Question 1

uncoiled DNA strands

Answer 1

Chromatin

DNA- containing structure that carries genetic material from one generation to another (supercoiled)

Answer 2

Chromosome

Question 3

Stage of a cell cycle during which the cell’s cytoplasm divides, creating two daughter cells

Answer 3

cytokinesis

Question 4

stage of the cell cycle during which a cell grows, matures, and replicates its DNA

Answer 4

Interphase

Question 5

third stage of mitosis in which sister chromatids are pulled apart and microtubules move the chromosomes to opposite poles of the cells

Answer 5

Anaphase

Question 6

cell structure that joins two sister chromatids

Answer 6

centromere

Question 7

stage of mitosis in which motor proteins move sister chromatids to the cell’s equator

Answer 7

Metaphase

Question 8

the first stage of mitosis, during which the cell’s chromatin condenses into chromosomes.

Answer 8

Prophase

Question 9

the structure that contains identical DNA copies and is formed during DNA replication

Answer 9

Sister chromatid

Question 10

last stage of mitosis in which nucleoli reappear. Two new nuclear membranes begin to form, but the cell has not yet completely divided.

Answer 10

Telophase

Question 11

in interphase - the cell grows rapidly ad performs regular cell functions.

Answer 11

Growth 1 (G1)

Question 12

The “synthesis” phase of the cell cycle; is the portion of the interphase during which DNA is replicated. (doubles each chromosome)

Answer 12

S phase

Question 13

Enzymes made to prepare for Mitosis

Answer 13

Growth 2 (G2)

Question 14

1. the chromosomes condense and become visible
2. nuclear envelope disappears.
3. centrioles move to opposite poles.
4. Spindle fibers form

Answer 14

Prophase

Question 15

1. Second phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell.
2. Spinde attach to the sister chromatids from opposite poles

Answer 15

Metaphase

Question 16

1. Third phase of mitosis in which sister chromatids are pulled to the opposite side of the cell.
2. Spindle fibers shorten

Answer 16

Anaphase

Question 17

1. Chromosomes unwind
2. Spindle fibers disappear
3. Nuclear envelope reappears
4. Cleavage furrow or cell plate is present.

Answer 17

Telophase

Question 18

Bodies of tightly coiled chromatin; are visible during cell division. Two chromatids bound at a centromere, make a CHROMOSOME.

Answer 18

Chromatids

Question 19

Special strands of microtubules which grow out of the centrioles, connect to chromosomes at te centromeres and pull them apart during (the anaphase) of mitosis.

Answer 19

Spindle Fibers

Question 20

Answer 20

replaces damaged or lost cells; allows for growth
