ER - The Cell Cycle

TermDefinition
Cell Cycle sequence of growth and division cell
Mitosis period of nuclear cell division in which two daughter cells are formed each containing a complete set of chromosomes
Interphase the period of the cell cycle during which the nucleus is not undergoing division, typically occurring between mitotic or meiotic divisions.
Cytokinesis the division of the cell cytoplasm that usually follows mitotic or meiotic division of the nucleus.
Prophase the stage in mitosis or meiosis in which the duplicated chromosomes line up along the equatorial plate of the spindle.
Anaphase the final stage of meiosis or mitosis, in which the separated chromosomes reach the opposite poles of the dividing cell and the nuclei of the daughter cells form around the two sets of chromosomes.
Daughter Cell Either of the two identical cells that form when a cell divides.
Cancer uncontrolled cell division
Reproduction the natural process among organisms by which new individuals are generated and the species perpetuated.
Chromatin the readily stainable substance of a cell nucleus, consisting of DNA, RNA, and various proteins, that forms chromosomes during cell division.
Chromatids one of two identical chromosomal strands into which a chromosome splits longitudinally preparatory to cell division.
Centromere a specialized structure on the chromosome, appearing during cell division as the constricted central region where the two chromatids are held together and form an X shape.
Chromosome any of several threadlike bodies, consisting of chromatin, that carry the genes in a linear order: the human species has 23 pairs, designated 1 to 22 in order of decreasing size and X and Y for the female and male sex chromosomes respectively.
Spindle cell structure composed of microtubules that aid in the process of cell division by moving the chromatids through the process
Aster a structure formed in a cell during mitosis, composed of astral rays radiating about the centrosome.
Cleavage furrow indentations of the cell membrane that forms during cytokinesis in an animal cell, the cleavage furrow eventually pinches together forming the two new cells
Cell plate a plate that develops at the midpoint between the two groups of chromosomes in a dividing cell and that is involved in forming the wall between the two new daughter cells.
Inhibition slows or stops something 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.
