Step-by-step solution for: Cell Division and Mitosis Worksheet Answer Key | Semesprit | Cell ...
Problem Analysis:
The image contains a worksheet related to the cell cycle, mitosis, and cancer. The task involves filling in blanks in the text and diagrams to complete the information about these biological processes. Below is a detailed explanation of the solution for each part.
---
Section 1: Telophase
#### Text:
- Blank 1: "membrane reforms"
- During telophase, the nuclear membrane reforms around the newly separated chromosomes.
- Blank 2: "Chromosomes"
- Chromosomes are no longer visible as individual structures because they decondense into chromatin.
- Blank 3: "genetically identical daughter cells are formed."
- Genetically identical means that the DNA in the daughter cells is an exact copy of the parent cell's DNA.
---
Section 2: Cytokinesis
#### Text:
- Blank 1: "Division of cytoplasm"
- Cytokinesis occurs at the same time as telophase and involves the division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells.
---
Section 3: Cancer
#### Text:
- Blank 1: "uncontrolled"
- Cancer is characterized by uncontrolled cell division.
- Blank 2: "controls"
- Mutations cause cells to bypass normal controls that regulate cell division.
- Blank 3: "rest between divisions"
- In cancer, cells do not rest between divisions but continuously divide.
---
Section 4: Cell Cycle Diagram
#### Diagram:
The diagram shows the phases of the cell cycle. Key points to note:
- G1 phase: Growth and preparation for DNA replication.
- S phase: DNA replication occurs.
- G2 phase: Further growth and preparation for mitosis.
- M phase: Mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase) and cytokinesis.
---
Section 5: Checkpoints
#### Text:
- Blank 1: "Checkpoints are controlled by proteins."
- Checkpoints are regulated by specific proteins that monitor the cell cycle and ensure accuracy.
- Blank 2: "S phase"
- The G1 checkpoint determines if the cell is ready for S phase (DNA synthesis).
- Blank 3: "DNA"
- The G2 checkpoint checks DNA replication for accuracy.
- Blank 4: "mitosis"
- If everything is correct, the cell enters mitosis.
- Blank 5: "interphase"
- After mitosis is complete, the cell should enter interphase, which is the first stage of the cell cycle.

Section 6: Mitosis Diagram
#### Diagram:
The diagram illustrates the stages of mitosis:
1. Prophase: Chromosomes condense, and the nuclear envelope breaks down.
2. Metaphase: Chromosomes align at the metaphase plate.
3. Anaphase: Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.
4. Telophase: Nuclear envelopes reform, and chromosomes decondense.
5. Cytokinesis: The cytoplasm divides, forming two daughter cells.

3. Cancer:
- Blank 1: "uncontrolled"
- Blank 2: "controls"
- Blank 3: "rest between divisions"
4. Cell Cycle Diagram:
- No blanks to fill here, but the diagram shows the phases: G1, S, G2, M (mitosis).
5. Checkpoints:
- Blank 1: "proteins"
- Blank 2: "S phase"
- Blank 3: "DNA"
- Blank 4: "mitosis"
- Blank 5: "interphase"
6. Mitosis Diagram:
- No blanks to fill here, but the diagram shows the stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis.
