mitosis

QuestionAnswer
chromosome Cell structures that carry the genetic material that is copied and passed from generation to generation
chromatin Long strands of DNA that is found in the eukaryotic nucleus; condense to form chromosomes
cell cycle Continuous cycle of growth and division in a cells
interphase Cell growth phase where a cell increases in size, carries on metabolism and duplicates chromosomes prior to division
mitosis Period of cell division in which two daughter cells are formed, each containing a complete set of chromosomes
prophase The first and longest phase of mitosis where chromatin coils into visible chromosomes
sister chromatid Identical halves of duplicated parent chromosomes formed during the prophase stage of mitosis, held together by centromeres
centromere Cell structure that joins together two sister chromatids of a chromosomes
centriole In animal cells a pair of small cylindrical structures composed of microtubules that duplicate during interphase and move to opposite ends of the cell during prophase
spindle cell structures composed of tubular fibers, that form between the centrioles during prophase and shorten during anaphase pulling apart sister chromatids
metaphase short second phase of mitosis where doubled chromosomes move to the equator of the spindle and chromatids are attached by centromeres to a separate spindle fiber
anaphase third stage of mitosis in which the centromeres split and the chromatid pairs of each chromosomes are pulled apart by the microtubules
telophase final phase of mitosis during which new cells prepare for their independent existance
cytokinesis cell process in which the cell's cytoplasm divides and separates into new cells
tissue groups of cells that work together to perform a specific function
organ groups of two or more tissues organized to perform complex activities within an organism
organ system multiple organs that work together to perform a specific life function
cancer uncontrolled cell division that may be caused by environmental factors and or changes in enzyme production in the cell cycle
gene segment of DNA that that controls the protein production and cell cycle

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
