MITOSIS 1
Holds our genetic information
What is DNA?
The 2 parts of the X-shaped chromosomes have this "sibling" name
chromatids
This is the phase before the start of mitosis
What is interphase?
DNA replication occurs during this phase.
What is the Interphase?
What is the process by which a cell divides into two identical daughter cells?
What is mitosis?
During this stage, the nuclear membrane reforms
What is telophase?
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?
The cells splits in two during this stage.
What is Cytokinesis?
In this mitosis stage, the chromosomes move toward to the poles of the cell
What is anaphase?
The resulting daughter cells of mitosis contain this number of chromosomes
What is 46
Humans have this many chromosomes in their body cells
What is 23 pairs?
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?
What are the 4 phases of mitosis, in correct order?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
This many cells arise from a single cell after the completion of mitosis and cytokinesis?
What is two cells?
