Number of phases within the cell cyle
three
Stages of mitosis
five
Stages of mitosis in order
1. prophase
2. prometaphase
3. metaphase
4. anaphase
5. telophase/cytokinesis
The cell cycle has this many phases
three
Names of all of the phases within interphase
1. G1
2. S
3. G2
During interphase, the G1 phase is
The "first gap phase" where the cell grows and carries out its normal cellular functions.
During interphase, the S phase is
"Synthesis" phase where DNA replication and chromosome duplication occurs.
During interphase, the G2 phase is
"Second gap" phase. This is the final growth phase in preparation for mitosis.
Main difference between mitosis and cytokinesis
Mitosis- nucleus divides
Cytokinesis- cytoplasm divides
Mitosis results in this type of cells
identical diploid daughter cells
This condenses within prophase
chromatin
this disappears within prophase
Duplicated chromosomes appear as this within prophase
sister chromatids
This begins to form within prophase
mitotic spindle
centrosomes
This fragments within prometaphase
nuclear envelope
metaphase plate
Microtubules in metaphase are attached to each
kinetochore
Sister chromatids do this sue to microtubules shortening during anaphase
Shorten and move to opposite sides
The cell does this during anaphase
elongates
What is the duration of interphase within the cell cycle? (provide a percantage)
90%
Two of these form during telophase
daughter nuclei
Reason for the formation of a cleavage furrow in animals during cytokinesis
a contractile ring of actin filaments
cell plate
This reappears during telophase
nucleoli
