Holds our genetic information
What is DNA?
When a chromosome duplicates, what is the second one called
What is sister chromatid?
During this stage, the nucleus splits up.
What is Prophase?
How many cells form after mitosis?
What is two cells?
The double-layered membrane enclosing the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell.
What is Nuclear Envelope.
In this mitosis stage, the chromosomes start to move to the poles of the cell?
What is anaphase?
When all the spindle fibers are attached to each chromatid / chromosome, they align in the center of the cell along this.
What is Metaphase plate.
What are the structures in the cell nucleus that contain genetic information and become visible as distinct entities during mitosis?
What are chromosomes?
During which of the following stages does the cytoplasm of a cell divide?
Cytokinesis
Cell spends 80% of its time here (Normal cell life)
What is interphase
During this checkpoint, the cell checks if :
There is any damage in the DNA again
All of the chromatin has been replicated properly
What is the G2 Checkpoint
Holds the sister chromatids together- Area where spindle fibers attach to chromosome
What is centromere
The relaxing of, or unwinding of Chromosomes.
What is Decondense
During which phase of the cell cycle does DNA replication occur?
What is the S phase (Synthesis phase)?
During this checkpoint, the cell checks if :
Checks if there is any damage in the DNA
Checks if it has grown large enough in size
Checks if the cell has enough ATP to divide
What is the G1 Checkpoint.
The centrosome/centrioles formed during interphase also produce this from the protein cytoskeleton.
What is spindle fibers.
The centrosomes/centrioles use the spindle fibers to pull the chromosome pairs apart, separating the sister chromatids evenly and dragging them to the opposite sides of the cell
What is Anaphase.
This is the last check point.
What is the M Checkpoint.
A structure that organizes the cell’s spindle fibers
What is Centrosome. (centrioles works too)
