varioius phases of cell cycle and definitions

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
The Cell Cycle   a regular sequence of growth and division that cells go through; allows you to regenerate tissue and grow  
🗑
Interphase   the longest part of the Cell Cycle, where the cell grows it its full size, DNA replicates (doubles) they spend 90% of the Cell Cycle in Interphase  
🗑
Mitosis   the division of the nucleus; broken into 4 parts: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase  
🗑
Prophase   the first part of Mitosis; chromatin condenses (coils) into chromosomes, the nuclear membrane disappears, and spindle fibers form  
🗑
Metaphase   the second part of Mitosis; spindle fibers attach to centromeres and chromosomes line up down the middle of the cell  
🗑
Anaphase   the third part of Mitosis; spindle fibers that were attached to the centromeres pull apart the sister chromatids; other spindle fibers stretch the cell  
🗑
Telophase   the last part of Mitosis; the nuclear membrane reforms within each newly-formed daughter cell, chromatids uncoil into chromatin, and Cytokinesis begins  
🗑
Cytokinesis   the division of the cytoplasm; begins during Telophase; for animal cells, a furrow forms that bundles the spindle fibers into a stem body that is pinched in two when the cell is pinched in two daughter cells  
🗑
Chromosome   A tightly coiled form of DNA found during Mitosis  
🗑
Chromatid   ½ of a chromosome  
🗑
furrow   the segment of an animal cell that results from the pinching in of the parent cell during Cytokinesis  
🗑
stem body   the bundle of spindle fibers that is created by the furrow during Cytokinesis in animal cells  
🗑
vesicle   a temporary organelle in plant cell Cytokinesis that contains cell wall and cell membrane material  
🗑
cell plate   the result of vesicles fusing together in plant cell Cytokinesis  
🗑


   

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.
