What is interphase?

 phase of the cell cycle where the cell will spend most of its life.

100

What happens in the prophase in mitosis?

Chromosomes become visible, the nucleus disappears, the mitotic spindle forms and the nuclear envelope disappears.

100

What happens in metaphase 2 during meiosis ?

The chromosomes become arranged on the metaphase plate.

100

What does Anaphase mean according to cell biology?

It means when the chromosomes separate and start to move towards the opposite poles of the cell, as a result of the action of the spindle.

100
What happens in cytokinesis?
The cell membrane move inward to create two daughter cells each having its own nucleus with identical chromosomes.
200

What happens during interphase?

The cell copies its DNA 

200

When does cell division begin in mitosis?

Prophase

200

Is metaphase 2 haploid or diploid?

Haploid 

200
What happens in anaphase 2?
The sister chromatids separates and now-daughter chromosomes move to the opposite pole of the cell.
200
When does Cytokinesis occur?
After mitosis.
300

How many cells are there left at the end of a cell cycle?

23 pairs of chromosomes, 46 total

300

 What type of cell does meiosis produce?

Gametes

300
What happens to the chromosome number during meiosis?
It reduces
300
the time between cell division in the life cycle of the cell is called?
interphase
300
how does meiosis differ from mitosis?
meiosis produces 4 genetically different haploid cells. Mitosis produces 2 genetically identical diploid cells.
400

What is called a specialized cell involved in sexual reproduction ?


gamete

400

what are called the longest part of cell division?


Interphase


400

plant cells divide by building a new _____ _____ inside the cell


cell wall



400

how many divisions has meiosis ?


2
400

Meiosis:

 has more steps than mitosis 


is just backwards compared to mitosis 


is shorter version of mitosis



has more steps than mitosis 

500

What happens during S phase in the interphase cycle?

Damage to DNA is detected and fixed during S-phase.

500

which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes line up in the middle of the dividing cells?

Metaphase

500

phase of mitosis where nuclear membrane reforms and the spindle fibers disappear

Telophase
500

A protein called p53 can keep cells from dividing. To prevent cell division, this protein most likely stops what?

Mitosis
500

When the DNA in a cell is uncoiled and spread throughout the nucleus it is called?

Chromatin
