What name is given to one of two identical parts of a duplicated chromosome?


How are these duplicates connected together?

1) Chromotid

2) Centromere

100

What phase is shown?

Prophase 

100

In this phase, the microtubules shorten, pulling apart the sister chromatids.

Anaphase 

100

G1, S, and G2 are collectively known as?

Interphase 

100

This is an indentation or “pinched in” area on the surface of an animal cell;  it will continue to pinch inward until two separate cells are formed.

Cleavage Furrow 

100

What is the relationship between the mother cell and the 2 daughter cells?

They are exactly alike  

200

What might happen to a cell that has undergone mitosis but not cytokinesis?

The cell would have two nuclei.

200

What phase is shown?

Anaphase

200

In this phase, the chromatids are lined up at the center of the cell.

Metaphase 

200

What events occur in the G1 phase?

Cell doubles in size, enzymes and cell bound organelles double in number. 

200

In plants, it is not possible for the cell to pinch inward because of the rigid cell wall.  A _______ is produced between two dividing plant cells during telophase.

Cell Plate

In mitosis,  1 Mother Cell 🡪   ??

2 Identical daughter cells 

300

What part of the cell organizes the building of the mitotic spindle?

Centriole

300

What phase is shown?

Telophase

300

In this phase, the cell cytoplasm is divided into two parts.

Telophase

300

What occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle?

DNA Replication 

300

What is the end result of mitosis in a unicellular organism?

A new Organism (Asexual Reproduction)

300

There are two main reasons why cells divide rather than continuing to grow larger and larger.  Name the two reasons

1) Large cells place to much demand on the DNA of the cell 

2) Large cells have trouble getting enough nutrients across the cell membrane 

400

What name is given to the framework to which the sister chromatids become attached?


What is this framework composed of?

1) Spindle Fibers

2) MicroTubles


400

What is next thing to happen?

Cytokinesis

400

In this phase, the nuclear membrane disappears, the nucleolus disappears, and the chromatids condense, shorten and thicken.

Prophase

400

What is the cell cycle?


It is the life of a cell from the time it is first formed from a dividing parent cell until its own division into two cells.

400

What is the result of mitosis in a multicellular organism?

Growth and Repair 

400

What is mitosis?


What is cytokinesis?

1) Mitosis is the division of the nucleus 

2) Cytokinesis is the division of the cell membrane and cytoplasm 

500

What is the purpose of the spindle?

The microtubules of the spindle “push” the chromatids to the center of the cell during metaphase, and “pull” them apart during anaphase.

500

How did these chromosomes get lined up in the middle?

The Spindle fibers pushed and pulled them into position. 

500

This is a phase in which the cell is not dividing, but carrying out its normal functions.

Interphase

500

What occurs during the G2 phase of the cell cycle?

What is an example of the structures created?

1)The creation of special structures that assist with the division of the nucleus 


2)Centrioles, Microtubles

500

This results when there is  runaway, uncontrollable cell division because the controls that keep cell division under control have failed to do their job.

Cancer Cells 

500

As a cell grows, what is the relationship between the volume and the surface area?

The volume increases at a much greater rate than the surface area of the cell.
