Cell Division and Mitosis Worksheet Exercise 3 Part 3c.

The G1 cell on your mat board presently contains a total of ______ chromosomes, each of which is ______________ stranded. There are ______ pairs of homologous chromosomes in the cell. Because chromosomes are in homologous pairs, G1 cells are ______________. Part 4. Place the four replicated, double stranded chromosomes (strings) on the cell labeled G2 on your mat board. The G2 cell contains a total of ____ chromosomes that represent ____ pairs of homologous chromosomes. Each chromosome in G2 consists of ____ strands called ______________________. Because chromosomes are present in ____________ pairs in G2 cells, cells are still _____________ or 2n. Notice that replication did not change the number of _______________. Exercise 4 Part 1d. Draw a cell in prophase as it appears on the mat board and label the chromosomes, chromatids, and spindle fibers

Part 1e. Summary of prophase: During prophase _______________ become shorter and thicker. The __________ and the ______________ envelope disappear. _________________ fibers, made of ____________________, form a football-shaped structure within the cell. Some microtubules attach to the _______________ of the chromosomes. Because chromosomes are present in homologous pairs during prophase, the cell is ______________ or ___n. Part 2c. Draw a cell in metaphase as it appears on the mat board and label the chromosomes, chromatids, and spindle fibers.

Part 3c. Draw a cell in anaphase as it appears on the mat board and label the chromosomes and spindle fibers.

Part 3d. Summary of metaphase and anaphase: Chromosomes line up single file on the equator during ____________. During _____________ each chromosome splits at its _____________. As a result of this split, identical sister chromatids separate and are now called ______________. The new chromosomes move toward _______________________________, guided by __________________. Part 4c. Draw a cell in telophase as it appears on the mat board and label the chromosomes, nuclear envelope, and daughter cells.

Exercise 5 Part 2. Summary of telophase: Telophase is the final phase of mitosis. During telophase the ___________ envelope reforms and the ________________ reappear within the nucleus. Chromosomes elongate and, once again, are described as ____________________. By the end of telophase the cytoplasm from the original cell usually divides to form daughter cells by a process called __________________________. Exercise 6 Part 1b. Sketch one plant cell in each phase of mitosis from the microscope slide. Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase
