CELL CYCLE & CELL DIVISION

Master the cell cycle and mitosis! Learn all phases, from interphase to cytokinesis.

Mitosis: The Amazing Cell Process that Uses Division to Multiply! Match each phase of the cell cycle with the correct description. Interphase The cell is growing, copying its DNA, and preparing for division. Chromosomes are not visible. Prophase The nuclear membrane disappears. Chromsomes are visible and pair up. Metaphase Chromatids line up along the MIDDLE of the cell. Anaphase The sister chromatids are pulled AWAY or APART to the sides of the cell and the cell begins to stretch out. Telophase A nuclear membrane forms around the chromosomes and the cell stretches further, preparing the divide. Cytokinesis The cell splits into two daughter cells that each have an indentical set of chromosomes. Oh no! The picture is not in the correct order. Put the phases in the correct order. D, E, B, A, C C, E, B, D, A E, D, A, B, C C, D, E, B, A What is the end product of mitosis? 4 daughter cells 4 nuclei 2 daughter cells 2 nuclei Match one picture and one description to each phase of the cell cycle. Interphase The nucleus has a membrane around it and the chromosomes are not visible. Prophase The chromosomes are visible and the nuclear membrane disappears Metaphase Chromatids line up in the MIDDLE of the cell Anaphase Chromatids are pulled AWAY to the sides of the cell Telophase Chromosomes are at the sides of the cell and the nuclear membrane starts to form again Cytokinesis Divison of two daughter cells What phase of the cell cycle does a cell stay in the longest? Interphase Mitosis Cytokinesis What forms during cytokinesis in a plant cell? cell membrane cell plate cell wall none of the above
