Question

name
cell division
identify: use the word bank to identify each term described.
mother cell interphase cytokinesis prophase
meiosis mitosis daughter cells binary fission
anaphase diploids metaphase telophase

1. the chromosomes separate and move to the

opposite sides of the cell in this phase of mitosis

1. the normal state of a cell
2. the splitting of the cells in mitosis
3. process that makes an exact copy of a cell
4. process used when it is time for an entire

organism to reproduce

1. original cell
2. the cell walls pinch off and split down the middle

during this phase of mitosis

1. the new cells produced
2. cells produced from mitosis because they have

two complete sets of chromosomes

1. first step of mitosis
2. part of mitosis when the chromosomes line up
3. cell division process for simple organisms

Explanation:

1. In anaphase of mitosis, chromosomes separate and move to opposite sides.
2. Interphase is the "normal" state of a cell.
3. Cytokinesis is the splitting of cells in mitosis.
4. Mitosis makes an exact copy of a cell.
5. Meiosis is used for organism reproduction.
6. Mother cell is the original cell.
7. Telophase involves cell - wall pinching off.
8. Daughter cells are the new cells produced.
9. Diploids have two chromosome sets (from mitosis).
10. Prophase is the first mitosis step.
11. Metaphase has chromosomes lining up.
12. Binary fission is for simple - organism cell division.

Answer:

1. anaphase
2. interphase
3. cytokinesis
4. mitosis
5. meiosis
6. mother cell
7. telophase
8. daughter cells
9. diploids
10. prophase
11. metaphase
12. binary fission
