Process of Mitosis
What is the actual process of cell division, where one cell divides into two?
Mitosis
Chromosomes appear as "X's", the centrioles seperate and take positions on oppisite sides of the nucleus, spindle fibers form?
Prophase
Reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells What is the basic description of Meiosis?
Meiosis
What is when chromatin condenses to form chromosomes
Prophase 1
What is the chromosomes condense, and a new set of spindle fibers forms
Prophase 2
What is when cells increase in size, carry out their original function, and synthesize new proteins and organelles?
G1 phase
What is when the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell, microtubules connect to the centromere of each chromosome to the poles of the spindle?
Metaphase
What is cells grow and perform many of their required cellular functions
G1 Phase
What is the homologous pairs of chromosomes align on either side of the equatorial plate
Metaphase 1
What is the centromeres of the paired chromatids align along the equatorial plate in both cells
Metaphase 2
What is when DNA synthesis takes place, all chromosomes in the nucleus are duplicated, once the cell enters, it usually carries out the rest of the cycle?
S phase
What is the sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes, spindle fibers shorten, pulling chromosomes to opposite ends What happens during Anaphase?
Anaphase
What phase occurs before Meiosis?
S phase
what is when homologous chromosomes separate
Anaphase 1
What is the chromatids split at the centromere and migrate along the spindle fibers to opposite poles
Anaphase 2
What is when organelles and molecules required are produced, DNA replication is checked, once completed, the cell is ready for M phase?
G2 phase
What is the spindle fibers breakdown and disassemble, chromosomes gather at opposite ends and the cleavage furrow appears, nuclear envelope reforms
Telophase
The period after DNA synthesis has occurred but prior to the start of prophase
G2 phase
What is when chromosomes are enclosed in nuclei
Telophase 1
What is the cells pinch in the center and divide again
Telophase 2
What is when certain cells enter during/after G1 phase, stage where cell is perfectly healthy, cell does not continue through cell cycle?
G0 phase
What is the cells split into two new cells, each daughter cell has an identical set of duplicate chromosomes
Cytokinesis
What phase is viewed as either an extended G1 phase, where the cell is neither dividing nor preparing to divide?
G0 phase
What is divides the cytoplasm of the original cell into two daughter cells
Cytokinesis
What is the best science subjet?
