The number of chromosomes in a gamete is the:
monoploid number
meiosis phase number
homolog number
diploid number
During cell division a chromosome is made of two distinct strands called
chromatids
centromeres
homologs
daughter cells
Cell size is an important factor in causing a cell to divide because a cells
volume does not grow as fast as its surface area
surface area does not grow as fast as its volume
need for materials to be moved across its membrane is reduced
shape changes often
surface area does not grow as fast as its volume

anaphase
When the DNA in a cell is uncoiled and spread throughout the nucleus it is called:
cromatin
chromatids
chromosomes
Structure present in the cytoplasm of an animal cell that is the organizing center of the mictrotubules in which the assembly of the spindle microtubules begins is:
centrosome
aster
centropyge
cyclin
Structure of proteins that forms at the centromere of each chromatid and helps attach the mitotic spindle to each sister chromatid is called:
Kinetochores
