Cell Cycle
Telophase
A structure, made from DNA and protein, that contains genetic information.
Chromosome
Prophase

Mitosis
Chromatin is...
DNA tightly coiled around RNA
DNA tightly coiled around histone proteins
A carbohydrate coiled around DNA
DNA that is in a stretched out, uncoiled form.
The stages of a cell's life where it grows, prepares for division, and divides into two daughter cells.
Cell cycle
Life cycle
Soul Cycle
Unicycle
The period of the cell cycle between cell divisions.
Interphase
Prophase

Telophase
The part of the cell cycle where the cell's nucleus divides.
Interphase
Mitosis
Cytokinesis
Chromosome
What happens during cytokinesis?
The nucleus of the cell divides.
The cell grows and prepares for mitosis.
The cytoplasm of the cell divides to form two daughter cells.
The cytoplasm of two cells joins to form one cell.
The genetic material inside the nucleus condenses and the chromosomes become visible during...
Interphase
Prophase
Metaphase
Cytokinesis
During prophase of meiosis, the chromosomes condense into an x-shaped structure where each side of the x contains one copy of the chromosome's DNA. This is called a...

What does the cell do during interphase?
Growing
Replicating (copying) it's DNA
Carrying out cell functions
All of the above
How many chromosomes are in a typical human body cell?
23
44
46

How many chromatids are in a typical human body cell at the beginning of Mitosis?
23

The process of mitosis makes two new cells that are
Identical
Different from each other
Why must DNA be duplicated (replicated) before mitosis happens
So that each daughter cell will have twice as much DNA as the parent cell
So that each daughter cell will get one complete set of DNA
Because the DNA needs to change and mutate before mitosis
Because the old DNA will break down and not be used after mitosis
