Cell Cycle Worksheet 2

1. The document is a practice worksheet for students on the cell cycle and mitosis. 2. It contains fill-in-the-blank questions that test students' knowledge of the key terms and events of interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis such as prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, chromatin, chromosomes, centromere, and spindle fibers. 3. The questions cover topics like the stages of interphase, the phases of mitosis where chromosomes move and separate, and how plant and animal cells divide their cytoplasm in cytokinesis.

Cell Cycle and Mitosis Practice:
Fill-in-Blank
Directions: Using the word bank below, choose and write the words that fit into each of
the blanks.

Word Bank A: DNA Structure and Cell Cycle

A. daughter F. surface area K. cell division P. S


B. volume G. DNA L. G₂
C. nucleus H. binary fission M. interphase
D. chromatids I. cell cycle N. G₁
E. chromosomes J. centromere O. chromatin

1. To make large organisms (ex: plants and animals), cells divide because they cannot
continue to grow forever. One reason they cannot grow forever is they will not have
enough __________ to control a massive cell’s activities.

2. Another reason cells cannot grow forever is that the _______________ of their
membrane does not increase as quickly as the ________________, which limits the
necessary transport of materials into and out of the cell.

3. During prokaryotic cell division, DNA is copied and divided into two identical
____________ cells. This process is called ______________________.

4. In eukaryotic cells, cell division is a little more complicated. In these cells, DNA is
found in the ____________.

5. Uncoiled DNA and proteins are called ______________________, which coils up


during cell division to form ____________________.

6. Each chromosome has two identical sections of DNA called ______________ that
are connected at a region called the _________________________. These identical
sections of DNA must separate during cell division.

7. The events that make up the life of a cell are called the _____________________.
The two main parts of this cycle are __________________ and
___________________.

8. During interphase, there are three stages. During the __________ phase, the cell
grows. During the ___________ phase, the genetic material (DNA) of the cell is
copied. During the ____________ phase, the cell prepares for division.
Word Bank B: Cell Division

A. prophase E. mitotic spindle I. cleavage furrow


B. metaphase F. mitosis J. nuclear membrane
C. anaphase G. centromere K. cytokinesis
D. telophase H. centrioles L. cell plate

9. Cell division involves two parts, mitosis and cytokinesis. ____________________ is


division of the nucleus, and _______________ is division of the cytoplasm.

10. During _________________, the _____________________ breaks down and


chromatin coils into chromosomes.

11. In this stage, the _____________________ also begins to form when proteins
called microtubules grow from structures at either end of the cell
called______________________.

12. During ___________________, spindle fibers arrange chromosomes at the center


of the cell along a line called the metaphase plate. Spindle fibers attach to
chromosomes at the ___________________.

13. During _______________________, spindle fibers pull apart chromatids and carry
new daughter chromosomes to opposite ends of the dividing cell.

14. During ______________________, two nuclear membranes reform, chromosomes


uncoil, and the mitotic spindle breaks down. At this point, nuclear division is
complete.

15. After mitosis, the cytoplasm divides in a process called cytokinesis. In animal cells,
the cell membrane pinches in to form a _____________________. In plant cells, a
_________________ forms between the two new daughter cells.
Identify the phases in the cell cycle and give significant activities/events in each phase.
