What is the longest portion of the cell cycle (90%)?

Interphase

100

What happens to the chromosomes?

They condense

100

Where do the centrosomes line up?

The metaphase plate

100
Do microtubules shorten or lengthen?

Shorten

100

Do chromosomes become denser or become less dense?

Less dense

200

What are the 3 phases of interphase?

G1, S, G2

200

Do the chromosomes line up?

No, that is metaphase.

200

Is this a picture of metaphase?


Yes, notice the line

200

What happens to the cell?

The cell elongates.

200

What developes and reappears?

Nuclear envelope developes and the nucleoli reappear

300

What happens in S Phase

DNA replication

300

List the 4 Key events in early prophase:

1) chromosomes condense

2)nucleoli disappear

3)mitotic spindle forms

4)centrosomes move further away

300

What attaches the chromosomes to the opposite poles?

Microtubules

300

What is an example of an error that can happen in anaphase?

Non-disjunction
300

What is the definition of cytokinesis?

The division of the cytoplasm

400

Is interphase a part of mitosis?

No, mitosis happens after interphase.

400

What happens to the nuclear envelope in late prophase?

It breaks down

400

Where do the microtubules attach to on the chromosome?

kinetochore 

400

What step in MITOSIS is anaphase?

3rd

400

What appears in animals?

A cleavage furrow

500
What is G0?
When cells do not divide and some reenter the cell cycle
500

Explain what happens to the nuclear area in late prophase:

Microtubules enter the nuclear area with some attaching to kinetochores.

500

Sister chromatids are....

lined up

500

Sister chromosomes are....

Pulled apart

In plants, where do vesicles go, and what do they form?

They go to the middle of the cell and form a cell plate
