cell division reinforcement
chromosomes are made of _______ wrapped around proteins
DNA
where DNA makes a copy
S; interphase
during this stage of mitosis, chromatids separate and move to opposite sides
anaphase
uncontrolled cell division
cancer
this pair of structures anchors the spindle
centrioles
holds chromosomes together; sister chromatids are held together by
centromeres
a chromosome is made of two identical sister
chromatids
these structures are found in the nucleus of diving cells, they appear X shaped
chromosomes
The process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells is called
cytokinesis
Body cells that contain the full number of chromosomes, 46 in humans, are called
diploid
sex cells that contain only half the number of chromosomes are called
haploid
during this stage of the cell cycle, the cell is copying DNA and performing cell functions
interphase
during this stage of mitosis, chromosomes line up along the equator
metaphase
the process by which the nucleus divides into two new nuclei is called
mitosis
chromosomes are found in the _____ of the cell
nucleus
during this stage of mitosis, DNA condenses and forms chromosomes; where the spindle forms
prophase
during mitosis, this structure moves individual chromosomes
spindle
during this stage of mitosis, the nuclear membrane forms in each new cell; where the cytokinesis begins
telophase
nuclear membrane reforms
telophase
a cell with 14 chromosomes undergoes mitosis but how many are in each daughter cell
14
a cell has 24 chromosomes but how many chromatids?
48
