MITOSIS AND THE CELL CYCLE Use the figure below to answer questions 17 through 20. Circle the letter of the best answer for each question. Mitosis Phase 1 Mitosis Phase 2 Mitosis Phase 3 Mitosis Phase 4 17. Look at the figure. When does mitosis begin and the chromosomes condense into rodlike structures? 18. Look at the figure. When do the chromatids separate and move to opposite sides of the cell? 19. Look at the figure. When does a nuclear membrane form around each set of chromosomes, completing mitosis? 20. Look at the figure. When do the chromosomes line up, and the homologous chromosomes pair up? Holt Science and Technology 23 The Cell in Action

TEACHER RESOURCE PAGE 6. prokaryotic 7. eukaryotic 8. prokaryotic 9. eukaryotic 10. prokaryotic 11. binary fission 12. the circle of DNA 13. DNA 14. 46, 8, 48 15. homologous chromosomes 16. Homologous chromosomes have the same sequence of genes and the same structure 17. organelles, chromosomes 18. chromatids 19. mitosis 20. Chromatids are held together at a region called the centromere. 21. The cell grows and copies its organelles and chromosomes. The chromosomes split into copies called chromatids.the chromatids twist into an X shape. 22. During the second stage of the cell cycle, the chromatids come apart. This separation is called mitosis. 23. During the third stage of the cell cycle, the cell divides into two cells that are identical to each other and to the original cell. 24. B 25. Phase 3 26. Phase 2 27. Interphase 28. Phase 4 29. Phase 1 30. Cytokinesis 31. In eukaryotic cells that do not have cell walls, the cell membrane pinches inward until it divides the cytoplasm and splits the cell in two. 32. 3 33. 1 34. 2 Directed Reading B SECTION : EXCHANGE WITH THE ENVIRONMENT 1. energy and raw materials 2. cell membrane 3. healthy 4. wastes 5.
