Cell Cycle
In what form is the DNA during interphase?
Chromatin
What happens to the nuclear membrane during prophase?
the nuclear envelope breaks down
What phase of mitosis is metaphase?
phase 2/ second
Where do chromosomes go during anaphase?
they are pulled to opposite ends of the cell
What phase of mitosis is telophase?
phase 4/ last
What are the stages of the cell cycle in order?
Where do centrioles move?
opposite ends of the cell/ the poles of the cell
Is there a nucleus during metaphase
NO
What pulls chromosomes to the opposite ends of the cell?
spindle fibers
How many cells do we have in telophase?
What is the longest part of the cell cycle?
Interphase
Chromatin condenses into what form?
Chromosomes
Spindle fibers attach to
Centromeres
What part of the chromosomes splits/breaks, allowing the chromatids to be pulled apart?
centromere
What is happening at essentially the same time as telophase?
Cytokinesis
What is cytokinesis?
division of the cytoplasm
Spindle fibers extend from where
Where do the chromosomes go?
they line up along the center of the cell
What phase of mitosis is anaphase?
phase 3/ third
How many nuclei do we have in telophase?
Name 3 things that happen during interphase
cell growth, DNA replication, makes more organelles/enzymes
Chromatids are attached together by a
Centromere
How many chromosomes do humans have?
46
What happens to the cell during anaphase?
the cell stretches out
do we have daughter cells at the end of telophase?
no, cytokinesis results in daughter cells
