| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| What takes place during the three stages of cell cycle | Cell growth, replication, and DNA replication |
| Draw and label the cell cycle | see notes |
| How does DNA replicate and accounts for the way it copies itself | It makes a exact copy of itself in the nucleus since the daughter cells need an exact set of DNA to live |
| Cell cycle | the regular sequence of growth and development that a cell undergoes |
| Interphase | the stage of the cell cycle that takes place before cell division occurs |
| Replication | the process of which a cell makes a copy of the DNA in the nucleus |
| mitosis | The stage of the cell cycle that during which the cell’s nucleus divides into two nuclei and one copy of the DNA is distributed into each daughter cell |
| Chromosomes | a double rod of condensed chromatin; that contains DNA that carries genetic information |
| Cytokinesis | the final stage of the cell cycle, in which the cell’s cytoplasm divides distributing the organelles into each of the to new cells |
