Cell cycle

start

question 1/10

The three stages of the cell cycle are Interphase, Mitosis and Cytokinesis

False

True

question 1/10

Correct!

The cell cycle involves three stages: Interphase, Mitosis and Cytokinesis. The cell spends 90% of it's life in Interphase and only 10% in Mitosis. Mitosis involves PMAT (The four steps: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase).

next

question 2/10

In which phase is the cell growing in size and replicating DNA in preparation for cell division?

Cytokinesis

Mitosis

Interphase

question 2/10

Well done!

Interphase is the first stage of the cell cycle. DNA is in the form of chromatin (loose genetic material). The cell grows in size and DNA replicates.

next

question 3/10

In which phase of Mitosis are the chromosomes being pulled (away) apart by spindle fibers from the centrioles to opposite ends of the cell?

Prophase

Metaphase

Anaphase

Telophase

question 3/10

Correct!

During anaphase, the centromere holding the sister chromatids (chromosome) together is broken, and the chromatids are pulled by the spindle fibers to opposite ends of the cell.

next

question 4/10

Which phase of mitosis does this image represent?

Prophase

Metaphase

Anaphase

question 4/10

Well done!

Metaphase is when the chromosomes align in the middle of the cell. The spindle fibers are connected to the centromere holding the sister chromatids together.

NEXT

question 5/10

Which image represents Interphase?

question 5/10

Correct!

During interphase, the nucleus is still present, and DNA is in the form of chromatin (loose genetic material).

next

question 6/10

During prophase, the nuclear membrane disappears and DNA condenses from chromatin into chromosomes.

False

True

question 6/10

Well done!

Prophase is the first step of Mitosis. During prophase the nuclear membrane disappears, and DNA wraps around histone proteins condensing until a chromosome is formed.

next

question 7/10

During which stage does the nuclear membrane reform around the daughter chromosomes?

Interphase

Cytokinesis

Telophase

question 7/10

Correct!

Telophase means two! During telophase the nuclear membrane begins to reform around each set of daughter chromosomes.

next

question 8/10

During which phase of the cell cycle does the cytoplasm pinch in the middle and split into two daughter cells?

Telophase

Mitosis

Cytokinesis

Interphase

question 8/10

Well done!

Cytokinesis is the final step in the cell cycle. The cytoplasm pinches in the middle and then splits forming two identical daughter cells. After cytokinesis, the daughter cells move into the first step of the cell cycle: Interphase.

next

question 9/10

Which acronym is shorthand for the entire cell cycle?

PMAT

IPMATC

PMATC

question 9/10

Correct!

Anacronyms are a great study tool! IPMATC stands for all three stages of the cell cycle: Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase (Mitosis), Cytokinesis! PMAT: great way to remember the four stages of Mitosis

next

question 10/10

What phase of Mitosis is represented in the image?

Prophase

Metaphase

Anaphase

question 10/10

Good job!

Hit and sunk!
