Cellular growth and development

Question 1

Prophase

Answer 1

genetic material inside nucleus condenses and the nuclear envelope disintegrates, starting off cell division.

Question 2

Metaphase

Answer 2

Centromeres of duplicated chromosomes line up across center of cell.

Question 3

Anaphase

Answer 3

Chromatids begin to separate and move apart to the opposite sides of the cell.

Question 4

Telophase

Answer 4

Chromosomes no longer condenses and nuclear envelope reforms.

Question 5

Cytokinesis

Answer 5

Division of the cytoplasm to form two separate cells.

Question 6

Centromere

Answer 6

Region of a chromosome where the two sister chromatids attach.

Question 7

Chromosome

Answer 7

Threadlike package of DNA

Question 8

Diploid cell

Answer 8

A cell with two complete sets of chromosomes.

Question 9

Interphase

Answer 9

Resting and growth phase
- DNA replicated before cell division.

Question 10

DNA Replication

Answer 10

The process of making two identical copies of a cell’s DNA.

Question 11

Mitosis

Answer 11

Cell nucleus and cell nuclear material divide, the process by which a cell divides into two smaller cells.

Question 12

Somatic cells

Answer 12

Any cell of a living organism other than the reproductive cells.

Question 13

Chromatid

Answer 13

Two identical parts of a duplicated chromosome.
