MITOSIS 1
Holds our genetic information
What is DNA?
The 2 parts of the X-shaped chromosomes have this "sibling" name
sister chromatids
Mitotic spindles are formed in this phase
prophase
This is the phase before the actual start of mitosis
What is interphase
What is the process by which a eukaryotic cell divides into two identical daughter cells?
What is mitosis?
Does mitosis make diploid or haploid cells?
DIPLOID
What happens during cytokinesis?
The cell splits in 2
During this stage, the nuclear membrane begins to reform
What is telophase?
What are somatic cells?
body cells
Name the 4 stages of mitosis in order
PROPHASE, METAPHASE, ANAPHASE, TELOPHASE
What are the thread-like structures in the cell nucleus that become visible as distinct x-shaped entities after DNA is replicated?
What are chromosomes?
In this mitosis stage, the chromosomes start to move to the poles of the cell
What is anaphase?
An apparatus of 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?
DNA that condenses into this before fully condensing into chromosomes
What is Chromatin
Is mitosis sexual or asexual?
ASEXUAL
What forms between 2 animal cells during cytokinesis that helps them split apart?
cleavage furrow
How many cells form after mitosis?
What is two cells?
how many chromosomes do the resulting daughter cells have after mitosis?
46
How many chromosomes are in a human somatic cell?
46
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?
Which phase has a cleavage furrow?
TELOPHASE
What phase do chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell ?
metaphase
