Cell Division
The type of cell division in which the nucleus of a cell divides into two nuclei and two identical daughter cells are formed.
What is Mitosis?
What type of cell division produces gametes?
What is Meiosis?
When chromatin (loose DNA and associated proteins) condenses, what is formed?
what is chromosomes?
What is the series of repeating growth and cell divisions?
what is cell cycle?
How many cells does mitosis produce?
what is 2 cells?
In what phase of mitosis do the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell?
What is Metaphase?
How many rounds of divisions take place during meiosis?
What is 2?
What is the central connective point of chromosomes?
what is centromere?
In what stage in the cell cycle is DNA replicated?
what is s phase or synthesis?
This is a fundamental rule of biology:
A cells ______ determines it’s function.
A cell has two copies of this to allow the cell to divide into genetically identical daughter cells during mitosis.
What is chromatids?
What is the name of cells that are produced from meiosis?
what is Gametes?
Also accept sperm and egg.
Why would the checkpoint in M phase fail?
what is misaligned chromosomes?
In what stage of the cell cycle does a cell spend the majority of its life?
what is interphase?
What part of the cell does the surface area represent in a surface area to volume concept?
what is the cell membrane?
During mitosis, what attaches to the chromosomes and helps to pull them to opposite ends of the cell?
What is Spindle Fibers?
What is a cell called that only has one copy of chromosomes?
In a set of homologous chromosomes, where does each of the chromosomes come from?
what is your parents or mom/dad?
What kind of regulatory factor is this:
Cyclins activate enzymes to move the cell cycle along.
what is internal?
What is considered the
guardian of the genome?
p53
During cytokinesis in plant cells, what forms in between the two newly formed cells?
Cell Plate
This process occurs during prophase 1 of meiosis 1 and is responsible for increased genetic variation.
what is cross over?
What are the two identical copies of DNA that make up a chromosome?
what is sister chromatids?
Why would the G1 checkpoint fail?
what is because of insufficient cell growth?
Which cell types in your body never go through mitosis?
(aka they don’t replicate, they stay in G0)
brain cells, nerve cells, cardiac muscle cells.
