category 1
period of the cell cycle in which the cell spends 90% of its time
how many cells do we start with in Mitosis?
1
condensed genetic information
chromosome
why do multicellular cells need Mitosis
growth and repair
how are chromosomes counted
centromere
how many phases/stages are in the cell cycle?
three
what is the end result of Mitosis (what type of cells)?
two identical daughter cells
phase when chromosomes first start to appear
prophase
why do unicellular cells undergo Mitosis
reproduction
cyto means
cells
how many checkpionts are are found in the interphase?
3
structure that attaches to the centromere and help pull apart the sister chromatids?
spindle fibers
the "pinch" that is happening in telophase
celavege furrow
phase in Mitosis where the chromosomes line up in the middle (equator) of the cell
metaphase
kinesis
cutting
What is happening in S phase of interphase
synthesizing DNA
stage in which the nuclear membrane is disappearing
prophase
cells with distinct functions
differentiated cells
period where cells have split in two
cytokinesis
two halves of a chromosome
sister chromatids
how many stages are in interphase
three
G1, S, G2
stage in which the sister chromatids are pulled apart
anaphase
cells that have yet to differentiate
stem cells
programed cell death
apoptosis
complete cell cycle in order
Interphase (G1, S, G2), Mitosis (P,M,A, T), Cytokinesis
