3.7-mitosis

Question 1

Answer 1

growth, repair, reproduction

Question 2

3 stages of the cell cycle

Answer 2

interphase, mitosis, cytokenisis

Question 3

stages of mitosis

Answer 3

IPMAT
interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

Question 4

Prophase

Answer 4

DNA condenses and coils, nuclear envelope breaks down, centrioles move to opposite poles

Question 5

Metaphase

Answer 5

Spindle fibres attatch to centromeres and chromosomes line at equator

Question 6

Anaphase

Answer 6

Centrometers divides, chromatids move to opposite poles

Question 7

Telophase

Answer 7

Chromosomes uncoil, nuclear envelope reforms

Question 8

how does cell division take place in prokaryotic cells?

Answer 8

binary fission

Question 9

describe binary fission

Answer 9

1) DNA replicates + plasmids, both copies attach to cell membrane
2) cytoplasmic membrane elongates, separating DNA molecules
3)cytoplasm divides
4)new cell forms between 2 molecules, dividing the original cell into 2 identical daughter cells
