What is the longest phase in the cell cycle?

Interphase

100
How many cells does cytokinesis end with?

Two identical daughter cells

100

What phase do chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?

Metaphase

100

What is the first phase of mitosis?

Prophase

100

What is the full name of DNA?

Deoxyribonucleic acid

200

What happens to the nuclear membrane during prophase?

It dissolves, freeing the chromosomes

200

What is the significance of the centromere?

It is the point where sister chromatids are attached.

200

What happens to DNA during prophase?

It condenses and becomes visible

200

Which two cells represents anaphase?

7 and 9

200

What makes up the backbone of a DNA molecule?

Deoxyribose sugar and phosphate

300

How many chromosomes does a healthy human have?

46

300

How many pairs of chromosomes does a healthy human have?

23

300

What are the stages of mitosis?

Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase

300

What stage is this cell? 

Anaphase- sister chromatids pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell

300

The rungs of the DNA "ladder" are made up of?

Nitrogen base pairs

400

What process MUST take place before mitosis can occur properly?

DNA replication

400

What stage is this cell?

Interphase

400

What forms in a plant cell during telophase?

Cell Plate (beginnings of a cell wall)

400

Why is it important that DNA is replicated during interphase?

Replication is important so that the daughter cell has the correct amount of DNA.

400

What is the complimentary strand to the following:  TACGCTAG

ATGCGATC

500

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

500

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

500

Why is the cell cycle important?

Because living organisms need to grow, develop, and replace damaged cells.

500

What structure plays a role in cell division but is only found in animal cells? (Hint: holds spindle fibers)

Centriole

500

During the cell cycle, DNA is coiled into chromatin, which forms_____________.

Chromosomes
