Which part of the cell cycle does Growth Phase and Synthesis Phase fall on? | The Interphase |
What happens during the Growth Phase? | The cell is growing and is developing its organelles. |
What happens during the Synthesis Phase? | The chromosomes replicate in the nucleus (chromosomes double). |
What happens during prophase? | The centrioles move to opposite poles and the nucleus envelope disappears. Chromosomes coil up into visible structures. |
How many pairs of chromosomes are there in Metaphase? | There are 46 pairs of chromosomes in a Metaphase. |
What happens during anaphase? | The spindle fibres retract and pull half the chromosomes towards each centriole. |
What happens during telophase | The spindle fibre are back in the centrioles and the nuclear envelope starts to form back around both sets of chromosomes. |
What is the first cell checkpoint? | Lack of nutrients to support growth. |
What is the second cell checkpoint? | The DNA strands have not been replicated or have been damaged. |
What is the third cell checkpoint? | The chromosomes have not attached themselves to the spindle fibres and have not moved to opposite poles during anaphase. |
What happens during metaphase? | The spindle fibres will attach on to the chromosomes and line them up in the middle. |
How does cytokinesis work? | The cell membrane pinches off in the middle and separates into 2 daughter cells. |
Why does apoptosis happen? | Cells grow too old that they stop functioning properly (organelle responsible is lysosomes) |
What are cancer cells? | Cancer cells can undergo Mitosis an unlimited number of times. |
How does tumor form? | Tumor can form when cells start to divide uncontrollably to the point that they clump together. |
