CHAMBERLAIN EXAM 2: BIOS 251 -
CHAMBERLAIN UNIVERSITY,
2025/2026 WITH
CORRECT/ACCURATE ANSWERS
Cytokinesis
division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells
Interphase
The time between two successive M phases.
G1 phase
Growth phase. Longest phase of cell cycle. produces extra
organelles.
S phase
The synthesis phase of the cell cycle; the portion of interphase
during which DNA is replicated
G2 Phase
Prepare for mitosis. Make microtubules. further cell growth and
organization of cellular contents
Meiosis
a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with
half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the
production of gametes.
Differences between mitosis and meiosis
, 1. Meiosis has two rounds of genetic separation (mitosis twice)
and cellular division while mitosis only has one of each.
2. In meiosis, homologous chromosomes separate leading
to daughter cells that are not genetically identical. In mitosis
the daughter cells are identical to the parent as well as to each
other.
3. Meiosis produces gamete cells and mitosis produces diploid
cells
4. Meiosis produces 4 cells and mitosis produces 2
Mitosis
part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus
divides
characteristics:
1. development of an individual, composed of some 50 trillion
cells, from a one-celled fertilized egg
2. growth of all tissues and organs after birth
3. replacement of cells that die
4. repair of damaged tissues.
Prophase
Chromosomes become visable and releases into the cytosol,
nuclear envelop dissolves, spindle fibers form, centrioles lie at
each pole of cell, and spindle fibers then tug the chromosomes
back and forth until they line up along the midline of the cell.
