Cell Cycle Study Guide
Draw and label all parts of the chromosome.
Human cells have 46 chromosomes, as the cell goes through mitosis how many chromosomes will
the daughter cell have? 46
What process of mitosis does DNA replicate? What does this do to the amount of chromosomes in
the cell? S phase, doubles
List each phase of mitosis, and describe the amount of chromatids and chromosomes in each stage.
Interphase- n
Prophase- 2n
Metaphase- 2n
Anaphase- n
Telophase- n
Cytokinesis- n
List the stages of mitosis in order from beginning to end.
G1, S, G2, M
Explain the differences between a plant cell and animal cell during cytokinesis.
Plant cell- divides by cell plate
Animal- cleavage furrow- membrane pinches closed
What are 2 structures made of microtubules in the cell during mitosis?
Spindle fibers and centrioles
What is the purpose of mitosis?
Divides the cell into 2 genetically identical daughter cells.
What is the process that forms egg and sperm in multicellular organisms?
Meiosis
What does it mean for a cell to be in G0?
Non Dividing cells- stuck
What part of the cell do spindle fibers grow from?
Centrioles
In which phase does the cell contain chromatin?
Interphase, cytokinesis
Chromosomes?
Anaphase, Telophase
Replicated Chromosomes?
Prophase, Metaphase
Be able to label all parts of the cell in each phase of mitosis.
