| A | B |
| How does DNA become more compact to fit into a cell? | by forming a chromosome |
| What are chromatids? | joined strands of duplicated genetic material |
| What is a centromere? | a protein disk that attaches two chromatids together. |
| What is binary fission? | process by which bacteria reproduce |
| Cell division in a bacterium is called what? | binary fission |
| During cytokinesis what do the two new cells recieve? | an exact copy of all the chromosomes present in the original cell |
| Cytokinesis in plant cells occurs when? | A new cell wall forms |
| what is mitosis? | process by which a cell's nucleus divides |
| Is cytokinesis different in plant and animal cells? | true |
| What are the two phases of the cell cycle? | interphase and mitosis |
| When does each chromosome contain two chromatids? | following replication of its DNA |
| What are the two stages of cell division in bacteria? | DNA is copied and then the cell spllits |
| What is the cell cycle? | sequence of events that occurs in a cell from one mitotic division to the next |
| What is happens in Interphase? | G1 + S + G2 |
| This occurs in prophase | chromosomes coil up into short, fat rods |
| What do plant cells form during cell division? | cell wall in the center of the cell |
| In eukaryotic cells, what takes place after the nucleus divides? | cytokinesis |
| What is nuclear division? | mitosis |
