Cell
division
- It's the process by which a cell divides to form two new
cells
Binary
fission
- Divides forming two new identical cells
Mitosis
- Cell or organism growth
Replacement or repair of damaged cells
Meiosis
- formation of sex cells, or gametes
DNA
Replication
- DNA is copied resulting into two identical chromosomes
Chromosome Segregation - Chromosomes separate and move towards ends (poles) of cell
Cytokinesis
(Separation) - Cytoplasm divides forming two (2) cells
Eukaryotic
cell
division
- Cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent cell
Eukaryotic cell division cont. - Cell division that results in four daughter cells
Cell
cycle
The sequence of events from the time a cell first arises as a result of cell division
until the time when that cell itself divides.
Arise - Divide
Cell after division begins a new cycle
Interphase
period of growth and DNA
replication between cell divisions
G1
Phase
Cell increases in size
S
Phase
Replication of DNA - Two sister strands of DNA called chromatids are produced
G2
Phase
Organelles double
New cytoplasm forms
All other structures needed for mitosis form
Early
prophase
Chromatids condense becoming chromosomes
Nucleolus disappears
Centrioles separate and start moving to opposite ends of the cell
Spindle begins to form
Late
prophase
The nuclear membrane fragments and the microtubules invade the nuclear area
Centrioles have moved to the opposite poles
The spindle is completely formed
Metaphase
The chromosomes are aligned
at the metaphase plate
Centrioles move at polar ends and projects spindle fibers to connect each chromosome
Anaphase
The paired chromosomes (sister chromatids) separate
Separated chromatids move to opposite pole
Partial division of cytoplasm begins
Telophase
Chromosomes are at the poles
Chromosomes uncoil-turn chromatin
Nuclear envelops reforms
Spindle fiber disappear
Cytokinesis
Occurs at the end of mitosis
