All you need to know about Mitosis if you are in the 7th Grade :)

        Help!  

Term
Definition
What is mitosis?   Chromosomes multiply and divide when the cell reproduces daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell; cells divide  
🗑
What is chromatin?   Uncoiled strand of DNA  
🗑
What are chromosomes?   Coiled chromatin; contains genes  
🗑
What are genes?   Segments of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a certain hereditary trait  
🗑
What is a chromatid?   One part of a duplicated chromosome  
🗑
What does a centromore do?   Attaches the 2 chromatids together  
🗑
What are homologous pairs?   Chromosome pairs that are structurally similar and contain information for same genes  
🗑
Where does Mitosis occur?   Human body (or somatic) cells; this is every cell except the egg and the sperm  
🗑
How many chromosomes does a body (or somatic) cell have?   46 Chromosomes; 23 pairs of homologous pairs  
🗑
What are diploid cells?   They contain all homologous pairs of chromosomes  
🗑
What are the 6 stages of cell division?   Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis  
🗑
What is Interphase?   Chromosomes (in the form of chromatin) and organelles replicate  
🗑
What is Prophase?   Chromatin coils into chromosomes; In animal cells centrioles appear at the sides of the cell; Spindle fibers form  
🗑
What is Metaphase?   Chromosomes move to the center of the cell  
🗑
What is Anaphase?   Chromosomes divide and chromatids separate; Chromosomes are pulled to opposite sides pulled by spindle fibers  
🗑
What is Telophase?   Centrioles and spindle fibers disappear; Chromatids unwind into chromatin; Nuclear membrane reforms  
🗑
What is Cytokinesis?   Cytoplasm in parent cell divides; there are now 2 daughter cells that have DNA identical to the parent cell; This leads to another phase of interphase where the cells divide again... It is a continuous cycle  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
