Chapter 10 test Flashcards
1
Q
chromatid
A
each side of a chromosome (worm)
2
Q
chromatin
A
material of chromosomes
DNA wrapped around proteins
3
Q
centromere
A
belt of chromosome
4
Q
centrioles
A
controls the spindles
5
Q
spindle fibers
A
pull apart chromatids
6
Q
reasons for cell division
A
to create more efficient smaller cells
7
Q
as cell size increases?
A
less efficient
volume grows faster than surface area
8
Q
interphase
A
90% of a cells life
not part of mitosis
9
Q
G1
A
cell growing
10
Q
S
A
DNA replication
11
Q
G2
A
preparing for mitosis
12
Q
prophase
A
nuclear membrane disintegrates
chromosomes condense
spindle forms
13
Q
metaphase
A
chromosomes line up across the cell
centromeres connect with spindles
14
Q
anaphase
A
chromosomes separate
chromosomes move to opposite side of the cell
15
Q
telophase
A
chromosomes spread onto chromatin
nuclei form around each cluster
spindle breaks
