Vocab
The process of DNA replication and creating two identical daughter cells.
Mitosis
The average length of interphase in Mammalian Eukaryotic Cells (i.e. Human Cells)
~23 Hours
The average length of the mitotic phase in Mammalian Eukaryotic Cells (i.e. Human Cells)
~1 hour
This organelle holds cellular DNA & provides central control to the cell.
Nucleus
The total length of THE ENTIRE CELL CYCLE in Mammalian Eukaryotic Cells (i.e. Human Cells)
~24 hours / 1 Day
The process where cells make genetically identical copies of itself.
Cell Replication
This phase where the cell prepares to divide by making a copy of everything EXCEPT the DNA.
G1 / First Growth Phase
This phase where the cell prepares to divide by condensing loose DNA into chromosomes & dissolving the nucleus.
Prophase
This organelle is central to mitosis: giving off "spindle fibers" to physically grab onto and split chromosomal DNA.
Centriole
This organelle is responsible for producing the dietary proteins in pancreatic cells, like insulin & glucagon.
Ribosomes
The process where a cell develops to perform a specific function, thus becoming a "new cell type".
Cell Differentiation / Specialization
This phase where DNA is REPLICATED.
S Phase
This phase where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell: spindle fibers grab onto the DNA.
Metaphase
This type of cell is responsible for moving OXYGEN around the body.
This is where cells come from.
Preexisting Cells / Other Cells
This protein is responsible for the O2 carrying capacity of blood.
"Blood" - "Protein"
Hemoglobin
This phase where cell is dormant from division.
G0 / Quiescent
This phase where spindle fibers retract and physically split chromosomes down the middle, pulling two copies of DNA to opposite poles of the cell.
Anaphase
This type of cell is responsible for DIETARY GLUCOSE REGULATION through release of proteins like Insulin & Glucagon

This process where cells pinch off of each other after mitosis, creating two identical daughter cells.
"Cell" - "Movement"
Cytokinesis
This phase responsible for DNA PROOFREADING.
G2 / Second Growth Phase
This phase where daughter nuclei reform around newly separated chromosomes.
Telophase
This type of cell is considered a "pluripotent" cell, meaning it can become ANY cell type in the body.
