The Cell Cycle (Lab 7)
Which of the following is not part of interphase? A) cytokinesis B) first gap phase C) second gap phase D) synthesis phase
A
chromosome
A doubled rod of condensed chromatin; contains DNA that carries genetic information
mitosis
A process that takes place in the nucleus of a dividing cell, involves a series of steps, and results in the formation of two new nuclei each having the same number of chromosomes as the parent nucleus. Asexual reproduction
telophase
After the chromosome seperates, the cell seals off, Final Phase of Mitosis.
cell cycle
An ordered sequence of events in the life of a eukaryotic cell, from its origin in the division of a parent cell until its own division into two.
centromere
Area where the chromatids of a chromosome are attached
A cell in the stage of G-zero A) divides continuously. B) ceases cell division. C) exhibits cytokinesis. D) exists in a gap phase
B
A karyotype is the diagnosis of centrioles and spindle fibers. A) True B) False
B
Daughter cells are formed from cell cycles. A) True B) False
B
Sister chromatids separate to opposite poles during A) telophase. B) anaphase. C) prophase. D) metaphase.
B
Which of the following events occurs during telophase? A) sister chromatids separate B) chromosomes align along equator C) cytokinesis D) spindle apparatus forms
C
Which of the following events occurs in prophase? A) spindle disappears B) nuclear envelopes reassemble C) chromosomes condense D) sister chromatids separate
C
Cancer
Cells go through checkpoints and divide uncontrollably
prophase
Chromatin condenses into chromosomes
Picture of metaphase
Chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell.
metaphase
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
cytokinesis
Complete separation of the 2 new cells resulting from mitosis.
Chromosome
Condensed fibers of DNA
Which is the correct sequence of the M (mitotic) phase? A) telophase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase B) prophase, anaphase, metaphase, telophase C) prophase, telophase, metaphase, anaphase D) prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
D
Picture of prophase
DNA fist condenses and forms chromosomes
chromatid
Each half of the chromosome
Order of Interphase
G1, S, G2
Interphase
Majority of cell cycle is in this phase
interphase
Period of time where a cell carries on metabolism and replicates chromosomes prior to cell division
asexual reproduction
Process by which a single parent reproduces by itself
Order of Mitosis
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase (PMAT)
Picture of anaphase
Sister chromatids get pulled apart
anaphase
Sister chromatids separate
Picture of cytokinesis
The division of the cytoplasm.
Picture of telophase
Two nuclei start to re-form, cleavage begins to form.
Centromere
central part of chromosome, joining the two sister chromatids
Spindle fiber
emerge from centrioles, attach to chromosomes to pull them apart during mitosis
Cytokinesis
final stage of mitosis, cells divide and move apart
Prophase
first stage of mitosis, nuclear envelope disappears, chromosomes condense
Telophase
fourth stage of mitosis, cells begin to form cleavage furrow (animal) or cell plate (plant) and divide
G0 phase
interphase stage of cell cycle where cell goes into resting/not growing or dividing stage (seen in cancer cells)
G1 phase
interphase stage of cell cycle where cell grow and synthesizes proteins
G2 phase
interphase stage of cell cycle where cell grows and prepares to go into mitosis phase
S phase
interphase stage of cell cycle where cell replicates DNA
Centriole
organelle the sends out spindle fibers
Purpose of mitosis
organisms' growth, damage repair, asexual reproduction in single celled organisms
Metaphase
second stage of mitosis, centrioles move to opposite ends of cell, spindle fibers attach to chromosomes, chromosomes line up in middle
Chromatid
single copy of DNA strands
Mitosis
stage of cell cycle where the cell divides
Anaphase
third stage of mitosis, spindle fibers shorten pulling chromosomes apart
