Back

chromatids

Front

Back

chromosome

Front

Put the stages of mitosis in the correct order: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase.

Back

prophase - metaphase - anaphase - telophase

Front

Fully grown parent cells split into two halves resulting in two daughter cells with the exact DNA as the parent. This process is called __________.

Back

Binary Fission

Front

What are the 4 nitrogen bases?

Back

adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine

Front

What is the process of cell division called that results in two identical daughter cells?

Back

Mitosis

Front

What is the role of the centromere during cell division?

Back

It holds the sister chromatids together and is the attachment point for spindle fibers.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in four genetically diverse gametes.

Front

What is the function of DNA?

Back

DNA carries genetic information and instructions for the development and functioning of living organisms.

Front

What happens during prophase of mitosis?

Back

Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers begin to form.
