Cell Cycle

TermDefinition
Cell Cycle sequence of events from the production of a cell from the time it is produced to the time it reproduces
Mitosis Where the nucleus is duplicated and the chromosomes of a cell divide and are evenly distributed
Interphase Part of the cell cycle in which a cell carries out its metabolic processes and performs its functions in the body
Cytokinesis The cytoplasm of a cell divides into two
Prophase first stage of mitosis and meiosis I and II when the already replicicated chromosomes condense
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 the mew cells created during mitosis and meiosis
Cancer uncontrolled cell division
Reproduction production of offspring by an organism
Chromatin long strands of DNA in the nucleus of a cell during cell interphase
Chromatids two exact copies of DNA that make up a chromosome
Centromere cell structure that joins the two sister chromatin 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 2 sister chromatids connected by a centriole
Spindle cell structures composed of microtubules that aid in the process of cell division by moving the chromatids through the process ofmitosis and meiosis
Aster star shaped structure that forms around the centrioles during cell division
Cleavage Furrow indentations of the cell membrane that form during cytokinesis in an animal cell; eventually makes new cells
Cell Plate precursor to the cell wall that forms during cytokinesis of a plant cell wall creating two new plant cells
Inhibition slows or 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.
