4.2 - asexual reproduction and mitosis

Question 1

3 parts of cell cycle

Answer 1

interphase
mitosis
cytokinesis

Question 2

interphase desc

Answer 2

interphase involves cell growth
dna replication to prepare for mitosis
most of the cells time is spent here

Question 3

mitosis desc

Answer 3

the stage of the cell cycle during which the genetic material in the nucleus divides to produce two new nuclei

Question 4

PMAT

Answer 4

prophase metaphase anaphase telophase

Question 5

prophase

Answer 5

chromosomes thicken and become visible
nuclear membrane dissolves
spindle fibres form

Question 6

metaphase

Answer 6

chromosomes line up in middle of the cell
spindle fibres prepare to pull the chromatids apart

Question 7

anaphase

Answer 7

chromosomes are pulled apart by the spindle fibres
separate parts are called chromatids

Question 8

telophase

Answer 8

sister chromatids are pulled to opposite ends
a nuclear membrane begins to form

Question 9

cytokinesis desc

Answer 9

splitting of the cytoplasm to produce 2 new daughter cells
