The Cell Cycle

Master the cell cycle and mitosis! This worksheet covers all phases, chromosome behavior, and essential vocabulary.

Chromosomes are: genetic material in all living organisms found in nuclues all of the above Match the term with the description. Interphase Chromosomes are not visible. Chromosomes are duplicated. Prophase The nuclear membrane disappears. The spindle and centrioles appear. Metaphase Chromatids line up along the equator. Anaphase The sister chromatids are separated to poles. Telophase A nuclear membrane forms around the chromosomes. Cell plate forms in pant cell division. What is the end product of mitosis? 4 daughter cells 4 gametes 2 daughter cells 2 gametes Match the term with the description. Chromatin Loosely packed DNA Chromosome Tightly packed strands of DNA Chromatid Single strands of duplicated chromosomes What is the correct order of the cell cycle? G1 --> M --> G2 ---> S --> C G1 --> S --> G2 ---> M --> C G1 --> C--> G2 ---> S --> M G1 --> M --> S---> G2 --> C What is the longest phase of the cell cycle? Cytokinesis Mitosis Metaphase Interphase A Great White Shark has 82 chromosomes. When its cells undergo mitosis, how daughter cells are made? 1 2 4 A Great White Shark has 82 chromosomes. How many chromosomes will the daughter cell have? 82 41 164 How are complex organisms organized? Organism --> organ system --> tissues --> cells --> macromolecules Cells--> macromolecules --> tissues--> organism --> organ system Organism --> organ system --> tissues --> macromolecules--> cells Macromolecules --> cells --> tissues--> organ system --> organism Match the phase of cell division with its image Prophase Telophase Anaphase Metaphase Cytokinesis What structure holds chromatids together? Centromere Centriole Cytoplasm What structure pulls chromatids apart during mitosis? Centromeres Centrioles Cytoplasm What is the name of programmed cell death? Apoptosis Spindle Fiber Cleavage Furrow Kinases As an embryo develops cells become adapted to specific tasks like muscle cells, bone cells, and nerve cells. What is this process called? Apotosis Hybridization Hypertonic Differentiation Which type of tumor travels through the body? Malignant Benign Beneficial
