CELL CYCLE

Cards (19)

  • It is an ordered series of events involving cell growth and cell division that produces two new daughter cells.
    Cell Cycle
  • What are the two major phase of Cell Cycle?
    1. Interphase
    2. Mitotic phase
  • During this phase, the cell grows and DNA is replicated.
    Interphase
  • During this phase, the replicated DNA and cytoplasmic contents are separated and the cell divides.
    Mitotic Phase
  • What are the three stages of Interphase?
    1. G1 Phase
    2. S Phase
    3. G2 Phase
  • This is the first stage of interphase, and is called the 'first gap.'
    G1 Phase
  • During this stage of interphase, the centrosome is duplicated.
    S Phase
  • The S Phase is also called as...
    Synthesis phase
  • This stage of interphase involves cell growth and protein synthesis.
    G1 phase
  • During interphase, this stage involves DNA replication and the replication of the centrosome.
    S Phase
  • During interphase, this stage involves further cell growth and protein synthesis.
    G2 Phase
  • This phase ends when mitosis begins.
    G2 phase
  • During this stage of interphase, the cell grows more, makes proteins and organelles, and begins to reorganize its contents in preparation for mitosis.
    G2 phase
  • G2 phase is also called...
    Second Gap Phase
  • During this interphase, chromatin condenses into chromosomes; nuclear envelope breaks down; centrioles move apart and form spindle fibers; spindle attaches to kinetochores on sister chromatids at opposite poles of the cell.
    Prophase
  • During this interphase, sister chromatids line up along the equatorial plane of the cell; spindle fibers attach to kinetochore regions of all chromosomes.
    Metaphase
  • During this interphase, centromeres split, separating sister chromatids; sister chromatids are pulled toward opposite poles by shortening spindle fibers.
    Anaphase
  • During this interphase, nuclear envelopes reform around separated sets of chromosomes; chromosomes begin to uncoil; spindle fibers break down.
    Telophase
  • It is the second part of the mitotic phase during which cell division is completed by the physical separation of the cytoplasmic components into two daughter cells.
