Cell Division
Cytokinesis
100

When a cell goes through the cell cycle what is the end result?

The cell divides and produces two cells ("daughter cells")

100
How many phases make up mitosis?
4
100

During the cell cycle, what percent of the time is a cell in Interphase?

90%

100

List the phases of mitosis in order.

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

100

True or false:  Cytokinesis includes the division of the DNA.

False (this happens during mitosis) 

200

What is the longest phase in the cell cycle?

Interphase

200
True or False: Cytokinesis is included in the phases of mitosis.
False
200

Is the DNA visible as chromosomes during interphase?

No (it is still Chromatin, the chromosomes have not yet formed)

200
At which phase do the chromosomes become visible in the cell?
Prophase
200
What is the end result of cytokinesis?
Two identical daughter cells
300

The cell cycle results in two genetically _________ cells.

Identical

300
True or False: Interphase is not included in the phases of mitosis.
True
300

Is the nuclear membrane still present during interphase?

Yes

300

In which phase do the 2 new nuclear envelopes form around the separated chromosomes?

Telophase

300
True or False: Cytokinesis is the division of the cell nucleus.
False. Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm. Mitosis is the division of the nucleus.
400

During ________________, the cell grows to its full size, copies the DNA and organelles, and prepares to divide.

Interphase

400

How many cells are produced with each cell cycle (after mitosis & cytokinesis)?

Two

400

During interphase, _______ is duplicated.

DNA

400
At what phase in cell division do the spindle fibers pull the chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell?
Anaphase
400

Does the cell get pinched in, in both animal and plant cells during cytokinesis?

No, just in animal cells

500

Why is the cell cycle important for multicellular organisms?

The cell cycle allows for growth, tissue regeneration and cell replacement.

500

If a cell has 30 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have after completing the cell cycle? 

30 chromosomes

500
List the three parts of interphase in order.
G1, S, G2
500

Spindle fibers attach to the centromeres and the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell during this phase of mitosis.

Metaphase

500

In plant cells, a _______________ is built between the two daughter cells as they pull apart during cytokinesis.

Cell plate (cell wall)
