200

What is the longest phase in the cell cycle?

Interphase

300

The cell cycle results in two genetically _________ cells.

Identical

400

The cell cycle phase where the cell grows to its full size, copies the DNA and organelles and prepares to divide is called the ________________.

Interphase

500

What is the importance of the cell cycle to multicellular organisms with respect to tissue repair?

The cell cycle replaces damaged, worn, and aging cells

Asexual

500

List the phases of mitosis in order.

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Interphase

100

What phase of the Interphase is when cells prepares the cell for division?

G2

200

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

Chromatin

300

Is the nuclear membrane still intact during interphase?

Yes

400

During interphase, ________________ is replicated.

DNA

500

G1, S, G2

Cell Division

100

List the phases of cell division in order.

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis

200

At which phase do the chromosomes become visible in the cell?

Prophase

300

In which phase do the nuclear envelopes reform around the separated chromosomes?

Telophase

400

At what phase in cell division do the spindle fibers pull the chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell?

Anaphase

500

Spindle fibers attach to the centromeres and chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell during this phase of cell division.

Metaphase

Cytokinesis

100

The division of the cytoplasm of the cell during cell division is referred to as_____________.

Cytokinesis

200

What is the end result of cytokinesis?

Two identical daughter cells

300

True or False: Cytokinesis is the division of the cell nucleus.

False. Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm. Mitosis is the division of the nucleus.

400

The pinching inward of the plasma membrane in an animal cell creates a ___________.

Cleavage furrow

500

In plant cells, a _______________ is built between the two daughter cells as they pull apart during cytokinesis.

Cell plate
