Cycles of Cell Cycle
The phase of the cell cycle that comes after interphase
What is cell division?
How many phases make up mitosis?
4
What is Helicase?
List the phases of cell division in order.
What are Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase?
This structure that holds sister chromatids together
What is a centromere?
The longest phase of the cell cycle
What is Interphase?
A loosely coiled mass of DNA, which is how it exists when not dividing.
What is chromatin?
The phase in which chromosomes become visible in the cell
What is prophase?
This process produces haploid gametes and is essential for genetic variation
What is Meiosis?
Mitosis results in two _________ cells
Identical
This enzyme adds complementary bases during DNA replication
What is DNA polymerase?
The stage where nuclear envelopes reform around the separated chromosomes
What is telophase?
This blood cell cannot divide by mitosis because it does not have a nucleus
What is a red blood cell?
The phase in which the cell is preparing to divide
What is Interphase?
DNA Replication is described as this type of process
What is semi-conservative replication?
The stage in cell division where the spindle fibers pull the chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell?
What is anaphase?
The pinching apart of the cytoplasm in an animal cell creates this
What is a cleavage furrow?
Repair and growth of cells
What is the function of the cell cycle?
Name 2 processes other than DNA replication that occur during interphase in animal or plant cells
What is protein synthesis, respiration, transcription, or photosynthesis?
Spindle fibers attach to the centromeres and chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell during this phase of cell division.
What is Metaphase?
In plant cells, this is built between the two daughter cells as they pull apart during cytokinesis.
What is a cell plate?
