cells
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| cell cycle | process of cell growth and division |
| interphase | period of growth and DNA replication in the cell cycle |
| replication | process by which a cell makes exact copies of its D.N.A. |
| mitosis | dividing the cell's DNA during cell division results in two IDENTICAL daughter cells |
| chromosomes | there made of DNA that carry genetic instruction |
| cytokinesis | dividing the cytoplasm at the end of cell division |
| what takes place during the three stages of a cell cycle | interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis |
| explain D.N.A. replication and how it accounts for the way it copies itself | its a copy machine step for the cell's instruction manual a.k.a. D.n.A. , The cells DNA "unzips" and each original strand serves as a template |
| draw/ label the cell cycle | see notes |
