Question 1

cycle of cell’s growth, development and division

Answer 1

cell cycle

Question 2

part of the cell cycle when the cell grows and develops

Answer 2

interphase

Question 3

three stages of interphase

Answer 3

G1, S, G2

Question 4

phase of rapid growth and organelles replicate

Answer 4

G1

Question 5

DNA replicates

Answer 5

S

Question 6

cell prepares for cell division

Answer 6

G2

Question 7

two MAIN phases of the cell cycle

Answer 7

interphase and mitotic phase

Question 8

two stages of mitotic phase

Answer 8

mitosis and cytokinesis

Question 9

when a cell’s nucleus divides

Answer 9

mitosis

Question 10

when a cell’s cytoplasm divides

Answer 10

cytokinesis

Question 11

four stages of mitosis

Answer 11

prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

Question 12

three things that happen during prophase

Answer 12

DNA condenses into chromosomes; nuclear membrane breaks down; spindle forms

Question 13

what happens during metaphase

Answer 13

chromosomes line up along the center of the cell

Question 14

three things that happen during anaphase

Answer 14

sister chromatids separate; spindle fibers shorten; cell gets longer

Question 15

four things that happen during telophase

Answer 15

nuclear membrane forms; chromosomes unwind; spindle breaks down; two identical nuclei form

Question 16

long, thin strands of DNA

Answer 16

chromatin

Question 17

identical, make up two halves of a duplicated chromosome

Answer 17

sister chromatids

Question 18

holds sister chromatids together

Answer 18

centromere

Question 19

the two new cells formed by mitosis and cytokinesis

Answer 19

daughter cells

Question 20

fibers create a furrow in the middle of a cell - this happens in ___ cells

Answer 20

animal cells

Question 21

vesicles form the cell plate, which grows into a new cell wall - this happens in ___ cells

Answer 21

plant cells

Question 22

four reasons why a cell might divide

Answer 22

reproduction, growth, replacement, repair

Question 23

what is the longest phase of the cell cycle?

Answer 23

interphase, specifically G1
