Biology 5.1 and 5.2 Voc Quiz

Pattern of growth, DNA replication, and cell division that occurs in a eukaryotic cell.

• mitosis

• meiosis

• cell cycle

• telomere

Long continuous thread of DNA that consists of numerous genes and regulatory information.

• chromatid

• centromere

• chromosome

• chromatin

Process by which a cell divides its nucleus and contents.

• meiosis

• mitosis

• cell cycle

• anaphase

Protein that organizes chromosomes and around which DNA wraps.

• chromatin

• prophase

• chromosome

• histone

The process by which the cell cytoplasm divides

• mitosis

• cell cycle

• cytokinesis

• centromere

One-half of a duplicated chromosome.

• chromatin

• chromatid

• metaphase

• centromere

The phase of mitosis when a complete set of identical chromosomes is positioned at each of the poles of the cell, the nuclear membrane starts to re-form, chromosomes uncoil, and the spindle fibers disassembles.

• metaphase

• interphase

• anaphase

• telophase

The region of condensed chromosome that looks pinched; where spindle fibers attach during mitosis.

• chromatid

• chromatin

• centromere

• chromosome

Phase of mitosis during which chromatids separate and are pulled to opposite sides of the cell.

• prophase

• metaphase

• telophase

• anaphase

Repeating nucleotides at the ends of DNA molecules that do not form genes and help prevent the loss of genes.

• anaphase

• telophase

• telomere

• prophase
