what is the process by which a cell makes an exact copy of its DNA |
Replication |
|
what are chromatids |
identical strands of chromosomes |
|
What forms around the chromatids during mitosis |
Two nuclei |
|
what is copied during replication |
the cell's DNA |
|
During what stage of the cell cycle does replication occur |
interphase |
|
A DNA molecule is shaped like a |
spiral staircase. |
|
A rung of a DNA strand is made up of |
A pair of nitrogen bases |
|
A cell makes a copy of its DNA during the stage of the cell cycle called mitosis |
False |
|
This stage is the first stage of the cell cycle |
Interphase |
|
This stage contains four phases. |
Mitosis |
|
In plant cells a cell plate forms |
cytokinesis |
|
In this stage the cytoplasm divides and organelles are divide. The parent cell becomes two daughter cells |
cytokinesis |
|
In this stage the cell grows to its full size |
Interphase |
|
In this stage the nucleus turns into two nuclei |
Mitosis |
|
In this stage the cell prepares for division by producing structures it needs |
Interphase |
|
This stage is the final stage of the cell cycle |
cytokinesis |
|
In this stage the DNA makes an exact copy of its self |
Interphase |
|
This stage takes the most time |
Interphase |
|
A rung of a DNA strand is made up of |
A pair of nitrogen bases |
|
Cell makes new ribosomes and produces enzymes |
Intrphase |
|
DNA is found where |
In the nucleus |
|
The nucleus divides into two nuclei in what |
Mitosis |
|
Spindle fibers form a |
bridge shape |
|
The nucular envelope breaks down in |
Prophase |
|
there will be a new nucular envelope forming |
Telophase |
|
The cell membrane pinches in the middle to form |
two new cells |
