Cell Cycle
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Cell Cycle (beginning and end) | Begins when the cell is formed. Ends once the cell divides and makes new cells. |
Interphase (three points) | First Cell Cycle stage Before Mitosis begins Chromosomes are copied |
Mitosis Phase 1 (four points) | Prophase Mitosis begins The nuclear membrane dissolves Chromosomes condense into rod-like structures |
Mitosis Phase 2 (two points) | Metaphase The chromosomes line up along the cell equator (center) |
Mitosis Phase 3 (two points) | Anaphase Chromatids separate and move to different sides of cell |
Mitosis Phase 4 (four points) | Telophase The nuclear membrane forms around the two sets of chromosomes The chromosomes unwind Mitosis is complete |
Cytokinesis (two points) | Cells With No Cell Wall: Cell pinches in two Cells With Cell Wall: Cell plate forms between two new cells and makes cell walls and cell membranes |
Homologous Chromosomes (two points) | Have the same gene sequence Have the same structure |
