Mitosis & Asexual Reproduction

Question 0

Mitosis

Answer 0

The division of a parent cell’s nucleus. This is the first stage in cell division

Question 1

Cell division

Answer 1

Process by which a cell divides into two completely identical daughter cells

Question 2

Cytokinesis

Answer 2

This is the division of cytoplasm in a parent cell: second stage in division

Question 3

Interphase

Answer 3

In-between cell division, a period of growth for the cells

Question 4

Cell cycle

Answer 4

The series of stages that cells go through as they perform mitosis, growing and dividing

Question 5

Prophase

Answer 5

The first and longest stage of mitosis. The chromosomes being produced are finally visible and double, centrioles move and make the spindle, and the nuclear envelope disappears

Question 6

Metaphase

Answer 6

Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell

Question 7

Anaphase

Answer 7

Sister chromatids move away from each other

Question 8

Telophase

Answer 8

Chromosomes lose shape, cell membrane pinches in, nuclear envelope re-forms

Question 9

Chromosomes

Answer 9

Visible genetic material. Paired chromatids

Question 10

Sister chromatids

Answer 10

2 identical connected strands of a chromosome

Question 11

Chromatin

Answer 11

Thin, unorganized genetic material

Ex, like spaghetti

Question 12

Cancer

Answer 12

Uncontrollable cell growth. Does not respond to normal growth regulation signals

Question 13

Asexual reproduction

Answer 13

Process by which a single parent reproduces by itself

Question 14

DNA replication

Answer 14

Process by which DNA copies itself

Question 15

Budding

Answer 15

Process of asexual reproduction where the parent cell divides itself equally

Question 16

Regeneration

Answer 16

Process of cell division where an organism re grows an entire body part
