The Cell Cycle Activity: Fill in The Blank

The document describes the cell cycle and mitosis. It includes a diagram of cells at various phases and questions to test understanding of the key terms and processes. The cell cycle consists of interphase, where the cell grows and prepares for division, and mitosis, where the cell nucleus and chromatids separate. Mitosis includes prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Cytokinesis then divides the cytoplasm and forms two daughter cells. The document tests identification of phases, structures like the centromere and spindle fibers, and understanding of the importance of mitosis for cell growth and reproduction.

THE CELL CYCLE ACTIVITY

Fill in the blank: Some will be used more than once.

A. Prophase D. Metaphase G. Chromatid J. Spindle fiber

B. Interphase E. Anaphase H. Cytokinesis K. Cell plate

C. Telophase F. Centromere I. Mitosis

___________1. During what phase of mitosis do centromeres divide and the chromosomes move toward
their respective poles?
___________2. What is the phase where chromatin condenses to form chromosomes?
___________3. What is the name of the structure that connects the two chromatids?
___________4. In a chromosome pair connected by a centromere, what is each individual
chromosome called?
___________5. What are the two parts of cell division?
___________6. What structure forms in prophase along which the chromosomes move?
___________7. Which phase of mitosis is the last phase that chromatids are together?
___________8. Which phase of the cell cycle is characterized by a non-dividing cell?
___________9. What structure is produced when protein fibers radiate from centrioles?
___________10. What forms across the center of a plant cell near the end of telophase?
___________11. The period of cell growth and development between mitotic divisions?

The diagram below shows six cells in various phases of the cell cycle. Note the cells are not arranged
in the order in which the cell cycle occurs. Use the diagram to answer questions 1-7
1. Cells A & F show an early and a late stage of the same phase of the cell cycle. What phase is it?

2. Which cell is in metaphase?


3. Which cell(s) is in the first phase of Mitosis?

4. In cell A, what structure is labeled X?

5. List the diagrams in order from first to last in the cell cycle.

6. What is the longest phase of the cell cycle?

7. a. Are the cells depicted plant or animal cells? Explain your answer.

b. If it were the other type of cell what would be different in the


diagrams?

8. Why is mitosis important?

9. Predict what would happen if an individual had faulty spindle fibers.

10. Predict what would happen if cytokinesis was skipped.


In the picture, identify the following stages in the cell cycle.
