Cell Cycle
This is what follows interphase in a dividing cell.
What is the mitotic phase?
This is the process that allows the alleles of two (or more) genes to be sorted into gametes independently of each other.
These are the stages of mitosis.
What are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase?
These are the stages of meiosis.
What are prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I, prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II.
These are the four phases that can be found within interphase.
What are G0, G1, S phase, and G2.
This is the name of the material found within the nucleus including the DNA and supporting proteins.
What is chromatin?
These are the reasons it is important for mitosis to occur within humans.
What is growth, tissue repair, and reproduction of cells?
Following Telophase I and cytokinesis, there are this many daughter cells.
What are two daughter cells?
This is the result of cells that did not properly adhere to the cell division checkpoints.
What is cancer?
This is the name of the assembly of microtubules that push and pull chromosomes to opposite sides of the cell during cell division.
What is the mitotic spindle?
This is the stage of mitosis where the DNA is condensed into individual chromosomes and allows for the creation of karyotypes.
What is prophase?
This is the stage of meiosis in which crossing over occurs.
What is Prophase I?
This is the checkpoint that is responsible for ensuring that DNA is properly replicated before cellular division.
What is the G2 checkpoint?
This is the portion of the chromosome that acts as an attachment point for microtubules responsible for separating DNA during cellular division.
What is the centromere?
This is the stage of mitosis in which sister chromatids become daughter chromosomes.
What is anaphase?
The randomized lining up of homologous chromosomes during this stage of meiosis allows for independent assortment to occur.
What is Metaphase I?
This is the reason that cells may divide less frequently, remaining in interphase, once there are many cells in the area.
What is density dependent inhibition?
This is the name of the term that can be broken down into parts meaning "cell" and "moving away".
What is cytokinesis?
The formation of these structures during cytokinesis following mitosis of plant cells and animal cells are responsible for the main difference between the two cell types.
What is the formation of a cleavage furrow and formation of a cell plate?
This is the difference between homologous chromosomes and sister chromatids.
What are chromosomes containing the same genes but different alleles and identical copies of DNA?
