cell cycle
cytokinesis
mitosis
eukaryotic
binary fission
stem cell
centromere
daughter cells
prokaryotic
interphase
sister chromatids
______________________
At the end of the cell cycle, the division of the cell’s nucleus occurs.
______________________
Until the sister chromatids in each duplicated chromosome separate during
mitosis, they are held together by a protein ‘button’.
______________________
A chromosome is made up of two identical coiled strands of DNA.
______________________
Following mitosis, the division of a cell’s cytoplasm occurs.
______________________
Most cells go through a cyclical process of growth, development and division.
______________________
For most unicellular organisms, identified as those without a nucleus, the cell
cycle might be as short as a few hours or a few days.
______________________
The cell cycle can be divided into two main phases – a period of growth and
development and the mitotic phase.
______________________
Mitosis and cytokinesis result in the formation of two identical new cells.
______________________
For some cells, identified as those with membrane-bound nucleus, the cell cycle
might take as long as one year.
______________________
Prokaryotic cell division is asexual reproduction producing two identical daughter
cells.
______________________
A fertilized egg is a single undifferentiated cell.
Name the levels of organization:
cells < ____________________ < ______________________ < _______________________ < organism

Unspecialized plant cells are called… ________________________
Draw the main phases or stages of the cell cycle as pie slices, each representing the proportional time of the
phase. Name the phase and describe what happens in words.
Draw each phase or stage of mitosis. Name the phase and describe what happens in words.
