Question 7

Interphase

Answer 7

the “daily living” or metabolic phase of the cell, in which the cell obtains nutrients and metabolizes them, grows, replicates its DNA in preparation for mitosis, and conducts other “normal” cell functions

Question 8

Mitosis (PMAT)

Answer 8

the process by which a cell replicates its chromosomes and then segregates them, producing two identical nuclei in preparation for cell division

Question 9

Cytokinesis

Answer 9

the physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells

Question 10

Meiosis

Answer 10

• makes gametes or sex cells
• produces 4 genetically different haploid cells
