Cytokinesis & Telephase
100
what stage is Prophase in mitosis?
What is the first stage
100
what stage is Metaphase in Mitosis?
what is the second stage
100
what stage is Interphase?
Interphase is the phase that happens before Mitosis.
100
What stage is Anaphase in mitosis?
what is the third stage
100
Why do we associate telophase with "two"?
because by the end of telophase, the cell has two identical nuclei.
200
What first becomes visible (if you were to look through a microscope) during prophase?
What are Chromosomes
200
What attach to the chromosome during metaphase?
What are spindle fibers
200
Is Interphase the longest or shortest phase?
what is the longest phase
200
What are pulled apart during Anaphase?
What are Chromosomes
200
What is cytokinesis?
the division of the cytoplasm into two daughter cells.
300
What phase does prophase transitions into?
what is metaphase
300
Why do we associate metaphase with "middle"?
because during metaphase, a cell’s chromosomes, which carry genetic information, are aligned at the middle
300
What happens during Interphase?
The cell grows and DNA is copied.
300
What is happening in this picture?
what is chromosomes have separated and are moving toward the poles
300
What reforms during telophase?
Nuclear envelopes form around each set of chromosomes.
400
Why do cells in multicellular organisms undergo mitosis?
Why do unicellular organisms undergo mitosis?
multicellular: what is growth and repair?
unicellular: what is reproduction?
400
What do chromosomes do during metaphase?
what is lining up at the equator of the cell
400
What are chromosomes made of?
chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
400
Why do we associate anaphase with "away"?
During anaphase, chromosomes move away from each other.
400
Are the daughter cells at the end of mitosis similar to the parent cell?
The daughter cells created at the end of mitosis are identical to the parent cell.
500
What disappears during prophase?
What is the nuclear membrane (aka, nuclear envelope)?
500
What is the orange in the metaphase picture?
What is centroiles
500
What would happen if DNA was not duplicated during Interphase?
If DNA is not duplicated, the chromosome pairs wold not separate correctly. The resulting nuclei would have too few chromosomes.
500
What helps the chromosomes move away from the center and toward the poles?
What are spindles, which are fibers that help the chromosomes move toward opposite sides of the cell
500
What is different about cytokinesis in plant cells?
In plant cells, a cell plate forms. The cell plate become cell membranes that separate the new cells. New cell walls form where the plate was.
