Cell cycle and division

Cards (58)

  • Prophase: Chromosomes condense, replicate and align at the center of the cell.
  • Anaphase: Sister chromatids separate from one another and move towards opposite poles of the cell.
  • Metaphase: The chromosomes line up along the equatorial plane of the cell.
  • Mitosis is the stage of cell division that produces two daughter cells with identical chromosome numbers to the parent cell.
  • Anaphase: Chromatids separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.
  • Cell growth occurs during interphase, where DNA replication takes place.
  • Metaphase: Chromatids align at the metaphase plate, spindle fibers attach to them.
  • The cell cycle is the process by which cells grow, divide, and reproduce.
  • Telophase: Nuclear envelope reforms around each set of daughter chromosomes, forming two new nuclei.
  • Cytokinesis is the process by which the cytoplasm divides into two new cells during mitotic cell division.
  • Cytokinesis: The cytoplasm divides to form two identical cells with their own organelles.
  • The stages of cytokinesis include cleavage furrow formation, constriction ring contraction, and pinching off of the cytoplasmic bridge.
  • Interphase is the longest phase of the cell cycle, during which the cell grows and prepares for mitosis.
  • The G1 phase involves an increase in size and preparation for DNA synthesis.
  • Telophase: Nuclear envelope reforms around each set of chromosomes, forming two new nuclei.
  • Mitosis is an essential process that allows eukaryotic cells to divide into genetically identical daughter cells.
  • Cytokinesis: Division of cytoplasm into two new cells.
  • G1 Phase - Gap 1: The cell grows and synthesizes proteins needed for DNA replication.
  • During S phase, DNA replicates and duplicates into sister chromatids.
  • Interphase: The longest phase of the cell cycle, where the cell grows and prepares for mitosis.
  • Cytokinesis: Cytoplasm divides into two daughter cells.
  • Interphase: The longest phase of the cell cycle, consisting of G1 (gap), S (synthesis), and G2 phases.
  • Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in gametes (eggs or sperm) by half.
  • Interphase: G1 phase - growth and preparation for DNA synthesis
  • G1 Phase (Gap 1): The first gap phase of the cell cycle, where the cell grows and repairs itself.
  • G2 phase allows time for any necessary repairs or adjustments before mitotic division.
  • Interkinesis (G1 phase): The cell grows and prepares for another round of DNA synthesis.
  • Interphase: The longest phase of the cell cycle, consisting of G1 (gap) phase, S phase (DNA synthesis), and G2 (gap) phase.
  • Mitosis is the stage of the cell cycle where the genetic material (DNA) is duplicated and distributed equally between two daughter cells.
  • Cytokinesis: Division of cytoplasm into two daughter cells.
  • Mitosis is the stage of the cell cycle when the genetic material duplicates and separates equally between two daughter cells.
  • G1 Phase (Gap 1): The cell grows and synthesizes proteins needed for DNA replication.
  • S Phase (Synthesis): The second gap phase of the cell cycle, where DNA synthesis occurs.
  • Telophase: Two nuclei form, nuclear envelopes reform around them, chromosomes uncoil and return to their original state as chromatin.
  • Telophase: Two nuclei form, nuclear envelopes reform around them, chromosomes uncoil and return to their original state as chromatin.
  • Prophase: Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, nuclear membrane breaks down, spindle fibers begin to form, centrioles move apart, and chromatids become attached to microtubules.
  • Prophase: Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, nuclear membrane breaks down, spindle fibers begin to form, centrioles move apart, and chromatids become attached to microtubules.
  • G0 Phase: A resting stage where cells are not actively dividing but can enter interphase at any time.
  • Prophase: Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, nuclear membrane breaks down, centrioles migrate to opposite ends of the cell.
  • Interphase: G1 phase - growth and preparation for DNA replication
