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