Prophase, Anaphase, Metaphase, Telophase

What is the main purpose of mitosis in the cell cycle?

To produce two identical daughter cells

What happens to the chromatids during telophase?

Two new nuclei form around them.

They separate and move to opposite poles.

What is the role of spindle fibers during cell division?

To separate chromatids and pull them to opposite sides

Before it divides, what does a cell do?

Grows, replicates its DNA, and prepares for division.

Releases all of its contents to the surrounding environment.

A molecule that contains all the instructions for making new cells

A type of protein that builds muscles.

A sugar that provides energy to cells.

A type of fat that stores energy in the body.

Why are the chromosomes copied?

To ensure each new cell has an identical set of genetic information.

To prepare for protein synthesis in the cell.

To eliminate defective genes from the DNA.

To create genetic diversity in offspring.

What are the 3 phases of the cell cycle?

Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis

Replication, Division, Differentiation

What happens during interphase?

The cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis.

The cell only focuses on protein synthesis without DNA replication.

The cell enters a dormant state and stops all activity.

The cell divides into two daughter cells.

How are the chromatids held together?

Chromatids are held together by the centromere.

Chromatids are held together by the cell membrane.

Chromatids are held together by the nuclear envelope.

Chromatids are held together by the spindle fibers.

What are the 4 phases of mitosis?

Interphase, Cytokinesis, Prophase, Metaphase

Prophase, Anaphase, Cytokinesis, Interphase

Telophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Prophase

What happens in metaphase?

The nuclear membrane dissolves. Chromosome pairs line up around the middle of the cell.

Chromosomes are replicated and begin to separate.

Spindle fibers disassemble and chromosomes move to opposite poles.

Nuclear envelope re-forms around the chromosomes.

What happens in anaphase?

Chromatids separate and move to opposite sides of the cell.

Chromosomes are replicated and begin to separate.

Nuclear envelope re-forms around the chromosomes.

The nuclear membrane dissolves. Chromosome pairs line up around the middle of the cell.

What happens in telophase?

A nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes and they unwind

Chromatids separate and move to opposite sides of the cell.

Nuclear envelope re-forms around the chromosomes.

The nuclear membrane dissolves. Chromosome pairs line up around the middle of the cell.

What happens in cytokinesis if a cell has no cell wall?

A cell plate forms and separates the new cells, later becoming a cell wall.

Chromatids separate and move to opposite sides of the cell.

The nuclear membrane dissolves. Chromosome pairs line up around the middle of the cell.

What happens in cytokinesis if a cell has a cell wall?

A cell plate forms and separates the new cells, later becoming a cell wall.

Chromatids separate and move to opposite sides of the cell.

The nuclear membrane dissolves. Chromosome pairs line up around the middle of the cell.

What happens when cell division goes wrong?

Cell division errors can lead to cancer .

Cell division is always successful.

Cell division only affects muscle cells.

Cell division has no impact on health.

How does DNA of a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells differ?

Prokaryotic DNA is circular and located in the nucleoid, while eukaryotic DNA is linear, organized into chromosomes, and contained within a nucleus.

Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA are circular and located in the nucleoid.

Prokaryotic DNA is linear and found in the nucleus, while eukaryotic DNA is circular and in the cytoplasm.

Eukaryotic DNA is found in the nucleoid, while prokaryotic DNA is organized into chromosomes.

What is cytokinesis like in a plant cell?

Cytokinesis in a plant cell involves the formation of a cell plate.

Cytokinesis in a plant cell involves the splitting of the nucleus.

Cytokinesis in a plant cell occurs through the formation of a cleavage furrow.

Cytokinesis in a plant cell results in the immediate separation of daughter cells without any structure.

What is cytokinesis like in an animal cell?

Cytokinesis in an animal cell is when it pinches the cell into two separate daughter cells.

Cytokinesis in an animal cell occurs without any physical separation of the cells.

Cytokinesis in an animal cell results in the merging of two cells into one.

Cytokinesis in an animal cell involves the formation of a cell plate.

Why does cancer occur?

Cancer occurs due to uncontrolled cell division.

Cancer is a result of eating too much sugar.

Cancer occurs due to exposure to sunlight only.

Cancer is caused by a lack of exercise.
