Stages of Cell Cycle
Last phase of interphase.
What is G2?
Long, thin strands used to pull apart chromatids.
What are spindle fibers?
Chromosomes are unwinding and become enclosed in the new nucleus, and the cell begins to divide
What is telophase?
Chromosomes in a cell before mitosis = 46. Chromosomes at end of mitosis in each cell =
What is 46?
The DNA is found here in a cell.
What is the nucleus?
One half of a duplicated chromosome
What is a sister chromatid?
Chromosomes are lined up on the cell's middle
What is metaphase?
A cell will produce how many daughter cells?
What is 2?
The cell cycle results in 2 _________ daughter cells.
What is identical?
The cell grows and carries out normal activities after division has occurred
What is the G1 phase?
Holds two sister chromatids together, in the middle of the chromosomes.
What is a centromere?
The cell's chromosomes become visible, the nuclear membrane disappears, and the centrioles move to opposite sides of the cell
What is prophase?
The s in s phase stands for ________.
What is synthesis?
Which type of cells (prokaryotic or eukaryotic) go through the stages of the cell cycle.
What are eukaryotic?
Become visible during prophase, contain a cell's DNA.
What is a chromosome?
Chromatids are pulled apart and become individual chromosomes
What is anaphase?
The last phase in the cell cycle is ____________?
What is cytokinesis?
Which phase of the cell cycle is the longest?
What is interphase?
Cell cytoplasm divides
What is the cytokinesis?
The molecule on a chromosome that contains the cell's genetic information.
What is DNA?
Spindle fibers appear and attach to centromeres
What is prophase?
List the 4 phases of mitosis in order.
What are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.?
Uncontrolled cell growth of diseased cells is called ___________.
What is cancer?
