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 |
