The Cell Cycle & Mitosis

Master the cell cycle and mitosis! Learn phases, chromosome behavior, and cancer cell traits.

Chromosomes are: genetic material in all living organisms found in the nucleus all of the above Match the term with its description. Prophase Nuclear membrane disappears, chromosomes form Metaphase Chromosomes line up in the middle Anaphase Chromatids move away from each other Telophase 2 new nuclei form, spindles disappear What is the end product of mitosis? 4 daughter cells, identical to the parent cell 2 daughter cells, different from the parent cell 2 daughter cells identical to the parent cell 4 daughter cells, different from the parent cell Match the term with the description. Chromatin Loosely packed DNA Chromosome Tightly packed strands of DNA What is the longest phase of the cell cycle? Cytokinesis Mitosis Interphase Match the phase of cell division with its image Prophase Telophase Anaphase Metaphase A Great White Shark cell has 82 chromosomes. How many chromosomes will each daughter cell have after mitosis? 82 41 164 What is the correct order of the phases of mitosis? Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase Prophase, Anaphase, Telophase, Metaphase Prophase, Metaphase, Telophase, Anaphase Sort the characteristics of cancer cells versus normal cells. Normal Cells maintain normal function normal appearance and nucleus do not form tumors Cancer Cells do not function normally abnormal appearance form tumors List two causes of cancer. List one way to reduce your risk of getting cancer.
