How many rounds of division occur in a single cell cycle?
What is one?
This occurs in 4 phases
What is mitosis?
This phase of the cell cycle contains the start point which causes a cell to to proceed through the rest of the phases of the cell cycle.
What is the G1 phase?
During this phase the chromatin condenses into chromosomes.
What is prophase?
The division of the cytoplasm of the cell during cell division is referred to as_____________.
What is Cytokinesis?
The longest phase of the cell cycle.
What is interphase?
This is cellular division
WHat is cytokinesis?
During interphase, DNA has replicated and appears as a loosely coiled mass known as ___________.
What is Chromatin
These structures help move the chromosomes.
What are mitotic spindle fibers?
This is the end result of cytokinesis.
What are two identical daughter cells?
The cell cycle, when it involves mitosis, results in two genetically _________ cells.
What is identical?
This is the major goal of mitosis
What is to distribute a copy of a sister chromatid into each nucleus of a daughter cell
This structure which dissolves during mitosis is constantly present during interphase.
What is the nuclear membrane/nuclear envelope?
In this phase the nuclear envelope reforms around the separated chromosomes.
What is telophase
Cytokinesis begins during this phase of mitosis.
What is anaphase?
In this phase of interphase cells replicate their DNA.
What is S phase?
All cells must go through mitosis if they reach this point in the cell cycle.
What is the start point of G1 phase of interphase?
During this phase the cell checks to make sure it has doubled up on cytoplasm, organelles, etc.
What is the G2 phase?
At this phase in cell division the mitotic spindle fibers pull the chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell
What is Anaphase?
The pinching of the plasma membrane as seen in an animal cell creates a ___________.
What is a Cleavage furrow?
This is the importance of the cell cycle to multicellular organisms with respect to tissue repair?
What is replaces damaged, worn, and aging cells?
These are the phases of mitosis in order.
What are Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
These are the three parts of interphase in order.
What are the G1, S, G2 phases?
Spindle fibers attach to the centromeres and chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell during this phase of cell division.
What is Metaphase?
In plant cells, a _______________ is built between the two daughter cells as they pull apart during cytokinesis.
What is a cell plate?
