Practice: Cell Cycle

How many daughter cells result from this process?

2

In what stage of the cell cycle do chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?

Metaphase

What types of cells go through this process? What cells do not go through this process?

Only body cells go through this process. Sex cells (egg and sperm) don't

In what stage of the cell cycle will cytokinesis begin?

Telophase (or the end result)

When does the nuclear membrane dissolve? When does it reform?

dissolves in prophase and reforms in telophase

If a dog has 72 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have?

each daughter cell will have 72 chromosomes

In what stage of the cell cycle do chromosomes make identical copies of themselves?

interphase

What is the order of the cell cycle?

interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis

What are the chromosomes called when they look like Xs?

sister chromatids

What moves the chromatids around during cell division? What organelle anchors these?

spindle fibers move chromatids around during cell division and centrioles anchor them.

What part of the chromosomes do the spindle fibers attach to in order to move the chromosomes around?

the centromeres on both sides of each sister cell
