UNIT 5 REVIEW: Cell Cycle

Front

What is the process called when two replicated cells split from each other?

Back

Cytokinesis

Front

Why must cells of organisms go through cell division?

Back

For growth, repair of damaged cells, and replacement of dying cells.

Front

What extends from the centriole and pulls sister chromatids apart during cell division?

Back

Spindle Fibers

Front

What is the series of events a cell goes through as it grows and divides?

Back

Cell Cycle

Front

During which phase of mitosis are chromosomes pulled apart and move to opposite ends of the cell?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division?

Back

Interphase

Front

What is the term for the division of the nucleus during cell division?

Back

Mitosis

Front

What are the two main stages of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase and Mitotic Phase (M Phase)

Front

What is the role of centrioles during cell division?

Back

To help organize the spindle fibers that separate chromosomes.

Front

What happens during prophase of mitosis?

Back

Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.
