Cell Division and Mitosis

Question 1

A type of reproduction-fission, budding, and regeneration-in which a new organism is produced from one organism and has DNA identical to the parent organism

Answer 1

Asexual Reproduction

Question 2

Any cell other than a gamete or stem cell that helps to form the body

Answer 2

Somatic/ Body Cell

Question 3

The entire life of a cell from its production, to growth and division

Answer 3

Cell Cycle

Question 4

Cell process in which the nucleus divides to form two nuclei identical to each other, and identical to the original nucleus, in a series of steps (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase)

Answer 4

Mitosis

Question 5

Loose, uncondensed DNA found in a cell undergoing interphase

Answer 5

Chromatin

Question 6

Tightly coiled DNA that condenses into visible chromosomes as a cell prepares to divide

Answer 6

Chromosome

Question 7

Two identical halves of a single replicated eukaryotic chromosome

Answer 7

Sister Chromatids

Question 8

the part of a chromosome at which the two sister chromotids attach

Answer 8

Centromere

Question 9

The phase in which the cell grows, DNA is replicated, and new organelles are produced

Answer 9

Interphase

Question 10

The phase in which chromosomes condense and become visible, centrioles appear, and the nuclear membrane starts to break down.

Answer 10

Prophase

Question 11

The phase in which chromosomes line up at the center of the cell and spindle fibers attach to the centromeres.

Answer 11

Metaphase

Question 12

The phase which sister chromatids are pulled apart by the spindle fibers and move to opposite ends of the cell

Answer 12

Anaphase

Question 13

The phase in which a new nuclear membrane is starting to form around each identical set of loosening DNA at the end of the cell

Answer 13

Telophase

Question 14

The phases when the cell pinches in and the cytoplasm is divided between 2 new daughter cells; slightly different in plant and animal cells

Answer 14

Cytokenesis
