Chp. 8 Mitosis Bio 110 Exam 2 (Uofsc)
Questions with Accurate Answers
Prokaryotes - ANSWERSHave a simple call cycle
Takes place in two stages which together make up a simple cell cycle
Replication - ANSWERSprocess of copying DNA prior to cell division
Binary Fission - ANSWERSSplit the cell in two to form daughter cells
Eukaryotes - ANSWERSHave a complex cell cycle
Contain more DNA than prokaryotic cells
Stages of Cell Cycle (Eukaryotic Cell Cycle)... - ANSWERSInterphase (G1, S, G2)
Mitosis
Cytokinesis
Interphase - ANSWERSPeriod of the cell cycle between cell divisions
(set 3 stages)
DNA replicates
G1 phase - ANSWERSThe primary growth phase of cell following division
Most cells spend the majority of their lifespan in this phase
S phase - ANSWERSDNA replication
G2 - ANSWERSFurther preparation for cell division, including replication of
mitochondria and synthesis of microtubles
Mitosis - ANSWERSA cell division mechanism that occurs in non reproductive cells
Is a continuous process but it is divided into 4 distinct stages (prophase, metaphase,
anaphase, and telophase)
Prophase - ANSWERSChromosomes become visable, nuclear envelop dissolves,
spindle forming
Metaphase - ANSWERSChromosomes attached to microtubules of the spindle & line up
in the middle of the cell
