What is DNA?
The 2 parts of the X-shaped chromosomes have this "sibling" name
sister chromatids
Mitotic spindles are formed from these.
What are centrioles?
This is the phase before the start of mitosis
What is interphase?
What is the term used for the eukaryotic cell division process?
What is mitosis?
DNA replication occurs during this phase.
What is the S phase (Synthesis phase)?
What is Cytokinesis?
During this stage, the nuclear membrane reforms
What is telophase?
The cell grows during these two phases in interphase?
What is G1, G2
These are the 3 stages of interphase, in order.
What is G1, S, and G2?
These are the thread-like structures that become microscopically visible in the cell nucleus as distinct x-shaped entities after DNA is replicated?
What are chromosomes?
What types of cells undergo mitosis?
What is somatic (body cells)?
In this mitosis stage, the chromosomes move toward to the poles of the cell
What is anaphase?
An apparatus of microtubules that resemble strings that controls chromosome movement during mitosis
What are spindle fibers?
In this stage of mitosis, the chromosomes align in the middle or equator of the cell
What is Metaphase?
The term for DNA that is wound together with proteins in their least condensed state before condensing into chromosomes
What is Chromatin
If a chicken has 82 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have at the end of mitosis?
What is 82?
This many cells arise from a single cell after the completion of mitosis and cytokinesis?
What is two cells?
In what stage of the cell cycle does cytokinesis begin?
What is telophase.
The area where spindle fibers attach to chromosome
What is the centromere?
These are the 4 stages of mitosis? (in order)
What is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophases?
during which stage of a cell's cycle do the replicated chromosomes thicken and become visible
What is prophase?
This is the thing that forms between 2 PLANT cells during cytokinesis
What is a cell plate
What is the end result of mitosis?
What is to create identical daughter cells?
