Describe that phase
In this phase spindle fibers separate sister chromatids into individual chromosomes
What is, Anaphase
Threadlike structure within the nucleus that contains genetic information. Often referred to as the "backpack" that houses genetic DNA.
What is, chromosomes
What is the pre-phase of cell division?
What is, Interphase
Interphase represents what three phases in the cell cycle?
What is, G1, S, G2
One half of a duplicated chromosome. Appears as two thick strands.
What is, sister chromatids
What is the last phase of mitosis?
What is, Telophase
During this phase of Interphase, cells increase in size and synthesize new proteins and organelles.
What is, G1
In Metaphase spindle fibers form between the poles?
What is, False. Spindle fibers form between poles in Prophase.
In this phase the centromeres of the duplicated chromosomes line up across the center of the cell.
What is, Metaphase
What is the last step of cell division?
What is, Cytokinesis
Most cell growth happens during Interphase.
What is, True
Describe what happens during prophase.
What is, genetic material condenses and the duplicated chromosomes become visible. Cell starts to build spindle fibers and centrioles move towards opposite ends of the cell.
Helps organize cell division (located in the centrosome)
What is, centrioles
what is the 1st phase of Mitosis?
What is, Prophase
During which phase of interphase are chromosomes replicated?
What is, S phase?
Describe what happens during Telophase.
What is, Chromosomes spread out into chromatic and the Nuclear envelope reforms around each new cluster to become the nucleus of the new daughter cells.
Part of a chromosome where two sister chromatids attach.
What is, a Centromere
What is the 3rd phase of mitosis?
What is, Anaphase
Cell division occurs in two stages. What are those two stages?
What is, Mitosis and Cytokinesis
In Telophase the nuclear envelope re-forms around each cluster of chromosomes.
What is, True
