What is the longest phase in the cell cycle?
Interphase
Two identical daughter cells
What phase do chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?
Metaphase
What is the first phase of mitosis?
Prophase
What is the full name of DNA?
Deoxyribonucleic acid
What happens to the nuclear membrane during prophase?
It dissolves, freeing the chromosomes
What is the significance of the centromere?
It is the point where sister chromatids are attached.
What happens to DNA during prophase?
It condenses and becomes visible
Which two cells represents anaphase?
7 and 9
What makes up the backbone of a DNA molecule?
Deoxyribose sugar and phosphate
How many chromosomes does a healthy human have?
46
How many pairs of chromosomes does a healthy human have?
23
What are the stages of mitosis?
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
What stage is this cell? 
Anaphase- sister chromatids pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell
The rungs of the DNA "ladder" are made up of?
Nitrogen base pairs
What process MUST take place before mitosis can occur properly?
DNA replication
What stage is this cell?
Interphase
What forms in a plant cell during telophase?
Cell Plate (beginnings of a cell wall)
Why is it important that DNA is replicated during interphase?
Replication is important so that the daughter cell has the correct amount of DNA.
What is the complimentary strand to the following: TACGCTAG
ATGCGATC
If a cell has 46 chromosomes in G1 (normal cell), how many chromosomes will it have after cytokinesis?
46, cell division ends with two identical daughter cells
Place these in correct sequence
A-Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
B- DNA condenses into chromosomes
C-Sister chromatids move to opposite sides of the cell
B, A, C
Why is the cell cycle important?
Because living organisms need to grow, develop, and replace damaged cells.
What structure plays a role in cell division but is only found in animal cells? (Hint: holds spindle fibers)
Centriole
During the cell cycle, DNA is coiled into chromatin, which forms_____________.
Chromosomes
