CELL DIVISION EXAM PRACTICE

The X-Shaped Structure that carries genetic information in the form of genes

• CHROMOSOMES

• CHROMATIN

• CENTRIOLES

• CHROMATIDS

NGSS.HS-LS3-1

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

the single strand in which a chromosome divides during anaphase of cell division

• chromosomes

• chromatin

• chromatid

• spindle fibers

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

the organelle that occurs in pairs and is involved in the development of spindle fibers in cell division

• spindle fibers

• chromosomes

• centrioles

• nuclear membrane

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

the structure in cells that forms during cell division to separate sister chromatids between daughter cells.

• chromosomes

• spindle fibers

• centrioles

• asters

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

also called nuclear division; a type of cell division that occurs in diploid cells (body cells) that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus

• mitosis

• interphase

• prophase

• meiosis

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

a type of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that reduces the number of chromosomes in gametes (the sex cells or egg and sperm)

• mitosis

• meiosis

• prophase I

• interphase

the first phase of the cell cycle; includes G1, S, and G2 phases. During this phase, the cell grows, replicates its DNA and prepares for mitosis

• interphase

• prophase

• metaphase

• anaphase

the first phase of mitosis, the nuclear membrane breaks apart and chromatin condenses into chromosomes. centrioles form a star shaped structure called the aster and a spindle forms between them.

• interphase

• prophase

• metaphase

• anaphase

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

during this phase of mitosis, chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell along the equator

• interphase

• metaphase

• prophase

• telophase

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

during this phase of mitosis, the chromatids are pulled apart by the spindle and move to the opposite sides of the cell

• interphase

• prophase

• metaphase

• anaphase
