the cell cycle

Cards (7)

  • Interphase is the longest phase of the cell cycle, where the cell grows and prepares for division.
  • During interphase, the chromosomes and everything in the cell are copied.
  • mitosis is where the chromosomes line up in the centre and are then pulled apart as the cell begins to divide and the nucleus divides.
  • cytokinesis is when the cytoplasm divides and a new cell membrane forms, resulting in two daughter cells.
  • The type of cell division that happens during growth and repair is mitosis.
  • bacteria multiply by simple cell division, which is called binary fission. Everything in the cell is copied.
  • Cells need energy from respiration or photosynthesis to carry out the processes involved in the cell cycle.
