Mitosis

Question 1

What is Dna

Answer 1

the molecule that transfers hereditary
information from one cell to the next.

Question 2

what does Dna do when a cell is dividing

Answer 2

DNA winds up tightly and forms
chromosomes in the nucleus of the cell.

Question 3

what is a gene

Answer 3

A specific portion of the
DNA code which has genetic
information.

Question 4

Where are genes contained

Answer 4

The chromosome

Question 5

what does a chromosome do before mitosis occurs

Answer 5

it duplicates

Question 6

when does the chromosome condense and shorten

Answer 6

at the start of mitosis

Question 7

what are duplicated chromosomes called

Answer 7

sister chromatid

Question 8

how many chromosomes do humans have

Answer 8

46

Question 9

what are somatic cells

Answer 9

diploids

Question 10

what is a diploid

Answer 10

contains 2 sets of chromosomes

Question 11

what are gamete cells

Answer 11

haploid

Question 12

what is a haploid

Answer 12

a cell with one set of chromosomes

Question 13

what does mitosis produce

Answer 13

2 diploids daughter cells

Question 14

interphase

Answer 14

DNA replicates

Question 15

Prophase

Answer 15

diffuse chromatin
condenses into discrete chromosomes

Question 16

Prometaphase

Answer 16

chromosome
movement toward the “equatorial plane”

Question 17

Metaphase

Answer 17

chromosomes are
lined up at the equatorial plane (also
called the metaphase plate)

Question 18

Anaphase

Answer 18

Sister chromatids
disjoin and migrate to opposite poles.

Question 19

Telophase

Answer 19

chromosomes decondense
and a cleavage furrow begins to form in the
middle of the cell. Finally, the cell divides in
two, this is called cytokinesis.
