The Cell Cycle Flashcards
1
Q
during which stage of the cell cycle do the replicated chromosomes thicken and become visible?
A
prophase
2
Q
during which phase of a cell’s cycle do the replicated chromosomes line up on the equator of the cell?
A
metaphase
3
Q
during which phase of a cell’s cycle do the chromosomes replicate?
A
interphase
4
Q
give two processes which occur during interphase and which are necessary for mitosis to take place
A
growth of the cell and replication of the DNA
5
Q
interphase
A
chromosomes are copied
6
Q
prophase
A
mitosis begins; centrioles appear and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell; spindle fibers form between poles
7
Q
metaphase
A
chromatids (pairs of chromosomes) attach to the spindle fibers
8
Q
anaphase
A
chromatids separate and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell
