SBio Cell Cycle
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Part of the cell cycle where the cell does its job, copies the DNA, and grows as it prepares to divide. | Interphase |
| Part of the cell cycle where the cell's genetic material divides. | Mitosis |
| Part of the cell cycle when the cytoplasm divides forming 2 identical daughter cells. | Cytokinesis |
| What are the 4 phases of Mitosis in order? | Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase |
| 1st stage of mitosis; the nuclear membrane disappears and the DNA condenses into chromosomes (X's). | Prophase |
| 2nd stage of mitosis; chromosomes line-up down the cell equator (in the MIDDLE). | Metaphase |
| 3rd stage of mitosis; chromosomes are pulled APART to different poles of the cell. | Anaphase |
| 4th stage of mitosis; the nuclear membrane reappears, chromosomes decondense (uncoil), and the cleavage furrow forms. | Telophase |
| Part of the cell that aids in cell division (they look like little T's). | Centrioles |
| DNA in its condensed form. | Chromosome |
| String-like structures coming from the centrioles that attach to the chromosomes to pull them apart. | Spindle fibers |
| Site where the cell starts to pinch off during Telophase. | Cleavage furrow |
| Only seen in plant cells during Telophase, the part of the cell that becomes a new cell wall. | Cell plate |
| Site on a chromosome where the spindle fibers attach. | Centromere |
| 6 letter phase to remember the steps of the cell cycle in order. | I P M A T C |
| End result of the cell cycle. | 2 identical daughter cells |
