  • cells - basic unit of life
  • cytoplasm - hold the organelle
  • cell membrane - surround the cytoplasm
  • nucleus - the brain of the cell
  • chromosomes - holds the organism genetics
  • prokaryotes - unicellular
  • eukaryotes - milticullular
  • binary fusion - bacteria reproduce
  • cell cycle - ordered cycle of sell growth
  • cytokinesis - division of cytoplasm
  • interphase - is the nondividing phase
  • gap 1 - primary phase of of cell
  • synthesis - during this time, dna replication occurs
  • gap 2 - preparation for mitosis
  • gap 0 - sells stops dividing and leaves the cell
  • mitosis - the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells
  • nucleotides:
    adenine
    thymine
    guanine
    cytosine
  • dna replication - happens during the s phase
  • prophase - cell is ready to undergo cell division
  • metaphase - all chromosomes gather into a imaginary plane
  • anaphase - sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles of the cell
  • telophase - stage is almost complete
  • meiosis - sexually reproducing organisms that reduces the number of chromosomes in gametes
  • gene - unit of a dna
