Anaphase
Telophase
Prophase
During this phase of mitosis, the chromosomes pull apart from one another
Prophase
Anaphase
Metaphase
Telophase
A period of growth and development of the cell is referred to as _______
Metaphase
Telophase
Prophase
Interphase
What are sister chromatids?
Spindle fibers attaching to the chromosome
Any two chromatids that are next to each other
Two chromatids belonging to the same chromosome
Chromatin in the nucleus
What are the two stages of cell division?
G1 and G2
Mitosis and cytokinesis
Metaphase and anaphase
Interphase and mitosis
Starting at the beginning of interphase, what is the correct order of the 4 phases of the cell cycle?
G1, S, G2, M phase
M phase, S, G2, G1
G1, G2, M phase, S
S, G2, G1, M phase
What occurs during S phase of interphase?
The cell grows
DNA replicates
The nucleus dissolves
Chromatids separate
Sister chromatids are attached to each other at an area called the
Spindle fiber
Centromere
Chromosome
Centriole
What is the name of the organelle that creates spindle fibers?
Centriole
Chromatid
Chromosome
Centromere
During this phase of the cell cycle, the cell is preparing for mitosis
G1 phase
M phase
S phase
G2 phase
After mitosis has occurred, the cell must go through this process to split into 2 new cells
Interphase
Meiosis
DNA replication
Cytokinesis
What is the relationship between the p53 gene (tumor suppressor gene) and cancer?
The p53 gene only deals with tumors, not cancer
If a person has a p53 gene, then they will have cancer
The p53 gene prevents mitosis from happening
Mutations in the p53 gene cause cancer
What can cause cancer?
Mutagens like tobacco and UV rays can mutate DNA and cause uncontrollable cell division
