Ride My Cycle
Name that Phase
100
How messages originate and are transmitted, received, interpreted, and used by the cell.
What is Cellular Communication
100
The alternation between mitosis and interphase in all tissues with cellular turnover.
What is Cell Cycle
100
During this phase, chromatin consists of very long, slender rods jumbled together in the nucleus. However, late in this phase, strands of chromatin (the substance that gives the nucleus its granular appearance) begin to coil, causing shortening and thickening.
What is Interphase
200
Streamlined conversation between, among, and within cells maintains this . . .
What is Cellular Function and Specialization
200
The phase in which DNA is synthesized in the cell nucleus
What is S-Phase
200
The M phase of the cell cycle, mitosis and cytokinesis, begins with this phase, or the first appearance of chromosomes.
What is Prophase
300
Cells must demonstrate a _____________ _________ for other cells to maintain the integrity of the entire organism
What is a Chemical Fondness
300
Phase in which RNA and protein synthesis occurs, namely, the period between the completion of DNA synthesis and the next phase.
What is G (Gap) Phase
300
As the prophase proceeds, each chromosome is seen as two identical halves called__________, which lie together and are attached by a spindle site called a centromere.
What is Chromatids
400
When they no longer tolerate chemical fondness, the conversation breaks down, and cells either
What is Adapt (sometimes altering function) or Become vulnerable to isolation, injury, or disease.
400
Phase that includes both nuclear and cytoplasmic division.
What is M (Mitosis) Phase
400
The nuclear membrane, which surrounds the nucleus, disappears. ________________, which are microtubules formed in the cytoplasm radiate from two centrioles located at opposite poles of the cell and pull the chromosomes to opposite sides of the cell, and begin this phase.
What Spindle Fibers and Metaphase
500
During this phase of the cell cycle, a nuclear membrane is formed around each group of 46 chromosomes, the spindle fibers disappear, and the chromosomes begin to uncoil. Cytokinesis causes the cytoplasm to divide into almost equal parts during this phase. At the end of phase, two identical diploid cells, called daughter cells, have been formed from the original cell.
What is Telophase
500
The period between the M phase and the start of DNA synthesis.
What is G1 Phase
500
This phase begins when the centromeres split and the sister chromatids are pulled apart. The spindle fibers shorten, causing the sister chromatids to be pulled, centromere first, toward opposite sides of the cell.When the sister chromatids are separated, each is considered to be a chromosome. Thus the cell has 92 chromosomes during this stage. By the end of this phase there are 46 chromosomes lying at each side of the cell. As long as there are no mitotic errors, each of the 2 groups of 46 chromosomes is identical to the original 46 chromosomes present at the start of the cell cycle.
