    Cytokinesis
    DNA replication
  • What is the name of the organelle that creates spindle fibers?
    Centriole
    Centromere
    Chromosome
    Chromatid
  • The phase of mitosis during which chromosomes become visible & centrioles separate from each other is known as ________
    Anaphase
    Prophase
    Telophase
    Metaphase
  • During mitosis, the original cell divides into two new daughter cells. If the cell has 46 chromosomes, how many chromosomes are found in each of the daughter cells?
    12
    46
    23
    92
  • A period of growth and development of the cell is referred to as _______
    Metaphase
    Telophase
    Interphase
    Prophase
  • Uncontrolled cell division results in...
    Cancer
    Mitosis
    Cyclins
    Cytokinesis
  • What are the two stages of cell division?
    Metaphase and anaphase
    Interphase and mitosis
    G1 and G2
    Mitosis and cytokinesis
  • What are sister chromatids?
    Two chromatids belonging to the same chromosome
    Chromatin in the nucleus
    Spindle fibers attaching to the chromosome
    Any two chromatids that are next to each other
  • Sister chromatids are attached to each other at an area called the
    Centriole
    Chromosome
    Centromere
    Spindle fiber
  • During which phases of the cell cycle is the DNA found in the form of chromosomes?
    Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase
    Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis
    Interphase & M phase
    Interphase
  • The process of cell division results in...
    A new daughter
    Two daughter cells
    Mitosis
    Sister chromatids
  • What can cause cancer?
    Mutagens like tobacco and UV rays can mutate DNA and cause uncontrollable cell division
  • During this phase of mitosis, the chromosomes pull apart from one another
    Metaphase
    Prophase
    Telophase
    Anaphase
  • What are two things that the cell does during interphase?
    Grow & develop, replicate DNA, prepare for mitosis
  • What is the relationship between the p53 gene (tumor suppressor gene) and cancer?
    The p53 gene prevents mitosis from happening
    The p53 gene only deals with tumors, not cancer
    Mutations in the p53 gene cause cancer
    If a person has a p53 gene, then they will have cancer
  • What occurs during S phase of interphase?
    Chromatids separate
    The cell grows
    The nucleus dissolves
    DNA replicates
  • Starting at the beginning of interphase, what is the correct order of the 4 phases of the cell cycle?
    S, G2, G1, M phase
    G1, G2, M phase, S
    G1, S, G2, M phase
    M phase, S, G2, G1
  • During this phase of the cell cycle, the cell is preparing for mitosis
    S phase
    M phase
    G1 phase
    G2 phase
  • How is the p53 gene important to our survival?
    The p53 gene helps us prevent the development of cancer
  • During this phase of mitosis, chromosomes uncoil as the nuclear membrane forms in 2 new cells
    Anaphase
    Telophase
    Prophase
    Metaphase
