Mitosis

The stage of the cell cycle when: - cell grows - makes copies of its DNA - and gets ready for the next stage

interphase

Name the phase of mitosis: 2nd phase of Mitosis sister chromatids line up in the middle of the cell

metaphase

When the cell's nucleus divides

mitosis

True/False Chromosomes are pulled apart during anaphase.

true

True/False The cell's chromatin condenses (shortens) during prophase

true

True/False The centrioles move to the poles of the cell during prophase.

true

True/False The nuclear membrane goes away during prophase.

true

True/False The shortest stage of mitosis is metaphase.

true

True/False The spindle fibers move chromatids to the poles of the cell during anaphase.

true

End result of mitosis?

2 genetically identical daughter cells

Structures that contain the genetic material that is passed from one generation of cells to the next

Chromosomes

46 is the _____.

Number of chromosomes in most cells.

Interphase, Mitosis and Cytokinesis are three parts of the _____.

What phase of Mitosis is this?

metaphase

What phase of Mitosis is this?

telophase

What phase of Mitosis is this?

These are the 3 stages of Interphase.

a.G1 b. S C. G2

Name the phase of Mitosis: 3rd phase of Mitosis Chromatids are pulled apart by the spindle fibers Spindle fibers shorten

anaphase

The way cells reproduce by a cycle of growing and dividing

cell cycle

A structure found at the center of a chromosome; holds the sister chromatids together

centromere

A relaxed form of DNA

chromatin

When a cell's cytoplasm divides, creating two (2) new cells

cytokinesis

True/False The nuclear envelope comes back during metaphase.

false (Telophase

True/False Chromosomes reach the poles of the cell during metaphase.

false (anaphase)

True/False Chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers and line up along the middle of the cell during anaphase.

false (metaphase)

True/False The first stage of mitosis is telophase.

false (prophase)

True/False The chromosomes relax or unwind during prophase.

false (telophase

True/False The nucleus comes back during prophase.

false (telophase)

Longest and first phase of Mitosis

prophase

Half of a chromosome

sister chromatid

Name the phase of Mitosis: 4th phase of Mitosis Chromosomes arrive at opposite ends of cell and begin to relax Nuclear envelope comes back

telophase
