Unit 6 In class Review

Front

What are the stages of mitosis in order?

Back

prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

Front

What are sister chromatids?

Back

Sister chromatids are identical copies of a chromosome, joined together by a centromere.

Front

What do G1 and G2 phases of interphase have in common?

Back

The cell grows in both phases.

Front

What happens if a cell doesn't pass a checkpoint in the cell cycle?

Back

It will either pause to fix the problem or undergo apoptosis.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm during cell division.

Front

What is the role of the centromere?

Back

The centromere holds sister chromatids together.

Front

What occurs during prophase?

Back

Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is the significance of metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane, ensuring proper separation.

Front

What is anaphase?

Back

Anaphase is the stage where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What happens during telophase?

Back

The chromosomes de-condense, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.
