Cell Division Flashcards
A chromosome is made up of two identical parts called what?
Chromatids
The two chromatids are held together by what ?
A centromere
DNA is replicated (copied) during what part of the cell cycle?
Interphase
What part of the cell cycle takes the longest amount of time?
Interphase
What are the 4 phases of Mitosis?
PMAT (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase)
During what phase of mitosis do the chromosomes coil and the nuclear membrane starts to break down?
Prophase
During what phase do chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell?
Metaphase
During what phase are the chromosomes pulled apart toward the opposite “poles” of the cell?
Anaphase
During what phase does the nuclear membrane reform and the spindle fibers break apart?
Telophase (Looks like an old time telophone)
What stage of the cell cycle ends with 2 new daughter cells?
Cytokinesis
What types of cells are involved with Mitosis (My toes itch)
Body Cells (somatic cells)
In plant cells , what forms to make the new cell?
A Cell plate
What is the proper order of the cell cycle?
Interphase, Mitosis (PMAT), Cytokinesis
What type of cell is produced by meiosis?
Sex cells (Me-I-o-Sis) (Gametes - Sperm and eggs)
How many divisions occur in Mitosis?
One
