mitosis

Question 1

mitosis

Answer 1

asexual cell division

Question 2

cell cycle

Answer 2

the process of a cell dividing into two identical ones

Question 3

what happens during interphase?

Answer 3

the longest part of the phase of mitosis
during this process the DNA is replicating

G1 - cell grows
S - DNA replicated (copy)
G2 - The growth/proteins and organelles are being made

Question 4

prophase

Answer 4

Double chromosomes become visible (sister)
-two chromosomes connected by a centromere
-nuclear membrane dissapears
-spindles start forming and attatched to centrioles

Question 5

metaphase

Answer 5

3rd phase where spindle is fully formed and chromosomes are lined up in a row at the Equatorial Plane (middle)

Question 6

anaphase

Answer 6

4th stage where the double chromosomes start seperating apart and pulled towards the poles

Question 7

telophase

Answer 7

final stage of mitosis where chromosomes reach poles

Question 8

cytokinesis

Answer 8

after mitosis, not a phase. completed cell division dividing the cytoplasm

Question 9

goal of mitosis

Answer 9

cells in a nucleus divide into daughter cells (identical cells)

Question 10

binary fusion

Answer 10

parent organism divided into two equal parts, with the same parent ex: (bacteria)

Question 11

budding

Answer 11

parent organism divided into two unequal parts ex: (hydra, yeast, sponges)

Question 12

sporulation

Answer 12

(spitting) when an organism releases large number of small single cells and germinates to form new individuals ex (mold, fungi, algae

Question 13

vegetative propagation

Answer 13

when a plant reproduces asexually with the use of bulbs, tubers, runners, and rhizomes or artificially through graphing,atting)

Question 14

regeneration

Answer 14

the ability of an organism to regrow its losts body parts (lizards, starfish,)
