Interphase
Phases of Mitosis
100
The purpose of mitosis.
What is to divide one cell into two identical daughter cells?
100
This is the phase of the cell cycle where cells are growing and developing.
What is the G1 phase?
100
The first phase of mitosis where chromosomes start to condense and the nucleus starts to dissolve.
What is prophase?
200
Mitosis happens during this phase of the cell cycle.
What is the M Phase?
200
During the S phase of the cell cycle, the cell replicates its _________.
What is DNA?
200
The second phase of mitosis where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
What is metaphase?
300
The cell must do this to its DNA before starting mitosis.
What is replicate?
300
This phase of the cell cycle is where cells prepare to begin mitosis.
What is the G2 phase?
300
The third phase of mitosis where the spindle fibers separate chromosomes and pull them to opposite sides of the cell.
What is anaphase?
400
A dense, X-shaped piece of DNA is called this.
What is a chromosome?
400
Before a cell gets too big, it will do this.
What is divide?
400
The fourth phase of mitosis where chromosomes start to de-condense, and two new nuclei start to form in the new cells.
What is telophase?
500
This will happen to a new cell that has the wrong number of chromosomes.
What is apoptosis (cell death)?
500
When the cell is in interphase, DNA is stretched out into __________.
What is chromatin?
500
The final phase of cell division where the cell membrane and cytoplasm split into two separate, identical cells.
What is cytokinesis?
