Mitosis
Name the phases of mitosis in order.
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis
Name the three phases of interphase in order
G1, S, G2
What is the structure of DNA called?
Double helix
Tightly coiled and condensed chromatin
Chromosomes
The final step of cell division where the cytoplasm splits, creating two separate daughter cells.
Cytokinesis
What does the "S" stand for in the S Phase
Synthesis/DNA Synthesis
Interphase - S Phase
The phase of the cell cycle when a cell undergoes division
Mitosis
The phase where the centromeres of the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
Metaphase
S Phase
What are the complementary nucleotides to A and C on DNA?
T and G
The first 90% of the cell cycle when a cell prepares itself to divide
Interphase
The phase where chromatin begins to coil tightly to form chromosomes and a mitotic spindle starts to form from the centrioles
Prophase
The main growth phase of the cell where all vital organelles are duplicated
G1 Phase
What enzyme binds to the unzipped strands of DNA to bring complementary nucleotides to form a new strand of DNA?
DNA Polymerase
The material that makes up a chromosome. It consists of strands of DNA and protein.
Chromatin
The phase where two new nuclear membranes form around two new groups of chromosomes
Telophase
The phase where the "final touches" are added and organelles and proteins that are specific to cell division are created
G2 Phase
Which enzyme binds to the newly formed strands of DNA to signal that DNA replication should stop?
Ligase
When DNA replication occurs, half of the new strands are newly synthesized and half of the new strands are kept from the original. This is called ______________________
