Chromosomes
What is the name of condensed, tightly-coiled DNA?
Chromosomes
What are the correct steps of Mitosis in order?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
What phase does the cell spend most of its time in?
Interphase
What is the process of creating gametes called?
Meiosis
What is each half of a chromosome called?
Chromatid
What happens in Prophase?
Centrioles form at poles and DNA condenses into chromosomes
What are the steps of Interphase in order?
G1, S, G2
Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I
What joins chromatids together at the center?
Centromere
What happens in Metaphase?
Spindle fibers form and chromosomes line up at equator of cell
What happens in the cell during G1 phase?
What happens to chromotids in meiosis?
What holds chromosomes together at the ends of the chromosome?
Telomeres
What happens in Anaphase?
Sister chromatids are pulled apart to each side of cell
What happens to the cell in S phase?
DNA is replicated
In meiosis, the parent cell is diploid or haploid?
Diploid
Are chromatids split up in Mitosis?
Yes
What happens in cytokinesis?
Cell membranes are physically pinched off into 2 daughter cells
Cell carries out normal functions and prepares to divide.
In Meiosis, the 4 daughter cells are diploid or haploid?
Haploid
