MITOSIS 1
Holds our genetic information
What is DNA?
When a chromosome duplicates, what is the second one called
What is sister chromatid?
Where are proteins synthesized?
Ribosomes
Cell spends 90% of its time here (Normal cell life)
What is interphase
What is the process by which a eukaryotic cell divides into two identical daughter cells?
What is mitosis?
During which phase of the cell cycle does DNA replication occur?
What is the S phase (Synthesis phase)?
What is the significance of cytokinesis in cell division?
What is the division of the cytoplasm and other organelles, resulting in two separate daughter cells?
During this stage, the nucleus splits up.
What is Prophase?
If a cell cannot move enough material through its membrane to survive, the the ratio of its surface area to volume is
too large
Cells not replicating properly can results in this
Cancer and mutations
What are the thread-like structures in the cell nucleus that contain genetic information and become visible as distinct entities during mitosis?
What are chromosomes?
In this mitosis stage, the chromosomes start to move to the poles of the cell?
What is anaphase?
During which of the following stages does the cytoplasm of a cell divide?
How many phases are in mitosis
What is 4
Long continue thread of DNA that consists of genes- they are X shaped
What is Chromosomes
Units of heredity from parents
What are genes
What is prokaryote cell division called?
Binary Fission
How many cells form after mitosis?
What is two cells?
Holds the sister chromatids together- Area where spindle fibers attach to chromosome
What is centromere
What are the 4 stages of mitosis? (in order)
What is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophases?
the chromosomes first start to condense in this phase
What is prophase?
What is the term for the uncontrolled and rapid division of cells, often associated with the formation of tumors?
What is cancer?
Death of a cell
Apoptosis
