Matching Mitosis Review

Match the following diagrams with the correct phases

• Prophase

• 
• Metaphase

• 
• Anaphase

• 
• Telophase

• 

Match the following definition with the correct term

• Centromere

• Formed by DNA replication, these chromatids are identical

• Chromosomes

• Thread-like, unwound DNA wrapped around proteins called histones

• Sister Chromatids

• DNA that is condensed and tightly wound

• Spindle Fibers

• These are attached to the centromere and help divide homologous chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis

• Chromatin

• An area on a chromosomes where spindle fibers attached during mitosis

Identify the correct term for the Letter B

• Centromere

• Chromosome

• Sister Chromatids

Answer explanation

A centromere is what holds the sister chromatids together

Match the following descriptions to the correct phase of Mitosis and Cell Division

• Telophase

• One cell will be come two and a cell plate in plant cells form and a cleavage furrow occurs in animal cells

• Prophase

• Chromosomes centromeres separate and move toward opposite "poles" of the cell. Chromosomes separate into chromatids

• Metaphase

• DNA condenses and organizes into chromosomes and are visible; the nuclear envelope dissolves and spindle fibers are formed

• Anaphase

• The nucleus divides and the nuclear memebrane reforms around the two sets of chromatids

• Cytokinesis

• The chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell

If there are 46 chromosomes in each human cell, how many chromosomes are there in each daughter cell following cytokinesis?

• 23

• 46

• 92

• It varies

Answer explanation

It will be 46 because mitosis is the process of duplicated or reproducing exact copies of the parent cell, therefore, it will have the same amount.

Which of the following shows the correct sequence for the cell cycle?

• Cytokinesis-Mitosis-G1-S-G2

• G1-G2-S- Cytokinesis-Mitosis

• S-G1-G2-Mitosis-Cytokinesis

• G1-S-G2-Mitosis-Cytokinesis

Identify the correct term for the Letter C

• Centromere

• Chromosome

• Sister Chromatids

Answer explanation

Sister Chromatids are exact copies of the same DNA.
