Mitosis - Answer Division of the a cell's nucleus for growth and repair of the cell.
Outcome of Mitosis - Answer Two genetically identical daughter cells
Steps of Mitosis - Answer 1. Interphase
2. Prophase
3. Metaphase
4. Anaphase
5. Telophase
Cytokinesis - Answer The division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells.
Occurs at end of telophase.
Interphase - Answer Cell grows, performs its normal functions, and prepares for
division.
Consists of G1, S, and G2 phases during which DNA replicates.
Prophase - Answer Longest phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes condense
and become visible.
Centrioles separate and move to opposite sides of the nucleus.
Nuclear membrane disappears
Metaphase - Answer Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
Metaphase = middle
Anaphase - Answer Chomosomes move apart, from the center to the poles
Anaphase = apart
Telophase - Answer Chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are
formed. Nuclear membrane reappears. The new daughter cells separate via cytokinesis
Meiosis - Answer Cell division that produces 4 gamete cells in sexually reproducing
organisms, each with half the genetic information of the originating cell
Germ cell - Answer Reproductive cell that produces ova (eggs) or sperm
Gamete - Answer Sex cell that contains half the genetic information
Sperm or ovum (egg)
Steps of Meiosis I - Answer Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I
Steps of Meiosis II - Answer Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II
What happens at the end Interphase? - Answer DNA replicates
Does Interphase happen before both mitosis and meiosis? - Answer Yes.
