Mitosis

Question 1

Mitosis Definition

Answer 1

the process by which eukaryotic cell division occurs, a mother cell forms two daughter cells

Question 2

What happens to organelles and cytoplasmic components during mitosis?

Answer 2

they are replicated during G1-G2

Question 3

Gₒ phase

Answer 3

the phase at which a cell exists outside of its reproductive cycle

Question 4

M phase

Answer 4

Mitosis

Question 5

Interphase

Answer 5

G1, S, and G2

Question 6

G phases

Answer 6

growth phases

Question 7

S phase

Answer 7

DNA synthesis

Question 8

Is a zygote diploid or haploid?

Answer 8

diploid

Question 9

Are gametes diploid or haploid?

Answer 9

haploid

Question 10

4 Phases of Mitosis

Answer 10

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase

Question 11

Prophase

Answer 11

condensation of DNA after replication, chromatids join at centromeres, and the nuclear envelope disassociates

Question 12

Homologous Chromosomes

Answer 12

same chromosome (two chromatids) from mom and dad, same genes different alleles

Question 13

Sister Chromatids

Answer 13

identically replicated chromosomes, same genes same alleles

Question 14

Prometaphase

Answer 14

the nuclear envelope is completely removed

Question 15

Metaphase

Answer 15

the longest stage in which chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate and spindle fibers attach to the kinetochores

Question 16

Kinetochore

Answer 16

two attached centromeres

Question 17

Anaphase

Answer 17

The fibers separate the chromatids into single chromosomes, dissolving the kinetochore

Question 18

Telophase

Answer 18

chromosomes pulled to opposite poles, decondense and form a two new, identical nuclei

Question 19

Cytokenesis

Answer 19

division of the cytoplasm which occurs after mitosis

Question 20

Karyokinesis

Answer 20

division of chromosomes; the process of mitosis and is completed once two nuclei are formed
