Cellular reproduction

Cards (11)

  • The cell cycle is the series of events that occur within a eukaryotic cell from its birth to division.
  • Interphase is the longest phase of the cell cycle, during which the cell grows and prepares for mitosis.
  • G1 Phase - The first gap phase where the cell grows and synthesizes proteins needed for DNA replication.
  • S Phase - The second gap phase where DNA replicates.
  • Cytokinesis - The final stage of mitosis when the cytoplasm divides to form two new cells.
  • Mitosis - The process by which one parent cell divides into two daughter cells.
  • Mitosis is the process by which one parent cell divides into two daughter cells.
  • Meiosis - A type of cell division that produces four genetically different haploid cells (gametes) from a single diploid cell.
  • Prophase - The first stage of mitosis or meiosis, characterized by chromatin condensing into visible chromosomes.
  • Metaphase - The third stage of mitosis or meiosis, where chromosomes line up at the equatorial plate.
  • The stages of mitosis are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis.
