Cycle Stages
After the second growth phase, this checkpoint lets division start.
The G2/M checkpoint
Proteins that pace progress through the cycle are these.
Cyclins
Chromosomes decondense and the nucleus returns in this phase.
Telophase
Attachment proteins on the centromere make this
Kinetochore
Cancer does this to the cell cycle.
Deregulate it
The two big stages of the cell cycle are these.
Interphase and mitosis (M phase)
Cells that leave the cycle sit in this phase.
G0
Mitosis’s four phases are these, in order.
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
The protein joint that holds chromatids together is this.
The centromere
Uncontrolled cell division is this.
Cancer
The second growth phase is this.
G2
DNA is copied in this phase.
S phase (synthesis phase)
The nucleus breaks down and chromatin condenses in this phase.
Prophase
Long bands from centrosome to chromosome are this.
The mitotic spindle
A shallow pinch that splits an animal cell is this.
A cleavage furrow
Interphase’s three parts are these.
G1, S, and G2
The gate into DNA copying is this checkpoint.
The G1/S checkpoint
This is the name of the midline that chromosomes line up along in mitosis.
Metaphase plate
The two cylinders of a centrosome are these.
Centrioles
A new wall that splits a plant cell is this.
A cell plate
The life cycle a cell goes through is this.
The cell cycle
The first and largest growth phase is this
G1; Gap 1
This is nuclear division.
Mitosis
A chromosome of replicated DNA consists of two of these.
Sister chromatids
Division of the cytoplasm is this.
Cytokinesis
