Mitosis

Question 1

sister chromatid

Answer 1

identical DNA molecules made after synthesis

Question 2

centromere

Answer 2

holds sister chromatids together to prevent separation/damage

Question 3

diploid

Answer 3

cells with 2 copies of every chromosome

Question 4

mitosis

Answer 4

cell division that results in genetically identical daughter cells, chromosome # is same

Question 5

telomere

Answer 5

an indicator to show when a cell should stop dividing and die

Question 6

apoptosis

Answer 6

programmed cell death when a cell has a high risk of causing cancer

Question 7

condensation

Answer 7

sister chromatids coil tightly and become compact

Question 8

spindle

Answer 8

microtubules formed in prophase that help pull sister chromatids apart

Question 9

prophase

Answer 9

sister chromatids condense, spindles form, nuclear envelope breaks down

Question 10

metaphase

Answer 10

chromatids line along the middle and the centrioles are on opposite poles, linking spindles up to centrosomes

Question 11

anaphase

Answer 11

chromatids pulled apart by spindles and drawn to opposite sides of the cell

Question 12

telophase

Answer 12

cell begins to divide, nuclear envelope reassembles, spindles break down

Question 13

cytokinesis

Answer 13

cell splits apart along the plasma membrane and two identical daughter cells are made
