Cell Cycle and Mitosis Flashcards
1
Q
What is DNA overload?
A
When a cell becomes too large to divide
2
Q
Prophase
A
Preparation, chromatin becomes chromosomes
3
Q
Metaphase
A
Middle, chromosomes line up in middle
4
Q
Anaphase
A
Away, sister chromatids are pulled apart
5
Q
Telophase
A
two nuclei, chromosomes gather at both ends and create 2 nuclear envelopes
6
Q
What order is the cell cycle in?
A
G1, S, G2, M
7
Q
G1
A
Cell grows
8
Q
S
A
DNA is replicated
9
Q
G2
A
Cell prepares for mitosis
10
Q
Metaphase
A
Stage in which division occurs
11
Q
Put following actions in order
A
Cell is born, DNA replication, prepares for division, Cell divides
12
Q
Interphase
A
Longest phase, contains G1, S and G2
13
Q
Chromatin
A
loosely coiled, found in interphase
14
Q
Chromosome
A
Tightly coiled DNA
15
Q
Two reasons why cells have to divide
A
DNA overload, inefficiency of cell membrane
