Science-Cell Division Flashcards
The regular sequence of growth and division that cells undergo
Cell cycle
I am the process of copying DNA
Replication
I result in 4 genetically different daughter cells
Meiosis
I result in 2 identical daughter cells
Mitosis
Cells spend 90% of the lifetime in this phase
Interphase
I am the 1st stage of the cell cycle
Interphase
I am the type of cell division body cells go through
Mitosis
I am the period before cell division
Interphase
I am the type of cell division that sex cells go through
Meiosis
I am the phase that chromosomes pair up
Prophase
I am the stage during which the cell’s nucleus divides into 2 nuclei, creating 2 identical cells
Mitosis
I am the number of chromosomes the human body has
46
I am the number of pairs of chromosomes in the human body
23
I am the phase where you start to see chromosomes form
Prophase
I am the phase where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
Metaphase
