The control center of a cell
Nucleus
The division of the cytoplasm of the cell during cell division is referred to as_____________.
Cytokinesis
What occurrence within the cell does the cell cycle represent?
Cell division
List the phases of cell division in order.
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
True or False: Cytokinesis is included in the phases of mitosis.
False
What is the longest phase in the cell cycle?
What is the longest phase in the cell cycle?
What is the end result of cytokinesis?
Two identical daughter cells
What is the importance of the cell cycle to multicellular organisms with respect to tissue repair?
The cell cycle replaces damaged, worn, and aging cells
At which phase do the chromosomes become visible in the cell?
Prophase
True or False: Interphase is not included in the phases of mitosis.
True
The cell cycle results in two genetically _________ cells.
Identical
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.
The cell cycle state where the cell grows to its full size, copies the DNA and organelles and prepares to divide is called the ________________.
Interphase
In which phase do the nuclear envelopes reform around the separated chromosomes?
Telophase
What type of reproduction is occurring during mitosis?
Asexual
The two cell parts found in a plant cell, but are NOT found in an animal cell.
What is cell wall and chloroplast?
The pinching apart of the cytoplasm in an animal cell creates a ___________.
Cleavage furrow
Holds two sister chromatids together
What is a centromere?
At what phase in cell division do the spindle fibers pull the chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell?
Anaphase
List the phases of mitosis in order.
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
The tough, nonliving, outer layer of each plant cell, it gives the cell shape, strength, and support.
What is cell wall?
In plant cells, a _______________ is built between the two daughter cells as they pull apart during cytokinesis.
Cell plate
Nuclei if cell doesn't finish cytokinesis?
What is 2?
Spindle fibers attach to the centromeres and chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell during this phase of cell division.
Metaphase
