MITOSIS 1
Holds our genetic information
DNA
The 2 parts of the X-shaped chromosomes have this "sibling" name
sister chromatids
centrioles
This is the phase before the actual start of mitosis
interphase
What is the process by which a eukaryotic cell divides into two identical daughter cells?
mitosis
Which organelle produces the energy a cell needs to carry out its function?
Mitochondria
During which phase of interphase does DNA replication occur?
S phase (Synthesis phase)
The cell splits in 2 in this phase
cytokinesis
During this stage, the nuclear membrane begins to reform
telophase
In which part of interphase does the cell grow?
G1, G2
Name the 3 stages of interphase in order
G1, S, G2
Which organelle digest and gets rid of waste and old organelles?
Lysosomes
What are the thread-like structures in the cell nucleus that become visible as distinct x-shaped entities after DNA is replicated?
chromosomes
The number of chromosomes inside a human cell
46
In this mitosis stage, the chromosomes start to move to the poles of the cell
anaphase
An apparatus of strings that controls chromosome movement during mitosis
spindle fibers
In this stage of mitosis, the chromosomes align in the middle or equator of the cell
Metaphase
Which organelle forms a maze of passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another?
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
genetic material resembling string
chromatin
What are the 4 stages of mitosis? (in order)
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
the chromosomes first start to condense in this phase
prophase
How many cells form after mitosis?
two cells
What percent of its life will a cell stay in interphase?
90%
Which organelle receives proteins and materials from the ER, packages them and distributes them?
Golgi Apparatus/Body
Mitosis occurs in which cells?
body or somatic cells
What is apoptosis?
programmed cell death
What forms between 2 cells during the end of telophase that helps them split apart?
cleavage/pinch
If a cell contains 10 chromosomes and undergoes mitosis, how many chromosomes will the daughter cells have?
10 chromosomes each
Why do cells go through the process of mitosis?
Repair, Replace, Growth
What is the purpose of the cell membrane?
To control what enters and leaves the cell
