Mitosis Worksheet Study Notes

Mitosis Worksheet Study Notes

• Matching:

  • I (Interphase): The chromatin is found in the nucleus, the cytoplasm is being divided, and the nuclear membrane is present.
  • P (Prophase): The nuclear membrane fades from view, the chromosomes condense, and the spindle forms.
  • M (Metaphase): Chromosomes line up along the equator.
  • A (Anaphase): Sister chromatids move apart.
  • T (Telophase): The nuclear membrane forms around the chromosomes, the spindles disappear, and the cell may begin to pinch in.

• Fill in the Blanks:

  • Cytokinesis (2x): The phase where the cell cytoplasm splits and daughter cells form.
  • Sister Chromatid: One of two identical copies of a chromosome joined at the centromere.
  • Anaphase: Chromatids separate and move to opposite poles during mitosis.
  • Centromere: The structure that holds sister chromatids together.
  • Telophase: The final phase of mitosis, where the nuclear membrane reforms around the separated chromosomes.
  • Metaphase: The phase where chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell.

• Mittic Worksheet-Additional Questions (Page 1):

  • Question 18: Cytokinesis
  • Question 19: Anaphase
  • Question 20: Prophase
  • Question 21: Centromere
  • Question 22: Sister Chromatid
  • Question 23: Telophase (and cytokinesis),
  • Question 24: Interphase
  • Question 25: Cell plate
  • Question 26: Cytokinesis
  • Question 27: Metaphase

• Mitosis Worksheet (Page 2, Diagram Questions):

  • Question 1 (A & D): Prophase
  • Question 2 (Metaphase): The cell where chromosomes are clearly lined up at the equator.
  • Question 3 (First Phase): Prophase (based on diagram)
  • Question 4 (X): Centromere
  • Question 5 (Order): Arrange the cells in order of the stages of mitosis.
  • Question 6 (Plant/Animal): Animal cells, as they don't have a cell plate. Plant cells form a cell plate at telephase.
  • Question 7 (Longest Phase): Interphase.
  • Question 8 (Importance): Mitos is important for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction.
