Cell Division Test with Verified Answers
cell division - -division of a parent cell into cancer - -uncontrolled cell division
daughter cells

G1 phase - -stage of interphase in which cell
centriole - -structure that helps to form the grows and performs its normal functions
spindle

S phase - -stage of interphase in which DNA is
spindle - -microtubule structure that separates replicated
chromosomes during mitosis

G2 phase - -stage of interphase in which cell
cell cycle - -cell grows, prepares to divide, then duplicates its cytosol and organelles
divides to start growth process again; interphase + M
phase
gamete - -sex cell, sperm or egg

telophase - -last phase of mitosis,
chromosome are in two new cells and nuclear meiosis - -type of cell division that creates
membranes start to reform gametes; creates four cells that are genetically
unique

interphase - -cell grows, performs its normal
functions, and prepares for division; consists of G1, crossing-over - -process by which homologous
S, and G2 phases chromosomes exchange pieces, resulting in greater
genetic variety

mitosis - -division of the nucleus or
chromosomes; creates two genetically identical cells sister chromatids - -a chromosome and its
identical copy

metaphase - -phase of mitosis in which
chromosomes line up in the center of the cell centromere - -location where sister chromatids
are attached

prophase - -first phase of mitosis in which
chromosomes become visible and nuclear
membraine disappears


cytokinesis - -division of the cytoplasm (cytosol
and organelles)


anaphase - -phase of mitosis in which sister
chromatids are pulled to opposite sides of the cell
