The reproduction of a cell through duplication of the genome and division of cytoplasm.
a) Chromatin
b) Cell Divison
c) Cell plate
d) Cytokinesis

Threadlike, gene-carrying structure found in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell and most visible during mitosis and meiosis.
a) Chromosome
b) Centromere
c) Cleavage furrow
d) Mitotic Spindle

Creation of genetically identical offspring by a single parent, without participation of sperm and egg.
a) Sexual reproduction
b) Mitosis
c) Asexual reproduction
d) Cell Cycle

Creation of genetically unique offspring by fusion of two haploid sex cells (gametes).
a) Sexual reproduction
b) Asexual reproduction
c) Cell Cycle
d) Mitosis

Means of asexual reproduction in which a parent organism, often single cell, divides into two genetically identical individuals of about equal size.
a) Binary fission
b) asexual reproduction
c) sexual reproduction
d) mitosis

Combination of DNA and proteins that constitutes eukaryotic chromosomes
a) Chromosomes
b) Gene
c) Chromatin
d) Mitotic Spindle

One of the two identical parts of a duplicated chromosome in a eukaryotic cell
a) Chromatin
b) Sister Chromatids
c) Gene
d) Chromosome

Region of a duplicated chromosome where two sister chromatids are joined.
a) Chromosome
b) Centromere
c) Mitotic Spindle
d) Equator

Ordered sequence of events that extends from the time a eukaryotic cell is first formed from a dividing parent cell to its own division into two cells.
a) Cell Cycle
b) Mitosis
c) Asexual reproduction
d) Sexual reproduction

Period in eukaryotic cell cycle when the cell is not actually dividing and is where the cell spends the majority of its time.
a) Prophase
b) Prometaphase
c) Telophase
d) Interphase

Part of the cell cycle when the nucleus divides (mitosis), its chromosomes are distributed to daughter nuclei, and cytoplasm divides (cytokinesis) production two daughter cells.
a) Mitotic phase
b) G phase
c) Interphase
d) Telophase

Division of a single nucleus into two genetically identical nuclei.
a) Interphase
b) Mitosis
c) Cytokinesis
d) Meiosis

Division of cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells.
a) Cytokinesis
b) Telophase
c) Mitosis
d) Cell Cycle

First stage of mitosis, during which chromatin condenses to form structures visible with a light microscope and mitotic spindle begins to form, but nucleus is still intact.
a) Interphase
b) Metaphase
c) Prophase
d) Anaphase

Second stage of mitosis, during which nuclear envelope fragments and spindle microtubules attach to kinteochores of sister chromatids.
a) Prometaphase
b) Prophase
c) Interphase
d) Anaphase

Third stage of mitosis, during which all cell’s duplicated chromosomes are lined up at imaginary plane equally between the poles of the mitotic spindle.
a) Prophase
b) Anaphase
c) Prometaphase
d) Metaphase

Fourth stage of mitosis, beginning when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of two poles of the cell.
a) Anaphase
b) Telophase
c) Prophase
d) Cytokinesis

Fifth and final stage of mitosis, during which daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell.
a) Cytokinesis
b) Telophase
c) Anaphase
d) Interphase

Football-shaped structure formed of microtubules and associated proteins that is involved in movement of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis.
a) Mitotic Spindle
b) Chromatids
c) Centromeres
d) Kinetochores

Material in cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell that gives rise to microtubules; also called microtubule-organizing center.
a) Chromatin
b) Centrosome
c) Mitotic Spindle
d) Kinetochore
