Q

Reproduction by mitosis is classified as

Asexual since the cells produced by mitosis are genetically identical to the parent cell

Q

What are chromatids

A

Well before cell division, each chromosome is replicated, or copied. Because of this, each chromosome consists of two identical sister chromatids

Q

Define centromere

A

Centromere’s are usually located near the middle of the chromatids, although some line near the ends

Q

What occurs during the cell cycle

A

During the cell cycle the cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells, each of which then begins the cycle again.

16
Q

Which phase occurs in the M phase?

A

Mitosis and cytokinesis

17
Q

Which phases occur during the S-phase

A

Chromosome replication or synthesis. When the cell copies of chromosomes it makes a duplicate set of DNA

18
Q

Which phases are between the M and S phases?

19
Q

What are the g1 and g2 phases?

A

They are actually periods of intense growth and activity

20
Q

Interphase is divided into three phases:

21
Q

What occurs in the G1 phase

A

Growth: cells increase in size and synthesize new proteins and organelles

22
Q

What occurs during the S phase?

A

Chromosomes are replicated and the synthesis of DNA molecules take place. Key proteins associated with the chromosomes are also synthesize

23
Q

What happens during the G2 phase

A

Many organelles and molecules required for Cell division are produced. When it’s completed the cell is ready to enter the M phase and begin the process of cell division

24
What are the four phases of mitosis
Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase
25
What are centrioles
Two tiny structures located in the cytoplasm near the nuclear envelope at the beginning of prophase
26
What is the spindle
A fanlike microtubule that helps separate the chromosomes
27
Define prophase
The chromatin condenses into chromosomes. The centrioles separate, and a spindle begins to form. The nuclear envelope breaks down
28
Define metaphase
The chromosomes line up across the center of the cell. Each chromosome is connected to a spindle fiber at its centromere
29
Define anaphase
The sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes and are moved apart
30
Define telophase
The chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and lose their distinct shapes. 2 new nuclear envelopes will form
31
Define cytokinesis
The cytoplasm pinches in half. Each daughter cell has not dental set of duplicate chromosomes
32
How does cytokinesis occur in most animal cells
The cell membrane is drawn in word into the cytoplasm is pinched into two nearly equal parts
33
What forms midway between the divided nucleus during cytokinesis in plant cells
A structure known as the cell plate
34
Mitosis is division of the
Nuclei
