Final Jeopardy

2. Prophase - $100
What stage is before prophase?
Interphase

3. Prophase - $200
What is the difference between prophase and interphase?
Chromosomes join together, spindle fibers begin to appear, nucleolus disappears, nuclear membrane disappears

4. Prophase - $300 What are sister chromatids?
Structures that contain identical copies of DNA
(Join to form chromosomes in prophase)

5. Prophase - $400 What is the definition of a centromere?
Where would the centromere be
in this picture?
A structure at the center of the chromosome where the sister chromatids are attached.
The middle, glowing circle.

6. Prophase - $500
What would happen if centromeres didn’t properly join the sister chromatids?
The daughter cells wouldn’t have enough DNA to survive or complete necessary functions.

7. Metaphase - $100
What comes before metaphase?
Prophase

8. Metaphase - $200
What happens in metaphase that is different from prophase?
Chromosomes attach to the spindle apparatus and line up in the middle

9. Metaphase - $300 What is the spindle apparatus?
The structure including the spindle fibers, the centrioles, and the aster fibers

10. Metaphase - $400
Where are the chromosomes
lined up?
The equator

11. Metaphase - $500
What would happen if only some of the chromosomes lined up in the middle?
The cell wouldn’t have accurate chromosomes and, if the chromosomes were vital, would not survive.

12. Anaphase - $100
What comes before anaphase?
Metaphase

13. Anaphase - $200 What’s different between anaphase and metaphase?
Microtubules shorten, chromosomes split apart and move to opposite poles.

14. Anaphase - $300 What are microtubules?
Structures in a cell that are typically used for transportation.

15. Anaphase - $400 What do motor proteins do?
Help move the chromosomes to the opposite poles of the cell.

16. Anaphase - $500
What would happen if only some of the chromosomes were separated and pulled apart?
The daughter cells would have the wrong amounts of chromosomes and could not correctly develop.

17. Telophase - $100
What comes before telophase?
anaphase

18. Telophase - $200 What’s different between telophase and anaphase?
Chromosomes reach the poles, Nuclear envelope reforms, the nucleolus reforms, and chromosomes decondense.

19. Telophase - $300 What is the nuclear membrane?
The border of the nucleus

20. Telophase - $400 What isn’t fully complete by the end of telophase?
Cellular division

21. Telophase - $500
What would happen if the nuclear membrane did not reform?
The chromosomes would not be properly contained and the daughter cells might not have the ability to complete necessary functions that happen within the nucleus.

Anaphase

23. Name the Stage - $200

Cytokinesis

27. Final Jeopardy
Which phase comes before all and is the longest unofficial phase?
Interphase
