Cell cycle vocab
Chromatin
relaxed form of DNA that makes up chromosomes
In what stage of the cell cycle does a new cell membrane form between each new daughter cell?
cytokinesis
In what phase of mitosis do the chromosomes line-up across the center of the cell?
Metaphase
What structure in animal and plant cell contains the genetic material
The nucleus
What does G1, S, G2 , And M stand for
Gap 1, Snythesis , Gap 2 , Mitosis
Mitosis
The nucleus of the cell divides into two identical daughter cells and each cell gets a set of chromosomes.
In what stage of the cell cycle do the chromosomes line-up?
Mitosis
In what phase of mitosis do the centromeres split?
Anaphase
How many cell divisons occur in our body?
about two trillion cells
What is the cell cycle
A cell cycle is a series of events that takes place in a cell as it grows and divides
Cytokinesis
The cytoplasm divides, leading to the formation of two distinct daughter cells.
In what stage of the cell cycle do cells produce structures it will use during cell division?
In what phase of mitosis are the chromosomes first held together by a centromere?
Prophase
When can the cell cycle begin again?
When the M phase completes, cell division occurs and two cells are left.
In the cell life cycle how much do the mother cells increase in size
They double in size
Chromosomes
A cellular structure carrying genetic material, found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
In what stage of the cell cycle does the cell grow and produce all the structures needed to carry out its functions?
Interphase
In what phase of mitosis do the chromosomes begin to stretch out and lose their rod-like appearance?
Telophase
How does the DNA replication happen?
After the mitosis creates clones of cells.
What does the cell cycle prepare for?
Cell division
Spindle
Fanlike microtubule structure that helps separate the chromosomes during mitosis
After the chromosome separates, the cell seals off, Final Phase of Mitosis.
Telophase
In what phase of mitosis do the centromeres on the chromosomes attach to a spindle fiber?
Metaphase
How long does it take cells to complete the S phase?
5-6 hours
What do cells do when they use special protiens and signlaing systems?
They ensure that the cell cycle progresses properly
