Topic 4 - Cell Cyle

Question 1

Mitosis

Answer 1

The type of nuclear division in which the daughter cells have
the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell

Question 2

Daughter Cell

Answer 2

Cells produced by cell division

Question 3

chromatid

Answer 3

One of the two strands of a chromosome that are joined
together by a single centromere prior to cell division

Question 4

centromere

Answer 4

the place where the two copies of DNA after replication are
joined together.

Question 5

interphase

Answer 5

period of cell cycle when cell isn’t dividing

Question 6

prophase

Answer 6

The first stage of mitosis when the chromosomes become
visible and when spindle fibres develop. The nucleolus
disappears and the nuclear envelope breaks down

Question 7

metaphase

Answer 7

The second stage of mitosis when the chromosomes arrange
themselves across the equator of the cell

Question 8

anaphase

Answer 8

The third stage of mitosis when the centromeres divide into two
and the spindle fibres pull the individual chromatids making up
the chromosome apart to their respective, opposite poles of the
cell.
