rosaleah-cell cycle

TermDefinition
cell cycle Sequence of events from the production of a eukaryotic cell to the time the cell itself reproduces.
Mitosis Process by which the nucleus and duplicated chromosomes of a cell divide and are evenly distributed, forming two daughter nuclei.
Interphase Stage of the cell cycle during which a cell carries out its metabolic processes and performs its function in the body.
Cytokinesis Process by which the cytoplasm of a cell is divided in two; usually follows mitosis and meiosis.
Prophase First stage of mitosis and of meiosis 1 and 2, when the already replicate chromosomes condense.
Metaphase Second stage of mitosis and of meiosis 1 and 2 when the spindle is fully formed and all of the chromosomes are held in place.
Anaphase Third phase of mitosis and of meiosis 1 and 2, in which the sister chromatids separate and move toward the poles of the spindle.
Telophase Final stage of mitosis and of meiosis 1 and 2, in which the chromosomes reach the spindle poles, nuclear envelopes form around each set of daughter chromosomes, and the nucleoli reappear.
Daughter cell
Cancer Disease caused by severe disruption of the mechanisms that normally control the cell cycle.
Reproduction
Chromatin Combination of DNA and protein molecules, in the form of long, thin fibers, making up the genetic material in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell.
Chromatids
Centromere Region where two sister chromatids are joined tightly together.
Chromosome Condensed threads of genetic material formed from chromatin as a cell prepares to divide.
