Chromosomes
The protein responsible for maintaining the structure of DNA
histone
These two proteins regulate the cell cycle
cyclins and kinases
This cellular structure is still present during the G2 phase, right before prophase of mitosis
nuclear envelope
The name of the microtubules which begin to attach to chromosomes during prometaphase
kinetochore microtubules
This is the name of the area where bacterial chromosome begins to replicate
origin of replication
The region of DNA that connects two sister chromatids
centromere
M phase checkpoint
This structure is known as the microtubule organizing center, and they form during G2 interphase
centrosomes
This phase will only occur if it passes through the M phase checkpoint
anaphase/chromosome separation
This type of tumor enables its cells to spread to other tissues and organs within an organism
malignant tumor
The purpose of cell division
renewal and repair
This is released by cells to stimulate other cells to divide
growth factor
A pair of these make up a centrosome
centrioles
In plant cells, these cellular structures line up along the cell plate to form a new cell wall during cytokinesis
Golgi vesicles
The name of the phenomenon in which cells must be attached to something else in order to divide
anchorage dependence
All of the DNA and proteins that make up a chromosome
chromatid
This is the most arguably the most important checkpoint which checks for cell size, nutrients, and DNA damage
These three phases make up interphase
G1, S, and G2
In animal cells, this structure is used to form a contractile ring to pinch two daughter cells apart during cytokinesis
microfilament
Programmed cell death
apoptosis
DNA must do this before cell division
These two types of cells are typically stuck in the G0 phase
muscle and nerve cells
This is the typical percentage of time that interphase takes up during the cell cycle
90%
In mitosis, the processes of this phase typically resemble the opposite of those processes during telophase
Prometaphase
This type of organism typically contain a singular DNA molecule as their genome
prokaryote
