Term

|
Definition
| Gap 1, synthesis, gap 2, mitosis. |
|
|
Term
| True or False. During Gap 1 and Gap 2, the cell performs normal duties. |

Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| During mitosis or meiosis. |
|
|
Term
| True or false. All cells divide at the same rate. |
|
Definition
| False. Different cells divide at different rate. For example, nerve cells rarely divide, whereas skin cells divide every 2 weeks. |
|
|
Term
| Why would it be bad for a cell to be too large or too small? |
|
Definition
Too small- can't contain all of the necessary organelles
Too big- can't move sufficient materials in and out of cell. |
|
|
Term
| Why must a cell be exactly double its size before dividing? |
|
Definition
More than double- daughter cells too big
Less than double- daughter cells too small |
|
|
Term
| At the start of mitosis, DNA condenses into? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| DNA wraps around which protein when it condenses? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Is chromatin or chromosomes more condensed? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Chromatids are held together by a? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| These structures are located at the end of the chromatids and prevent the ends of chromosomes from becoming entangled and also help prevent the loss of genes. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Put these in order: Metaphase, Telophase, Prophase, Anaphase |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| During which stage does this happen: Chromatin condenses into tightly coiled chromosomes. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| During which stage does this happen: Sister Chromatids separate from each other |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| During which stage does this happen: Spindle fibers align Chromosomes along the middle of the cell. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| During which stage does this happen: A complete set of identical chromosomes is positioned at each pole of the cell. Nuclear membrane begins to form. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| During which stage does this happen: Cytoplasm divides between two daughter cells. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| During which stage does this happen: Nuclear envelope breaks down. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What is binary fission used for? |
|
Definition
| The asexual reproduction of a single celled organism |
