Cell Cycle Sandwich
What is the "bread" of the cell cycle?
Interphase or Cytokinesis
What is made up of two sister chromatids?
A chromosome-A threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus.
When is the cell membrane formed?
Cyokinesis-The third stage of the cell cycle in which cytoplasm divides creating two separate cells.
At what stage are spindle fibers gone?
Telophase-The last stage of mitosis in which nuclear membranes reappear but have not fully divided into separate cells.
What is the "meat" of the cell cycle?
Metaphase
What is the anchors of the spindle?
Centrioles- barrel-shaped organelle located in the cytoplasm.
When is the cell is copying DNA and performing cell functions?
Interphase-the first stage of the cell cycle in which the cell grows,matures, and replicates itself.
What is the final result of cell division?
Two separate cells
What is the "tomato" of the cell cycle?
Telophase
What are sister chromatids held together by?
Centromeres- The region of the chromosome to which the spindle fiber is attached during cell division
What phase does DNA condense into chromosomes?
Prophase-The first phase of mitosis in which cells chromatid condense into chromosomes.
What regulates what enters and exits the cell?
Cell membrane-separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment.
What is the "provolone cheese" of the cell cycle
Prophase
What structure moves individual chromosomes?
Spindles- a protein structure that divides the genetic material in a cell.
When the chromosomes are aligned in the middle of the cell?
Metaphase-second stage of mitosis in which sister chromatids move to the middle of the cell.
What is the "avocado" of the cell cycle?
Anaphase
What is the control center of the cell?
Nucleus-the membrane-enclosed organelle within a cell that contains the chromosomes.
When the spindle fibers and centrioles are reeling in the chromosomes in what phase?
Anaphase-is the third stage of mitosis in which sister chromatids are pulled apart and moved to opposite poles.
