As in most areas of biology, the study of mitosis and the cell cycle involves a lot of new terminology. Knowing what the different terms mean is essential to understanding and describing the processes occurring in the cell.
Fill the blanks with terms below to correctly complete the following sentences.

CYTOKINESIS, SISTER CHROMATID(S), CENTROSOME(S), CHROMATIN, CENTROMERE(S), KINETOCHORE(S), INTERPHASE, MITOTIC SPINDLE(S).

1. DNA replication produces two identical DNA molecules, called , which separate during mitosis.
2. After chromosomes condense, the is the region where the identical DNA molecules are most tightly attached to each other.
3. During mitosis, microtubules attach to chromosomes at the .
4. In dividing cells, most of the cell's growth occurs during .
5. The is a cell structure consisting of microtubules, which forms during early mitosis and plays a role in cell division.
6. During interphase, most of the nucleus is filled with a complex of DNA and protein in a dispersed form called .
7. In most eukaryotes, division of the nucleus is followed by , when the rest of the cell divides.
8. The are the organizing centers for microtubules involved in separating chromosomes during mitosis.

1. DNA replication produces two identical DNA molecules, called sister chromatids, which separate during mitosis.

2. After chromosomes condense, the centromeres is the region where the identical DNA molecules are most tightly attached to each other.

3. During mitosis, microtubules attach to chromosomes at the Kinetochores.

4. In dividing cells, most of the cell's growth occurs during Interphase

5. The mitotic spindle is a cell structure consisting of microtubules, which forms during early mitosis and plays a role in cell division.

6. During interphase, most of the nucleus is filled with a complex of DNA and protein in a dispersed form called ,chromatin.

7. In most eukaryotes, division of the nucleus is followed by cytokinesis, when the rest of the cell divides.

8. The centrosomes are the organizing centers for microtubules involved in separating chromosomes during mitosis.

"menstrual cycle is a complex cycle that consists of several processes. order of occurrence of steps in menstrual cycle are as follows:

1. high progesterone levels maintain the endometrium lining of the uterus.

2. endometrium lining breaks down and low levels of estrogen stimulate the pituitary to release fsh and lh.

3. fsh and lh stimulates the follicles to develop and the oocyte to produce estrogen.

4. rising estrogen levels suppress fsh production and development of other follicles.

5. a spike in lh causes follicle to rupture.

6. a breakdown of corpus luteum causes progesterone level to drop."

atp is used for energy.
