Mitosis

Cell division

TermDefinition
CENTROMERE The region of a chromosome to which the microtubules of the spindle attach, via the kinetochore, during cell division.
CYCLIN Protein that regulates the cell cycle, then acts as a signal letting the cell know when to pass to the next cell cycle phase.
INTERPHASE Is the preparation period between cell divisions containing (G₁, S, and G₂ phases).
ANAPHASE A process that separates (divides) the duplicated DNA of a parent cell.
CELL CYCLE The series of events that take place in a cell leading to duplication of its DNA and division of the cytoplasm.
CELL DIVISION Is the process by which a single "parent cell" divides into two or more daughter cells.
METAPHASE Stage where chromosomes "meet in the middle" before being separated into chromatids, and placed into the daughter cells.
TELOPHASE Begins once the replicated, paired chromosomes have been separated & pulled to opposite sides of the cell (just before it splits into 2 new cells).
CENTRIOLE Is near the nucleus in animal cells, occurring in "PAIRS" and involved in the "development of spindle fibers" in cell division.
SPINDLE Composed of microtubules which segregates chromosomes into the daughter cells during mitosis.
CYTOKINESIS The cytoplasmic division of a cell at the end of mitosis.
CANCER Essentially a disease of mitosis - the normal 'checkpoints' regulating mitosis are ignored by the cancer cells. They divide faster than other cells.
PROPHASE Is the 1st stage of cell division where the chromosomes become visible as "paired" chromatids and the nuclear envelope disappears.
CHROMATID Is ONE the two threadlike strands into which a chromosome divides longitudinally during cell division.
MITOSIS Is a part of the cell cycle when replicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei. ( AKA: Division of the cell's nucleus).

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

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.
