Cell Cycle
what is a stage in which the cell grows and the nucleus is not dividing?
what is interphase
what is the centromere?
what is the region of the chromosome to which the microtubules connect
In what part of the cell is all genetic material stored?
what is the nucleus
what is the specific stage of interphase in which DNA is synthesized?
what is S phase?
what is the function of the microtubules?
they pull the sister chromatids apart during anaphase
what is known as the UPS of the cell?
what is the Golgi apparatus
what is the second subphase of interphase in which the cell is growing and preparing for mitosis?
what is the G2 phase?
in what stage does the nuclear membrane reappear?
what is telophase
what is the main difference in the rough ER and the smooth ER and what is the purpose of the smooth ER?
the rough ER has ribosomes whereas the smooth ER doesn't the smooth ER is mainly used for detoxification
prophase prometaphase metaphase anaphase telophase
what happens to the chromatin during interphase?
it condenses into chromosomes
what surrounds the cell and protects it from foreign invaders?
what is the cell membrane
what is the cytokinesis?
what happens after the cell finishes mitosis?
it goes into a splitting of the cytoplasm, it then goes into differentiation and then to a growth stage called interphase where DNA is synthesized to prepare to split again
what are cells that have not been through differentiation called?
what are stem cells
