Mitosis and Cytokinesis

Question 1

Characteristic of the cell cycle:

Answer 1

• Interphase (called G1, S, G2)
• the phases of Mitosis (called prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase);
• and plant and animal Cytokinesis.

Question 2

a repeated pattern of growth and division that occurs in eukaryotic cells.

Answer 2

Cell Cycle

Question 3

Where do cells spend the majority of their cell cycle for cell growth?

Answer 3

Interphase

Question 4

It protects DNA and do not include genes.

Answer 4

Telomeres

Question 5

Its purpose is cell division: making two cells out of one.

Answer 5

Mitosis

Question 6

chromosomes condense and spindle fibers form.

Answer 6

Prophase

Question 7

chromosomes condense and spindle fibers form.

Answer 7

Prophase

Question 8

sister chromatids separate to opposite sides of the cell.

Answer 8

Anaphase

Question 9

the new nuclei form and chromosomes begin to uncoil.

Answer 9

Telophase

Question 10

the division of the cytoplasm into two individual cells.

Answer 10

Cytokinesis

Question 11

The number and appearance of chromosomes

Answer 11

Karyotype

Question 12

How does DNA make twins?

Answer 12

You know by now that the DNA replicates itself inside the nucleus. What you don’t know yet is how it makes a copy of itself.
