Mitosis- Cell Cycle

Question 1

Mitosis occurs in …..?

Answer 1

All living things

Question 2

Mitosis

Answer 2

The process by which a cell divides to create 2 new identical cells

Question 3

Purpose of mitosis

Answer 3

1. Growth and development

2. Repair and replace cells

Question 4

Frequency of dividing depends on….

Answer 4

1. Age of organism
2. Type of cell
3. What the organism is eating

Question 5

All living things have…?

Answer 5

Chromosomes

Question 6

What is a chromosome number?

Answer 6

The unique number of chromosomes a certain species has in its cells

Question 7

How many chromosomes do humans have?

Answer 7

46

23 pairs

Question 8

What are daughter cells

Answer 8

The 2 new identical cells

Question 9

Interphase

Answer 9

Resting stage where cell grows and replicates DNA
CENTRIOLES DUPLICATE THEMSELVES
Chromosomes are thread like

Question 10

Where do sister chromatids connect?

Answer 10

At the centromere

Question 11

Prophase

Answer 11

First stage of mitosis
• centrioles move to opposite ends
• spindle fibres( protein threads) form

Question 12

Metaphase

Answer 12

Chromatids attach to spindle fibres

Chromatids line up at equator

Question 13

Anaphase

Answer 13

Chromatids split and move to opposite ends

Question 14

Telophase

Answer 14

2 new nuclei form
Chromosomes become thread like again
2 new daughter cells
Membrane starts to form

Question 15

Cytokinesis

Answer 15

Not really a stage
Splitting of cytoplasm
In plants a cell well forms in animals cell membrane is formed
