What is the cell cycle?
It is the process in which a cell is divided. One cell grows and divides into two cells.
In ________, these spindle fibers shorten and pull the chromosomes toward either end of the ____.
Anaphase, cell
Chromosome
A structure in the nucleus of an eukaryote cell that is made up of condensed DNA
Plant and animal cells are __________ cells.
Eukaryotic
Interphase is the first and _______ stage of the cell cycle.
Longest
What are the 3 stages of the Cell Cycle?
1. Interphase
2. Mitosis
3. Cytokinesis
Finally, during _________, the membrane around the nucleus begins to reform and those chromosomes begin to unwind.
Telophase
Cytokinesis
The division of the cytoplasm
The cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells contains __________.
Organelles
Mitosis is the process in which the nucleus divides, producing two _________ nuclei.
Identical
The ____ cycle has three stages. Interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis.
Cell
What are the 4 stages of Mitosis?
1. Prophase
2. Metaphase
3. Anaphase
4. Telophase
Interphase
The longest stage of the cell cycle that includes growth of the cell and replication of DNA
DNA
The nucleus contains it, it is the genetic material of living things
During Interphase
A cell grows to its full size
the cell’s DNA is copied in a process called replication
In ________, the DNA condenses to form chromosomes.
Prophase
How many stages of the cell cycle are there?
3
Mitosis
The process in which the nucleus divides, producing two Identical nuclei
The cell cycle is the process of growth, maintenance, and ________ of a cell.
Division
Mitosis - Prophase
First step of mitosis
DNA twists, thickens, and condenses, to form structures called chromosomes
The membrane around the nucleus disappears
Spindle fibers form
During _________, the spindle fibers attach to those chromosomes.
Metaphase
Cell Cycle
The Process of growth, maintenance, and division of a cell.
Replication
The process by which DNA is copied
During the cell cycle, one cell grows and divides into ___ cells.
Two
Mitosis - Metaphase
Second step of mitosis
Spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes
The chromosomes line up along the middle / center of the cell
