Download Unit 6: Mitosis Review Sheet

Name:
Biology Unit 7 – Mitosis
Study Guide
1. In what phase of mitosis do the centrioles separate?
2. In what phase of mitosis does the cell membrane pinch completely together so that the single cell is
separated into two daughter cells?
3. In what phase of mitosis do the spindle fibers form?
4. In what phase of mitosis do the chromosomes lose their distinct form and once again appear as a mass
of chromatin?
5. In what phase of mitosis does the cell membrane begin to pinch together in the cell’s center?
6. Describe the genetic material found in a cell in interphase.
What does it look like?
What is it called at this point?
7. If a cell has 46 chromosomes at the start of interphase, after mitosis how many chromosomes will each
daughter cell have?
8. Why do cells divide? (Think about the agar lab)
9. In what phase of the cell cycle do the chromosomes replicate?
10. In what stage of the cell cycle does the nuclear membrane reform?
11. In what stage of mitosis do the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell?
12. In what stage of the cell cycle is the cell performing its regular functions?
13. In what stage of the cell cycle do cells spend most of their time in?
