Cell Cycle

QuestionAnswer
Cell Cycle events in the life of a cell that results in growth, duplication of DNA in order to produce new cells
G1 phase of cell growth prior to cell division; occurs during interphase
S DNA replicates(synthesis)
G2 DNA copy is checked for mistakes more cytoplasm and organelles are made
G0 cell performs normal function but does not divide; checkpoint occurs and some cells remove themselves from the cell cycle
Interphase the cell grows and prepares to divide; includes G phases and S phase
Mitosis division of the nucleus
Prophase chromosomes become visible, nuclear membrane and nucleolus disappear, centrioles start making spindle fibers (PREPARE)
Metaphase chromosomes line up in the middle(equator) (MIDDLE)
Anaphase sister chromatids are pulled apart and move towards opposite poles (AWAY)
Telophase chromosomes reach opposite poles, chromosomes decondense or unwind, nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappear(TWO)
Cytokinesis division of cytoplasm to create two new daughter cells formed; occurs after mitosis
Somatic Cells all cells except sex cells (also known as gamete like sperm and egg); diploid cells; result of mitosis
Sister chromatids two identical parts of a chromosome(two left shoes)
centromere connects the sister chromatids together
cell plate forms during cytokinesis in a plant cell
cancer uncontrolled cell growth because cells do not go through G0 and the cycle repeats.
4 stages of mitosis Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase (PMAT)

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
