Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks

Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. Make certain each sentence is complete before your answer.

Solution

enzymes needed for cell division are synthesized

G2 phase

cells grow vigorously and are metabolically active

G1 phase.

DNA replicates

Synthetic phase or S phase

Centromeres of chromosomes precisely align at the equator of the spindle

Metaphase

Chromosomes look V-shaped; shortest stage of mitosis

Anaphase

Ring of contractile actin and myosin filaments constrict to pinch the cell into two daughter cells.

Cytokinesis

The cell cycle or cell division cycle is the series of events which take place in a cell so that the cell can produce two daughter cells.

Cell cycle consists of two gap phases (G1 and G2); an S (for synthesis) phase and an M phase.
