Chromatin refers to DNA that is...

• old and needs to be dissolved. 
• completely unwound and ready for replication. 
• tightly bound into chromosome-like structures. 
• relaxed like a bowl of spaghetti. 

What does NOT happen during interphase?

• growth
• DNA replication 
• obtaining nutrients

The ___________ holds the replicated sister chromatids together.

• centriole
• chromosomes

• cycles

Cytokinesis is a phase of mitosis. 

• True
• False 

• Cytokinesis
• Interphase
• Anaphase

What is cytokinesis?

• This is when two cells merge together to make one giant cell.
• The stage where chromosomes migrate to the opposite ends of the cell. 
• The stage of the cell cycle where the rest of the cell divides after mitosis is complete.
• The stage in which DNA condenses into chromosomes.
