AB-The Cell Cycle

TermDefinition
Cell Cycle Sequence of growth and division in a cell.
Mitosis Period of nuclear cell division in which two daughter cells are formed, each containing a complete set of chromosomes.
Interphase Period of cell growth.
Cytokinesis Division of the cytoplasm.
Prophase The first and longest phase of mitosis; chromatin coils into visible chromosomes, the nuclear envelope disappears, and the spindle forms.
Metaphase Second phase of mitosis; chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell.
Anaphase Third phase of mitosis; chromosomes split and are pulled apart towards opposite ends of the cell.
Telophase Last phase of mitosis; two new nuclei are formed and the chromosomes uncoil.
Daughter Cell Term used to describe the new cells created during mitosis and meiosis.
Cancer Uncontrolled cell division.
Reproduction Production of offspring by an organism.
Chromatin Long, tangled strands of DNA found in the nucleus of the cell during interphase.
Chromatids Two exact copies of DNA that make up a chromosome.
Centromere Cell structure that joins the two sister chromatids of a chromosome.
Chromosome Cell structure that carries the genetic material that is copied and passed from generation to generation of a cell; consists of two sister chromatids connected by a centromere
Spindle Cell structures composed of microtubules that aid in the process of cell division by moving the chromatids through the process.
Aster Star-shaped structure that forms around the centrioles during cell division; composed of microtubules.
Cleavage Furrow Indentations in the cell membrane that form during cytokinesis in an animal cell; the cleavage furrow eventually pinches together, forming two new cells.
Cell Plate Precursor to the cell wall that forms during cytokinesis of a plant cell; eventually forms into a new cell wall, creating two new plant cells.
Inhibition Slows of stops a process from happening.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
