    What happens during interphase?
    The cell grows and it replicates its DNA
    30s
    BIOL.5a
  • Q3
    What happens to DNA before it is replicated?
    DNA separates between the nitrogen bases before it is replicated
    30s
    BIOL.5a
  • Q4
    How does the number of chromosomes in a cell change before and after cell division?
    They do NOT change!The number of chromosomes in a cell is exactly the same before and after cell division.
    30s
    BIOL.5a
  • Q5
    What is it mean that DNA replication is semi-conservative?
    Each double-stranded DNA has one new strand and one original strand
    30s
    BIOL.5a
  • Q6
    What is the order of the stages of the cell cycle?
    1. Interphase 2. Mitosis 3. Cytokinesis
    30s
    BIOL.5a
  • Q7
    What are the 4 phases of mitosis?
    (PMAT)Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase,Telophase
    30s
    BIOL.5a
  • Q8
    What is the purpose of mitosis?
    To create two genetically identical daughter cells
    30s
    BIOL.5a
  • Q9
    What happens during prophase?
    the chromosomes condense and the nucleus dissolves
    30s
    BIOL.5a
  • Q10
    What happens during metaphase?
    the chromosomes line up along the middle
    30s
    BIOL.5a
  • Q11
    What happens during anaphase?
    spindle fibers pull a set of chromosomes to opposite sides of the cell
    30s
    BIOL.5a
  • Q12
    What happens during telophase?
    the nuclei reform around each set of chromosomes
    30s
    BIOL.5a
  • Q13
    What process divides the parent cell into 2 daughter cells?
    Cytokinesis is the process of dividing the cell into 2 new cells
    30s
    BIOL.5a
  • Q14
    What do we call the new cells that are created during cell division?
    They are called daughter cells (The original cell is the parent cell)
    30s
    BIOL.5a
  • Q15
    What does the cell cycle allow multicellular organisms to do?
    The cell cycle allows organisms to grow and heal themselves
    30s
