Cell Cycle 1
When do cells copy their DNA?
interphase
Prophase
During what process does the cytoplasm and its contents divide into two identical daughter cells?
During cytokinesis
Phase where chromosomes meet in the middle on spindle fibers
Metaphase
During G1 of Interphase, what is the cell doing?
Cell Grows
Organelles are copied
What are the two main parts of the cell cycle?
In what stage of mitosis do two membranes form around the genetic material?
Telophase
What is one reason that cells go through the process of mitosis?
To replace old cells, for growth or for repair
During the mitotic phase, what is the order of the phases
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
The two structures making up a chromosome
(Sister) chromatids
When playing the cell cycle game, our cells spend 90% of their time in this phase
Interphase
What phase is being shown in image 6?
Metaphase
Where sister chromatids are joined
Centromere
What part of the cell cycle breaks and separates the sister chromatid (pulls to each end)?
Anaphase
When do two new identical nuclei form during mitosis?
During telophase
During the S phase of interphase, what is the cell doing?
coping DNA
Cell pops in half with identical organelles and DNA, and then the whole process starts over again
Cytokinesis
What disappears during prophase?
The nucleus / nuclear membrane
Most of the cells in your body are made through which process?
Mitosis
Chromosomes separate at centromeres and move along spindle fibers to the ends of the cell
Anaphase
Nuclear membranes return around DNA
Telophase
