6 Multiple choice questions
- 1st stage of mitosis, during which the cell's chromatin condenses into chromosomes. The nuclear membrane disappears.
- 3rd main stage of the cell cycle, during which the cell's cytoplasm divides, creating a new cell
- Deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information.
- last stage of mitosis in which nucleoli reappear. two new nuclear membranes begin to form, but the cell has not yet completely divided
- 3rd stage of mitosis in which sister chromatids are pulled apart and microtubules, along with motor proteins, move the chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell
- made up of microtubules. Used in cell division to separate the cell chromosomes
6 True/False questions
Chromosome → relaxed form of DNA in the nucleus of a cell
Nucleotide → Each of the two threadlike strands into which a chromosome divides longitudinally during cell division. Each contains a double helix of DNA
Centromere → cell structure that joins two sister chromatids. Where the spindle fibers connect
Interphase → 3rd stage of mitosis in which sister chromatids are pulled apart and microtubules, along with motor proteins, move the chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell
Carcinogen → cells are growing out of control. The cell cycle us going out of control and causing the cells to divide too quickly. Can be caused by genetics or something else.
Cell Cycle → cell structure that joins two sister chromatids. Where the spindle fibers connect
