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 a cell grows

Question 4

Prophase

Answer 4

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

Question 5

Metaphase

Answer 5

the second phase of mitosis 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 opposite sides

Question 7

Telophase

Answer 7

the fourth and final phase of mitosis during which a nuclear membrane forms around chromosomes on opposite sides of the cell and 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 pinched 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 fiber that pulls chromosomes apart

Question 10

Chromosomes

Answer 10

the part of a cell that contains genes

Question 11

DNA

Answer 11

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

Question 12

Centromere

Answer 12

a structure that holds sister chromatids together

Question 13

Sister Chromatids

Answer 13

two identical chromatids that make up a duplicate chromosome

Question 14

Daughter Cell

Answer 14

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