Mitosis and The Cell Cycle

The cell cycle is for cells to: Reproduce 


Cells grow and: Divide


The cell cycle only happens in _____ cells: Eukaryote 


The three main stages of the cell cycle are?

  • Interphase 

  • Mitosis 

  • Cytokinesis



Interphase

Interphase has how many phases: Three


This is the stage where the cell is ______ into a mature cell: Growing 


G1: The period right after the cell divides; preparing to replicate DNA 


S (Synthesis): The cell copies its DNA for division 


G2: The cell prepares for cell division and checks that everything is ready


Mitosis

Mitosis is the _____ phase of the cell cycle: Second 

During Mitosis, the cell divides from one cell into how many cells: Two 

These daughter cells are _______ identical: Genetically

Daughter cells are also called: Diploids 

The four phases of mitosis are: 

  • Prophase 

  • Metaphase

  • Anaphase 

  • Telophase

Prophase

Prophase is the ______ substage of mitosis: First

The ______ disappears: Nucleus 

Sister chromatids appear in the _______ of the cell: Middle 

_______ Fibers form in the cytoplasm 

The spindle apparatus is made of: 

  • Spindle Fibers 

  • Centrioles 

  • Astei Fibers 

The centromere is the ________ of sister chromatids: Middle

Sister chromatids contain ________ strands of DNA: identical 

Metaphase 

Metaphase is the ______ stage of mitosis: Second 

It is the _______ stage of mitosis: Shortest 

Sister chromatids lines up in the ______ of the cell: Middle 

Spindle fibers pull chromatids into the ______: Middle 

METaphase= MET in the: Middle 


Anaphase 

Anaphase is the ________ stage of mitosis:Third 

Sister chromatids are _______ apart: Pulled 

Chromatids separate into two identical_______: Chromosomes


By the end of anaphase, chromosomes are at ______ poles of the cell: Opposite 

“AN”- means: Opposite 

Telophase 

Telophase is the ______ stage of mitosis: Last 

________ new nuclei are formed: Two 

Each nucleus has a complete set of _____: DNA 

Nuclear membrane begin to _____: Form 

The cell has NOT fully ______ yet: Divided 

Cytokinesis


Cytokinesis is the ______ stage of the cell cycle: Final 

It is the ________ stage: Shortest 

The _______ divides during this process: Cytoplasm 

Two new cells form with ______ DNA: Identical 

In animal cells a _______ forms to constrict the cells: Furrow 

In plant cells a _______ builds to split the cells: Cell plate 

Apoptosis 

Apoptosis is _______ cell death: Programmed 

Not all cells are ______ to survive: Destined 

During apoptosis cells _______ or shrivel: Shrinks 

An example of apoptosis is _____ falling from trees in autumn: leaves 



Abnormal Cell Cycles 


Cells that do not respond to the normal cell cycle become: Abnormal 


Abnormal cell cycles result in: Cancer 


Cancer is uncontrolled ______ and ______ of cells: Growth and Division 


Cancer harms an organism by ______ out normal cells:
