Cell Life Cycle And Mitosis

Question 0

Mitosis

Answer 0

Cell division process that occurs in somatic cells (all but sex cells)

Nuclear division

Question 1

Cell cycle

Answer 1

Depicts the steps in the division of a somatic cell; all changes a cell undergoes in structure and function

Question 2

Meiosis

Answer 2

Cell division process that occurs in sex cells

Question 3

Cytokinesis

Answer 3

Division of cytoplasm; contractile ring of microfilament proteins pinch mother cell into 2 separate cells

Cleavage furrow marks place of division

Question 4

Haploid (N)

Answer 4

Unpaired, 1/2 chromosomes (23)

Question 5

Diploid (2N)

Answer 5

23 pairs of chromosomes (homologous) for a total of 46

Question 6

Interphase

Answer 6

Time between cell divisions during which cell maintains itself and carries out normal metabolic activity

Question 7

G1 phase of interphase

Answer 7

Cell grows and produces new organelles; continue usual metabolic activity; structures for DNA replication are formed (centriole pairs)

Question 8

G2 phase of interphase

Answer 8

Centriole replication is completed, organelle production continues, enzymes needed for cell division are synthesized

Question 9

S phase of interphase

Answer 9

46 chromosomes replicated (synthesis)

Question 10

Prophase

Answer 10

Genetic material condenses into chromosomes

Question 11

Metaphase

Answer 11

Line up chromosomes along spindle

Question 12

Anaphase

Answer 12

Pull apart sister chromatids

Question 13

Telophase

Answer 13

Division if cytoplasm (cytokinesis), cleavage furrow forms

By completion of telophase you have two daughter cells
