True or False: After telophase, the process of cell division is complete. Explain reasoning.

Reasoning: Cyotkinesis completes cell division False Reasoning: Cyotkinesis completes cell division Back to Game Board

What does cell division allow an organism to do?

grow and repair Back to Game Board

The process of mitosis and cytokinesis produce two identical

Daughter Cells Back to Game Board

As a result of mitosis, each of the two new cells produced from the parent cell during cytokinesis receive

An exact copy of all the chromosomes present in the parent cell Back to Game Board

A cell that undergoes repeated mitosis without cytokinesis would have

Many nuclei Back to Game Board

Name this phase.

Interphase Back to Game Board

Name this phase.

Anaphase Back to Game Board

Name this phase.

Telophase Back to Game Board

Name this phase.

Prophase Back to Game Board

Name this phase.

Metaphase Back to Game Board

Where sister chromatids are held together Where sister chromatids are held together. Part where spindle fibers attach to.

centromere Back to Game Board

Name given to one of the two identical parts of a duplicated chromosome

chromatid Back to Game Board

What part of the cell organizes the building of the mitotic spindle?

centrioles Back to Game Board

Name given to the framework that attaches to the centromeres?

spindle fibers Back to Game Board

What is the purpose of the spindle fibers?

The microtubules of the spindle “push” the chromatids to the center of the cell during metaphase, and “pull” them apart during anaphase. Back to Game Board

What is the cell cycle?

It is the life of a cell from the time it is first formed from a dividing parent cell until its own division into two cells. Back to Game Board

What events occur in the G1 phase?

The cell increases in size The cell increases in size. The cell doubles the number of enzymes and cytoplasmic organelles. Back to Game Board

What occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle?

DNA replication/ synthesis Back to Game Board

What occurs during the G2 phase of the cell cycle?

Continues to grow. The cell assembles the special structures that it needs for cell division. And finishes the duplication of remaining organelles. Back to Game Board

G1, S, and G2 (first 3 phases of cell cycle) are collectively known as (this is also where the cell spends most of its time) ?

Interphase Back to Game Board

In this phase, the microtubules shorten, pulling apart the sister chromatids.

Anaphase Back to Game Board

In this phase, the nuclear membrane disappears, the nucleolus disappears, tighter coiling of the chromosomes.

Prophase Back to Game Board

In this phase, the cell cytoplasm is divided into two parts.

Cytokinesis Back to Game Board

This is a phase in which the cell is not dividing, but carrying out its normal functions.

Interphase Back to Game Board

In this phase, the sister chromatids/ chromosomes are lined up at the equator of the cell.

Metaphase Back to Game Board

During this step, an indentation or “pinched in” area (cleavage furrow) on the surface of an animal cell will start; it will continue to pinch inward until two separate cells are formed. Within the forming nuclear membrane chromosomes begin to relax.

Telophase Back to Game Board

The cell cycle is monitored as each cell passes through

checkpoints Back to Game Board

What is cancer caused by (think about what happens to the genes)?

mutations Back to Game Board

Cancer cells can reproduce rapidly because they

spend less time in interphase Back to Game Board

The cell cycle is divided into what 3 main phases?

What is interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis? Back to Game Board
