Step 1
The first stage of the cell cycle.
What is interphase?
Chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell.
What is metaphase?
Can only be produced by cells.
What are cells?
The stage cells spend most time in during cell division.
What is interphase
Holds all genetic info aka DNA.
What is the nucleus?
DNA condenses into separate chromosomes
What is prophase?
Cell division allows an organism to do this.
What is grow larger?
The kind of cell that has a rigid cell wall that cannot squeeze together.
What is a plant cell?
The formation of a threadlike structure.
What are chromosomes?
What is telophase?
Continuous dividing of cells.
What is the cell cycle?
The part of the cell that actually divides creating two new cells.
What is cytoplasm?
Each chromosome contains two identical sets of DNA
What are chromatids?
Reforms around the DNA to create two new nuclei.
What is nuclear membrane?
Once divided new cells are referred to as this.
What are daughter cells?
The process of dividing up a cells contents so each new cell has about an equal amount of these contents.
What is mitosis?
The three steps of Interphase.
What is growing, replication, and preparing for division?
Comes after interphase is complete.
What is mitosis?
The final stage of the cell cycle.
What is cytokinesis?
A structure that forms across the middle of a plant cell.
What is a cell plate?
