The longest phase of the cell cycle
What is, interphase
Long, thin fibers of de-condensed DNA and proteins
What is, chromatin
In what stage is a cell before mitosis begins?
What is, Interphase
The part of interphase when DNA replicates
What is, S phase
True or False: In Interphase, chromosomes are copied.
What is, True.
When does crossing over occur? Mitosis vs. Meiosis - and what phase? Include the roman numeral.
What is, Prophase I
Number of cycles in meiosis
What is, 2
During this phase, the cell makes final preparations to divide. For example, it makes additional proteins and organelles.
What is, G2 phase.
These form during Prophase when chromatin condenses
What is, chromosomes
The spindle fibers form in this phase.
What is, Prophase
________ is a disease that occurs when the cell cycle is no longer regulated
What is, Cancer
The doubled chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell
What is, anaphase
This structure helps in the formation of the spindle fibers that separate the chromosomes during cell division
What is, centrioles
The chromosomes reach opposite poles, cytokinesis occurs, the two cells produced by meiosis I divide to form four haploid daughter cells
What is, Telophase II
Put the following in the correct order of the eukaryotic cell cycle.
S, G1, M, G2
What is, G1 - S - G2 - M
A structure that forms in the cells of land plants while they are undergoing cell division to create two daughter cells
What is, cell plate
Homologous chromosomes line up along equator. Mitosis vs Meiosis - and what phase?
What is, Metaphase I
True or False? The mitosis phase includes both mitosis and cytokinesis.
What is, True
Cell division in prokaryotic cells is called _____
What is, Binary Fission
