The Cell Cycle & Types of Reproduction Review

During which stage of mitosis are the chromosomes aligned across the middle of the cell?

Metaphase

During which phase of the cell cycle do the sister chromatids split?

What are the sister chromatids called after they split?

Anaphase

Chromosomes

What are the three parts of interphase?

Gap 1Synthesis Gap 2

What is the final result of Mitosis?

2 Identical Daughter Cells

Mitosis is the process of…….

Dividing the nucleus.

Genetic differences between the parents and offspring occur because of……..

Asexual or Sexual Reproduction

What structures move the chromosomes around the cell?

Spindle Fibers

How is cytokinesis different between plant and animal cells?

In animal cells the cytoplasm pinches in the middle of the cell.

In plant cells a cell plate (wall) forms in the middle of the cells blocking off the two nuclei.

• What is the correct order of phases through the cell cycle?
