Cytokinesis
Is Cytokinesis different in animal and plant cells?
Yes.
What are the phases of mitosis in order?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
In Interphase, does the cell divide?
No, it is preparing to divide.
What are the three stages in the cell cycle?
Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis
What happens in Cytokinesis in animal cells?
-The cytoplasm divides into 2
-The cell membrane pinches in to form 2 new cells.
Name 1 thing that happens in prophase.
-Chromatin condenses to form chromosomes
-Nuclear membrane disappears
Is interphase part of mitosis?
No
False
What happens in cytokinesis to plant cells?
A cell plate forms down the middle first which will eventually become the cell wall. The cell then splits into 2 new cells
What phase do all the chromosomes line up and attach to spindle fibers?
Metaphase
Is interphase the resting phase?
Yes
Which phase in the cell cycle has stages of its own?
True or False : Cytokinesis is the shortest phase in the cell cycle
True
What happens in Anaphase?
Chromosomes are split and pulled to opposite ends by spindle fibers
In this phase, is DNA in the form of chromatin or chromosome?
Chromatin
What is the difference between the cell cycle and mitosis?
Mitosis is the 2nd stage in the Cell Cycle that consists of its own 4 phases
Where do the new cells that cytokinesis creates go?
Those new cells go back into the Cell Cycle and enter Interphase.
True or False : 3 new nuclei form around the chromosomes
False, 2 new nuclei form around the chromosomes
Name 2 things that interphase does.
-the cell grows to its mature size
-DNA replicates
-the cell prepares to divide
Name 3 reasons of why we go through cell cycle
-Growth - most growth happens because cell division produces new cells
-Replace old or dead cells
-Repair - replace damaged cells (heal cuts or wounds)
-Certain animals can regenerate body parts
