Cell Cycle & Mitosis

Review of Cell Cycle and Mitosis

QuestionAnswer
DNA gets copied in the cell cycle S phase
phases of cell growth in the cell cycle GI and G2 phase
"resting" phase ; describe a cell not dividing G0 phase
2nd step of mitosis ; chromosomes line up in center of cell metaphase
G1, S, G2 together called this interphase
3rd step of mitosis; sister chromatids move to opposite poles in the cell anaphase
division of the cytoplasm after mitosis cytokinesis
division of the nucleus mitosis
how many and type of cells made in mitosis 2 identical daughter cells
last stage of mitosis ; nuclear membrane reforms telophase
1st step of mitosis; nucleus starts to disappear and chromosomes form "X" shape prophase
holds 2 sister chromatids together centromere
helps divided chromosomes only in animal cells centrioles
"strings" that move and divide chromosomes in mitosis spindle fibers
means 2 sets of chromosomes diploid
fast and uncontrolled cell growth and division cancer
when 3 critical checkpoints happen near the end of G1 , G2, and mitosis
reasons that cells divide instead of get larger too hard to remove waste and receive nutrients (food)
number of chromosomes in human body (somatic) cells 46
programmed cell death ; self-destruction that prevents cancer apoptosis
cells that can develop into any cell in the body [is undifferentiated] stem cells
stem cells that are NOT controversial ; can only develop into some cells somatic (adult) stem cells
stem cells that are controversial; can develop into ANY cell in the human body embryonic stem cells
means to become specialized ; from unspecialized to having a specific function differentiate
