Cell Cycle & Mitosis

Front

During prophase

Back

DNA condenses into chromosomes, centrioles and spindle fibers appear

Front

During metaphase, what happens?

Back

DNA lines up in the middle of the cell and DNA attaches to spindle fibers

Front

During anaphase

Back

Each DNA gets pulled to the opposite sides of the cell

Front

Cells come from preexisting cells by the processes of:

Back

Mitosis and Cytokinesis

Front

Classification of a cell that does not divide or specialize; it may die. Options: Apoptosis, Progenitor cell, Stem cell, Daughter cell.

Back

Apoptosis

Front

Which statement is NOT true about interphase?

• It's the longest phase of the cell cycle
• During interphase organelles duplicate
• During interphase, DNA replicates
• During interphase, the chromatin condenses into chromosomes.

Back

During interphase, the chromatin condenses into chromosomes.

What is this picture of?

Back

Front

During which stage of the cell cycle does mitosis and cytokinesis occur? Options: Interphase, S phase, M phase, G1 phase

Back

M phase

Front

How many stages are in mitosis?

Back

4

Front

Why would it be important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis?

Back

In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.
