GC-Cell Cycle

TermDefinition
Cell Cycle Sequence of growth and division in a cell.
Mitosis Period of nuclear 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 toward opposite ends of the cell.
Telophase Last phase of mitosis. Two 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 the offspring by an organism.
Chromatin Long tangled strands of DNA found in the nucleus of a 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 2 sister chromatids connected by a centromere.
Spindle Cell structure composed of a microtubules that aid in the process of cell division by moving the chromatids through the process.
Aster Star-Shaped structures that forms around the cenroles during cell division composed of microtubules
Cleavage Furrow Indentations of the cell membrane that forms during cytokinesis in an animal cell the cleavage furrow eventually pinches together forming two new cells.
Cell Plate Procursor to the cell wall that forms during cytokinesis of a plant cell eventually forms into a new cell wall, cheating two new plant cells.
Inhibition Slows or stops a process from happpening.
