomes will it have after cytokinesis?

46, cell division ends with two identical daughter cells

500

Place these in correct sequence

A-Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell

B- DNA condenses into chromosomes

C-Sister chromatids move to opposite sides of the cell

B, A, C

500

What phase does a cell enter after cytokinesis?

G1 of interphase

500

What structure plays a role in cell division but is only found in animal cells?

Centriole

500

During G1 phase a normal cell has 46 chromatids, how many chromatids will it have after S phase?

96- chromatids
