Karyotypes, cell cycle, mitosis

Front

What is a karyotype?

Back

An organized picture of all of an organism’s homologous chromosome pairs lined up with each other.

Front

What are the two main stages of binary fission?

Back

DNA is copied and the cell divides.

Front

During which phase of mitosis are chromatids moved toward opposite poles?

Back

Anaphase.

Front

Which type of organisms commonly reproduce by binary fission?

Back

Bacteria.

Front

What controls the phases of the cell cycle in eukaryotes?

Back

Proteins.

Front

What is the purpose of mitosis?

Back

To produce two identical daughter cells for growth and repair.

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication.

Front

What are the phases of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis.

Front

What happens during interphase?

Back

The cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process where the cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells.
