Cell Cycle
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Prophase | The nuclear membrane starts to degenerate, the chromatin condenses into individual chromosomes (1st phase) |
Metaphase | Start to see sister chromatids attach to the spindle fibers and line up along the equator of the cell |
G 1 Phase | Initial growth phase during which the cell grows, develops, and carries out activities specific to the cell type |
Cleavage Furrow | Divot between two cells |
Interphase | Cell does its normal daily activities: growth, protein synthesis, cellular respiration, etc. |
Anaphase | Spindle fiber shorten, pulls centromeres apart, sister chromatids migrate to the opposite ends |
G2 Phase | second growth stage, cell makes final preparations for cell division |
Centrioles and Mitotic Spindles | Forms during prophase in this they begin migrating to opposite poles of the cells |
S Phase | Period in which the cell's DNA is replicated |
Homologous Chromosomes | Chromosomes, humans have 23 pairs of them |
Cytokinesis | the cell elongates |
Sister Chromatids | homologous chromosomes, set of "identical twins" |
Telophase | divot forms between the two cells (cleavage furrow), cell pinches into two identical daughter cells |
Mitosis | Cellular Division |
Daughter Cells | The two new cells after mitosis |
G 0 Phase | atomic cells: said to be in the "G not" phase |
