What other questions do you have about the events of mitosis or the vocabulary associated with mitosis? There is A LOT of vocab! Chromatin, sister chromatid, chromosome, centiole, centromere, spindle fibers, etc.
What stage of mitosis is this picture showing?
Prophase
Telophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
In this stage of Mitosis, have the chromosomes seperated or are they still together?
Yes, they have seperated.
No, they are still together.
Where do the chromosomes line up in metaphase?
On the bottom of the cell.
On the top of the cell.
The chromosomes don't line up in metaphase.
In the middle of the cell.
What step follows metaphase?
Anaphase
Cytokinesis
Prophase
Telophase
Telophase is the phase of mitosis where ...?
Two very different cells are formed.
Two identical nuclei are formed.
Two identical cells are formed.
What part of the cell cycle IMMEDIATELY follows telophase to separate one cell into two?
mitosis
anaphase
cytokinesis
G1
Put the stages of mitosis in order below (first stage at the top, last stage at the bottom).
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
What happens to the chromosomes in prophase?
They pull apart to opposite ends of the cell.
They uncoil and become chromatin.
They line up along the middle of the cell.
They have condensed and become visible.
Before the cell undergoes mitosis, it has to go through this RESTING stage called ______.
Anaphase
Interphase
Metaphase
Telophase
Here is a picture of a plant cell in telophase. What surrounding the plasma (cell) membrane ,must also be copied?
Hint- This structure is only found in PLANTS.
Chloroplasts
Mitochondria
Nuclear Envelope
Cell Wall
Why is cell division important to multicellular organisms such as humans and trees?
it allows cells to reproduce and make offspring
it allows cells to reproduce so the organism can grow
it allows cells to reproduce so injuries can heal by having new cells form where cells were lost/damaged
Why is cell division important to single celled organisms like bacteria? Hint: it's important to them for a different reasons than it is to multicellular organisms!
it allows cells to reproduce so the organism can grow
it allows cells to reproduce so injuries can heal by having new cells form where cells were lost/damaged
