Cell cycle, Mitosis, Meiosis, Specialization

Front

What determines the function of cells in a multicellular organism?

Back

The genes that are turned on in those cells determine their function.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process where the cytoplasm divides, creating new cells.

Front

What is the correct order of mitosis?

Back

The correct order is: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

How many daughter cells are produced in meiosis?

Back

Meiosis results in 4 daughter cells.

Front

What is the correct order of the phases of mitosis?

Back

The correct order is: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is the series of phases that a cell goes through to divide and replicate.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in 2 identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in 4 genetically diverse daughter cells.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

During prophase, the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What occurs during metaphase?

Back

During metaphase, chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plate.

Front

What is an example of cell specialization?

Back

An example of cell specialization is a muscle cell, which is specialized for contraction.
