Cell Cycle, Mitosis and Cell Specialization

Question 1

What is prophase

Answer 1

Second step of cell cycle. The nuclear membrane breaks down the chromatin condenses

Question 2

What is metaphase

Answer 2

Third step of cell cycle. Chromatic condenses and forms chromosomes, chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate

Question 3

Anaphase

Answer 3

Fourth step of cell cycle. Chromosome break at centromeres, sister chromatids move to opposite direction of the cell

Question 4

Telophase

Answer 4

Fifth step of cell cycle. Chromosomes assemble on opposite sides of the cell new nuclear membrane forms around the chromosomes

Question 5

Cytokinesis

Answer 5

Sixth step of cell cycle Cleavage forms the cell separate into two daughter cells

Question 6

Name 5 specialized cells

Answer 6

Nerve cells, connective cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, fat cells, epithelial cells, bone cells, sperm cells, skin cells, muscle cells, stem cells.

Question 7

What is cell specialization?

Answer 7

Involves a change in form or function. The DNA in every cell is identical and complete; different genes are expressed to have specific cellular functions. Cells can look different different ternal he or externally but carry the same DNA always.

Question 8

What is Interphase?

Answer 8

The longest cycle of a cells life it is where functions other than replication place
