Mitosis nd Asexual Repro. Vocab.

Question 0

Mitosis

Answer 0

When the mother cells’ nucleus divides.

The first stage of cell division

Question 1

Cell Division

Answer 1

When a cell divides into two smaller, equal versions known as daughter cells.

Question 2

Cytokinesis

Answer 2

When the cytoplasm divides.

The seconds phase of cell division

Question 3

Interphase

Answer 3

In-between cell division. A period of growth.

Question 4

Cell cycle

Answer 4

Series of events that cells go through as they grow. (IPMAT)

Question 5

Prophase

Answer 5

First and longest phase of mitosis, the chromosomes of the cell becomes visible and double, centrioles move and make up the spindle. The nuclear envelope disappears

Question 6

Metaphase

Answer 6

Chromosomes line up at the middle of the cell

M=Middle

Question 7

Anaphase

Answer 7

Sister chromatids move away from each other

Question 8

Telophase

Answer 8

Chromosomes lose shape, cell membrane pinches in and the nuclear envelope reforms. The cell looks like a peanut.

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

Question 12

Cancer

Answer 12

Uncontrolled 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 identically.

Question 15

Budding

Answer 15

Process of asexual reproduction where the parent cell divides itself disproportionately

Question 16

Binary fission

Answer 16

Process of asexual reproduction where the parent cell divides itself evenly

Question 17

Regeneration

Answer 17

Process of cell division where an organism regrows an entire body part. Think starfish.
