Life Cycle Stages
Structures
Phases of Mitosis
Organization
100
The longest phase of the life cycle.
What is interphase?
100
These structures contain the genes passed on from generation to generation.
What are chromosomes?
100
In this phase, chromosomes line up in the middle of the spindles.
What is metaphase?
100
Cells that work together to perform a specific function form this.
What is tissue?
200
The period of cell division in the cell life cycle.
What is mitosis?
200
This structure disappears during prophase and reappears during telophase.
What is the nuclear envelope?
200
In this phase, spindle fibers shorten, and sister chromatids are pulled apart.
What is anaphase?
200
Multiple organs that work together to perform a life function form this.
What is an organ system?
300
During these stages of interphase, the cell grows and metabolizes.
What are G1 & G2?
300
These structures are like ropes that attach to the chromosomes.
What are spindle fibers?
300
In this phase, chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope disappears.
What is prophase?
300
Two or more tissues organized to perform activities form what?
What is an organ?
400
During this stage of interphase, the chromosomes duplicate.
What is S?
400
These structures are like anchors that move to opposites sides of the cell during mitosis and hold the spindle fibers.
What are centrosomes?
400
In this phase, two nuclear envelopes appear.
What is telophase?
400
Multiple organ systems work together for the survival of this.
What is a whole organism?
500
These structures hold two sister chromatids together.
What are centromeres?
