mitosis

Question 1

whats the cell cycle

Answer 1

the series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide

Question 2

what is interphase

Answer 2

the period of growth that occurs betwen cell division. it has three phases: the g1, S and g2 phase

Question 3

whats the g1 phase

Answer 3

the period of activity where cells do most of their growing. they increase in size and synthesize new organelles and proteins

Question 4

whats the S phase

Answer 4

cell chromosomes are replicated and dna molecules are synthesized.

Question 5

whats the g2 phase

Answer 5

may of the organelles and molecules needed for cell divison are produced during this phase.

Question 6

what are the phases of mitosis

Answer 6

PMAT: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase

Question 7

what happens during prophase for mitosis

Answer 7

chromatins condense into chromosomes, centrioles seperate, a spindle forms and the nuclear envelope breaks down

Question 8

what happens during metaphase

Answer 8

chrosomomes line up across the center of the cell, each connected to a spindle fiber at its centromere

Question 9

what happens during anaphase

Answer 9

sister chromatids seperate into individual chromosomes and move apart

Question 10

what happens during telophase

Answer 10

chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and lose their distinct shape, two new nuclear envelope form.

Question 11

what happens during cytokinesis

Answer 11

cytoplasm pinches in half, each daughter cell has an identical set of duplicate chromosomes
