Cell Cycle 1
When do cells copy their DNA?
interphase
What does PMAT stand for?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
During what process does the cytoplasm and its contents divide into two identical daughter cells?
During cytokinesis
Chromosomes meet in the middle on spindle fibers
Metaphase
During G1 of Interphase, what is the cell doing?
Cell Grows
Organelles are copied
What are the two main parts of the cell cycle?
What is the difference between mitosis and the cell cycle?
Mitosis is specifically cells dividing
What is one reason that cells go through the process of mitosis?
To replace old cells, for growth or for repair
During the mitotic phase, what is the order of the phases
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
Give an example how our body uses mitosis.
Healing cuts, growing, nails and hair
t/f: Cells split completely in cytokinesis
True
What happens to the cell during G2 phase?
protein synthesis
cell prepares for mitosis
Somatic cells are what kind of cells?
Body cells
t/f: Metaphase is when chromosomes split apart
False
When do the sister chromatids/chromosomes separate?
During anaphase
During the S phase of interphase, what is the cell doing?
coping DNA
Name the phase: Cell splits in half with identical organelles and DNA, and then the whole process starts over again
Cytokinesis
What disappears during prophase?
The nucleus / nuclear membrane / envelope
Most of the cells in your body are made through which process?
Mitosis
Name the phase: Chromosomes separate at centromeres and move along spindle fibers to the ends of the cell
Anaphase
Name the phase: Nuclear membranes return around DNA
Telophase
