All about Mitosis
What is Mitosis?
Mitosis is the duplication/division of a cell
In what phase does the cell grow and get ready for Mitosis?
Interphase
What is a chromosome?
DNA that passes genetic information from one generation to another
daughter cells form and cytoplasm divides creating a new cell wall in....
Cytokinesis
Name the phases of Mitosis is order.
Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis.
Define Chromatin?
Relaxed form of DNA in the nucleus of a cell
Why does a chromosome need a centromere?
It holds the chromatids together
In what phase do the microtubules shorten and the chromosomes move to the opposite side?
Anaphase
In what phases do Chromatin occur in?
Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis
What is another word for sister chromatids?
Chromosome
In Telophase what is the indication line that separates the cell called?
Cleavege
Cell structure that joins 2 sister chromatid is called
Centromere
Why do spindle fibers form?
Spindle fibers form a protein structure that divides the genetic material in a cell.
Name the phases of mitosis and explain what happens in each cell
Interphase- Cell grows and prepares for mitosis
Prophase- Chromatin condenses into chromosomes
Metaphase- Chromosomes align in the middle of cell
Anaphase- Chromosomes move to opposite sides of cell and prepare to divide
Telophase- division of cell
Cytokinesis- 2 new cell form
Organelle that plays a role in cell division and is made of microtubles
Centriole
