Phases of the cell cycle

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
mitosis   divison of the nucleus  
🗑
interphase   the cell grows and prepares to divide  
🗑
cytokinesis   division of the cytoplasm  
🗑
G1, S, G2   3 parts of interphase  
🗑
cell cycle   series of events in which the cell grows and divides  
🗑
cell division   mitosis & cytokinesis when 2 indentical cells are made  
🗑
G1   first part of interphase when the cell grows  
🗑
S   DNA replicates  
🗑
G2   organelles are made  
🗑
G0   checkpoints that the cell goes through  
🗑
somatic   body cells in which mitosis occurs  
🗑
4 stages of mitosis   prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase (PMAT)  
🗑
Prophase   chromosomes become visible, nuclear membrane and nucleolus disappear, centrioles start making spindle fibers  
🗑
Metaphase   chromosomes line up in the middle  
🗑
Anaphase   sister chromatids are pulled apart and move towards opposite poles  
🗑
Telophase   chromosomes reach opposite poles, chromosomes decondense or unwind, nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappear  
🗑
Sister chromatids   two identical parts of a chromosome  
🗑
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.  
🗑
skin, hair, and nails   integumentary system  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
