The process in which the cell divides into 2 new daughter cells is called?
Cell division
What is the first phase of interphase.
G1 phase
What happens in the G1 phase of interphase?
Growth
New Proteins & Organelles Made
The 2 sister-chromatids are held together by what?
centromeres
What is the second phase of interphase?
S phase
What happens in the S phase?
DNA replication
The process of which the cell grows is called mitosis? TRUE OR FALSE
False, interphase
The third phase of interphase is called?
G2 phase
The cell prepares for mitosis by breaking down the nucleolus, nuclear membrane, and DNA thins out into chromatin.
G2 phase
The cell cycle is the growth and division of somatic cells. TRUE OR FALSE
True
All humans have who many sets of chromosomes?
46 and 23 sets
In this phase the cell chromatin thickens into chromatin.
prophase
In this phase the cytoplasm splits into 2 new Daughter cells.
Cytokinesis
In this phase the sister chromatids are pulled to opposite side of the cell.
anaphase
In this phase a NEW nuclear membrane forms.
Telophase
What are the two main stages of the cell cycle?
interphase and mitosis
What is cancer?
uncontrolled cell division
Cancer cells form masses of cells called?
tumors
How does cytokineses occur in animal cells?
The cell membrane forms inward to form equal sections of cytoplasm.
In this phase the sister chromatids line up in the middle.
metaphase
The chromosomes move until they are opposites sides on the cell.
anaphase
The centrioles are on opposite sides of the cell in this phase.
prophase
