U1 L4: Cell Division

What is the best definition for the Cell Cycle?

• The regular growth and division of a cell.

• The cell cycle refers to the stages of protein synthesis.
• The cell cycle is the process of photosynthesis in plants.
• The cell cycle is the method by which cells communicate with each other.

What is the best definition for Interphase?

• Interphase is the phase where the cell divides into two daughter cells.
• Interphase is the stage of the cell cycle where DNA is replicated only during mitosis.
• Interphase is when the cell is inactive and not performing any functions.
• Interphase is the stage of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division. This process lasts 21 hours.

What is the best definition for Mitosis?

• Mitosis is the process of cellular respiration that generates energy.
• Mitosis is the stage of meiosis where genetic material is exchanged.
• Mitosis is the process of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells.
• Mitosis is the process of protein synthesis in cells.

What is the best definition for Prophase?

• The phase where chromosomes align at the cell's equator.
• The stage where DNA is replicated before division.
• The final stage of cell division where cells separate.
• The first phase of cell division where the chromatin condenses into chromosomes and the nuclear envelope disintegrates.

What is the best definition for Metaphase?

• Metaphase is the final stage of cell division where cells split apart.
• Metaphase is when DNA is replicated before cell division.
• Metaphase is the stage of cell division where chromosomes are aligned in the middle of the cell.
• Metaphase is the stage where the cell prepares for apoptosis.

What is the best definition for Anaphase?

• Anaphase is the phase where DNA is replicated before cell division.
• Anaphase is when the cell membrane begins to form between two new cells.
• Anaphase is the stage of cell division where the nucleus divides into two.
• Anaphase is the stage of cell division where chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell.

What is the best definition for Telophase?

• The final phase of mitosis where the chromosomes decondense into their “relaxed” form (chromatin) and the nuclear envelope reforms.

• The phase where chromosomes align at the cell's equator.
• The stage of cell division where DNA is replicated.
• The process of cytoplasm splitting into two daughter cells.

What is the best definition for Cytokinesis?

• Cytokinesis is the process of DNA replication.
• Cytokinesis is the synthesis of proteins in the cell.
• Cytokinesis is the final stage in cell division where the cytoplasm divides and two new daughter cells are created.

• Cytokinesis is the formation of the cell wall during cell growth.

What is the best definition for Centrioles?

• Cylindrical structures that move to either end of the cell during cell division. The spindle fibers connect to these.

• Structures found only in plant cells.
• Components of the cell membrane.
• Organelles responsible for energy production.

What is the best definition for Chromatin?

• Chromatin is a protein that helps in cell division.
• Chromatin is a structure that stores energy in cells.
• Chromatin is a the "relaxed" form of chromosomes stored in the nucleus of a cell.

• Chromatin is a type of RNA found in prokaryotic cells.
