Front Back
What holds chromatids together during prophase?
Centromeres
At what phase of mitotic cell division are the paired chromatids moving toward the equator of the cell?
Metaphase (remember M for metaphase and M for "move")
At what phase of mitotic cell division will two new nuclear membranes begin re-forming around both new nuclear masses?
Telophase (remember T for telophase and T for "two nuclear masses")
What used to be considered the resting phase of cell division?
Interphase
What phase of cell division can be divided into G1, S, and G2 phases?
Interphase
During which phase of mitotic cell division will the centromeres dissolve aallowing the chromatids to seperate and move to opposite ends of the cell?
Anaphase (remember A for anaphase and A for "apart")
What are the four phases of mitosis, in order?
Prophase metaphase anaphase telophase
In which phase of interphase is DNA replicalting in the nucleus?
S-phase
What are identical chromosomes called when they are twins of a pair
Chromatids
In which phase of mitosis will chromatids start to joins at the centromere?
Prophase (remember P for prophase and P for "pairs" of chromatids)
What is the longest phase of mitotic cell division?
Interphase (and G1 is the longest part of interphase)
What is hyperplasia?
Growth caused by an increase in the number of cells ( caused by mitotic cell division)
What are 3 reasons cells divide?
Growth healing replacing worn out cell parts
In what phase of the cell cycle will daughter cells be maturing into mother cells?
Interphase ( this is the phase in which cells grow)
In what phase of cell division will the cytoplasm split and seperate into 2 new cells both having a complete nucleus and cytoplasm?
Cytokinesis
