cell cycle and cellular reproduction

Question 1

the cell cycle:

Answer 1

G1-growth
S-DNA synthesis
G2- growth and prep for mitosis
M- mitosis (cell division)

Question 2

interphase

Answer 2

This is the time when a cell performs its usual functions depending on its location in the body; most of the cells time is spent in interphase

Question 3

M (mitotic) stage

Answer 3

Following interphase the cell divides via mitosis (nuclear division) and cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm)

Question 4

what controls the cell cycle?

Answer 4

a signal and growth factors

Question 5

prophase

Answer 5

Chromatin has condensed and the chromosomes are visible

Question 6

Prometaphase

Answer 6

Extra modern step where kinetochores appear on the side of centromeres

Question 7

metaphase

Answer 7

Centromeres of the chromosomes are now aligned in the center of the cell; this is called the metaphase plate

Question 8

anaphase

Answer 8

The two sister chromatids of each duplicated chromosome separate at the centromere and
pull to opposite ends of the cells

Question 9

telophase

Answer 9

The spindle fibers disappear and
a cleavage furrow forms
* Nuclear envelope starts to
reform
* When finally split we call this
cytokinesis

Question 10

functions of mitosis

Answer 10

growth and repair
