mitosis

Question 1

cell cycle

Answer 1

when cells in an organism go through a cycle of growth, development, and division

Question 2

mitosis

Answer 2

the process by which a parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells

Question 3

interphase

Answer 3

the stage of the cell cycle between periods of mitosis in which the cell grows

Question 4

prophase

Answer 4

the first phase of mitosis during chromosomes condense and the nuclear membrane starts to disappear

Question 5

metaphase

Answer 5

the second phase during which chromosomes line up along the center of the cell

Question 6

anaphase

Answer 6

the third phase of mitosis during which each chromosome is pulled apart by spindle fibers and the resulting daughter chromosomes are pulled to the opposite sides of the cell

Question 7

telegraphese

Answer 7

fourth and final phase of mitosis during which a nuclear membrane forms around chromosomes on opposite sides of the cell ans the chromosomes become unwound DNA in a newly formed nucleus

Question 8

cytokinesis

Answer 8

a stage of the cell cycle during which the cell membrane pitched in and the cytoplasm divides into two daughter cells after mitosis

Question 9

centriole

Answer 9

an organelle found near the nucleus in animal cells that forms the spindle fibers that pull chromosomes apart during mitosis

Question 10

chromosome

Answer 10

the part of the ell that contains genes

Question 11

DNA

Answer 11

the chemical found in cells that is the main component of chromosomes and carries genetic information

Question 12

centromere

Answer 12

a structure that holds the sister chromatids together

Question 13

sister chromatids

Answer 13

two identical chromatids that make up a duplicated chromosome

Question 14

daughter cell

Answer 14

the result of the cell cycle where two genetically identical cells are formed
