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?

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
