Mitosis

Question 1

Prophase

Answer 1

The first phase. Chromosomes are condensed. The chromosomes are visible. Spindle fibers begin to form. Mitotic spindle. Nuclear Envelope breaks down.

Question 2

Metaphase

Answer 2

The second phase. Chromosomes are pulled to the center line up on the metaphase plate; imaginary line. Spindle fibers attach to the centromeres.

Question 3

Anaphase

Answer 3

Third phase. Centromeres divide. Spindle fibers pull the sister chromatids apart taking them to the separate poles. They are now 2 daughter chromosomes.

Question 4

Telophase

Answer 4

Fourth and final phase. Nuclear envelope forms. Chromosomes divide to form 2 cells. Spindle fibers disassemble. Cytokinesis begins.

Question 5

Cytokinesis

Answer 5

The division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells immediately after mitosis, meiosis I, or meiosis II.

Question 6

Sister Chromatids

Answer 6

Two copies of a duplicated chromosome attached to each other by proteis at the centromere and sometimes, along the arms. While joined, two sister chromatids make up one chromosome. Chromatids are eventually separated during mitosis or meiosis II.

Question 7

Interphase

Answer 7

The period in the cell cycle when the cell is not dividing. During interphase, cellular metabolic activity is high, chromosomes and organelles are duplicated, and cell size may increase. Interphase often accounts for about 90% of the cell cycle.

Question 8

asexual reproduction

Answer 8

One parent. Creates genetically identical duplicates.

Question 9

Sexual reproduction

Answer 9

Two parents. Combination of genetic material.

Question 10

Mitotic Phase

Answer 10

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Question 11

G1

Answer 11

First Growth phase takes 9 hours

Question 12

S (synthesis)

Answer 12

Chromosome replication occurs in nucleus takes approximately 10 hours

Question 13

G2 (gap 2)

Answer 13

Second Growth Phase cell synthesize organelles and other material takes 2 hours.
