The first phase of mitosis
What is, prophase
Long, thin fibers of DNA and proteins
What is, chromatin
What is the longest phase in the cell cycle
What is, Interphase
Why is the process of mitosis essential to the survival of an organism?
What is, it produces daughter cells to replace parent cells.
In Interphase chromosomes are copied?
What is, True.
During this phase, chromosomes line up in the center of the cell and spindle fibers attach to the centromeres.
What is, Metaphase
One half of a duplicated chromosome
What is, sister chromatid
What is the 3rd phase of mitosis
What is, Anaphase
What does the cell cycle produce?
What is, Two daughter cells
In Prophase spindle fibers form between the poles?
What is, True.
These form during Prophase when chromatin condenses.
What is, chromosomes
Holds two sister chromatids together
What is, centromere
what is the last phase of the cell cycle
What is, Cytokinesis
The cell cycle results in two genetically _________ cells.
What is, Identical
Mitosis is when cells divide
What is, True
These hold identical chromatids together.
What is, centromeres
Visible structure seen beginning in prophase
What is, chromosome
what is the term for nuclear division
What is, Mitosis
Cell cytoplasm divides in what phase?
What is, cytokinesis?
Daughter cells are exact copies of the parent cell?
What is, True-they are identical.
In this phase, a new nuclear membrane reappears.
What is, telophase
What makes up a chromosome
What is, DNA
If a cell becomes injured and can no longer carry out mitosis, what happens to the cell?
What is, it would be unable to divide into new cells and prevent growth.
Name 3 reasons we need the cell cycle?
What is, to grow, to repair, and to reproduce.
Telophase is the 4th phase of mitosis.
What is, True
