100

These are the different phases of interphase.

What are G1, S, G2?

100

These structures appear as duplicated chromosomes.

What are sister chromatids?

100

The microtubules attach to this protein.

What is a kinetochore?

100

The shortening of these specific structures causes the sister chromatids to separate and move to opposite ends of the cell, effectively elongating the cell.

What are nonkinetochore microtubules?

100

Chromosomes become ____ ______ during these phases.

What is less condensed? 

200

This phase of interphase replicates DNA.

What is S phase?

200

This bundle of DNA condenses.

What is chromatin?

200

The maturation-promoting factor causes the phosphorylation of various proteins of the nuclear lamina, promoting the fragmentation of this structure during prometaphase.

What is the nuclear envelope?

200

Chromatids start separating when the pressure is sufficient to split this structure.

What is the centromere?

200

This is the number of chromosomes present during Telophase

What is 92?

300

This phase has the most important checkpoint.

What is G1 phase?

300

These structures disappear.

What are nucleoli?

300

This is the plane midway between the spindle's two poles at metaphase where the centromeres of all the duplicated chromosomes sit.


What is the equatorial plate?

300

The separation of sister chromatids does not begin until all the chromosomes are properly attached to this structure at the metaphase plate.

What is the mitotic spindle?

300

These 2 structures begin to reappear in each of the daughter cells being formed

What are the nucleoli and nuclear envelope?

400

If there is an issue, this phase enters a nondividing (quiescent) state known as G0 phase.

What is G1 phase?

400

This structure begins to form in the cytoplasm during early prophase.

What is the mitotic spindle?

400

By metaphase, the array of short microtubules has grown and is in contact with this part of the cell. 

What is the plasma membrane?

400

This mechanism occurs only when the kinetochores of all the chromosomes are properly attached to the spindle and ensures that daughter cells do not end up with missing or extra chromosomes.

What is the activation of the enzyme separase?

400

The appearance of ____ and ___ are signs of the beginning of cytokinesis in plant and animal cells

What are the cleavage furrow and cell plate?

500

These cells can stay in G0 forever.

What are muscle/nerve cells?

500

During prophase, the spindle microtubules are able to incorporate more subunits of the protein tubulin by doing this.

What is polymerization?

500

This radial array of short microtubules extends from each centrosome by the end of prometaphase.

What is an aster?

500

During anaphase, the maturation-promoting factor helps switch itself off by initiating a process that leads to the destruction of this.


What is cyclin?

500

In animal cells, these specific types of microfilaments organize in a ring during cytokinesis and interact with myosin, causing the ring to contract like a drawstring.

What are actin microfilaments?
