Mitosis and the cell cycle

?
The Cell Cycle consists of...
Interphase, Mitosis and Cytokinesis
1 of 23
Interphase is...
a period of synthesis and growth
2 of 23
Mitosis is...
the formation of two genetically identical daughter nuclei
3 of 23
Cytokinesis is...
the division of the cytoplasm to form two daughter cells
4 of 23
What are the stages of Mitosis?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase
5 of 23
Interphase has much _______ activity
metabolic
6 of 23
What happens to DNA during interphase?
It replicates so its quantity doubles
7 of 23
What is synthesised during interphase?
Proteins, such as histones and enzymes (this requires energy from ATP)
8 of 23
Why are chromosomes not visible in the microscope during interphase?
Because the nuclear material, chromatin, is dispersed throughout the nucleus
9 of 23
What is the longest stage of the four stages of mitosis?
Prophase
10 of 23
Where can the pair of chromatids be seen lying in Prophase?
The cytoplasm
11 of 23
At what stage do the chromosomes attach to the spindle?
Metaphase
12 of 23
Where do the the chromosomes align in metaphase?
The equator
13 of 23
Which stage is very rapid?
Anaphase
14 of 23
What separates during anaphase?
The centromere
15 of 23
What shorten during anaphase?
The spindle fibers
16 of 23
What is the final stage of mitosis?
Telophase
17 of 23
When are the chromatids referred to chromosomes again?
when the chromatids have reached have reached the poles of the cells
18 of 23
Telophase is the reverse of what stage?
Prophase
19 of 23
The division of the nucleus by mitosis is followed by what?
Cytokenisis
20 of 23
What is cytokenisis?
The division of the cytoplasm, to make two cells
21 of 23
In animal cells cytokenisis occurs...
outsides inwards
22 of 23
In plant cells cytokenisis occurs...
centre outwards
