Cell Cycle and Mitosis

The cell membrane splits and 2 new daughter cells are formed

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telephase

• Cytokinesis

What stage is this?

• Prophase
• Metaphase
• Anaphase
• Telophase

Cells of organisms must replicate for ?

• growth
• repair of damaged cells
• replacement of dying cells.
• All of the above

During metaphase

• DNA lines up in the middle of the cell and DNA attaches to spindle fibers

• centrioles and spindle fibers appear

• 2 new identical cells are created

• DNA gets copied

What does NOT happen during interphase?

• growth
• DNA replication 
• obtaining nutrients
• cell divison

During telophase

• DNA lines up in the middle of the cell and DNA attaches to spindle fibers

• centrioles and spindle fibers appear

• Each DNA gets pull to the opposite sides of the cell

• 2 new nuclei form

Fruit fly body cells have 8 chromosomes. After mitosis, you would expect a resulting fruit fly daughter cell to have -

• 16 chromosomes.
• 46 chromosomes.
• 8 chromosomes.
• 4 chromosomes.

The phase in mitosis where chromosomes move away and are pulled apart by spindles to opposite sides of the cell.

• prophase
• anaphase
• metaphase
• telephase

What are chromosomes?

• They attach to the DNA and pull it to the sides

• They contain mitochondria

• They contain ribosomes

• DNA packaged into threadlike structures

Which of the following shows the correct order for mitosis

• Prophase, telophase, anaphase, metaphase
• telophase, metaphase, anaphase, prophase
• prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
• prophase, metaphase, telophase, anaphase
