Cells and Phases
In this cell cycle, the cell grows, its DNA replicates, and the cell divides
What are prokaryotes
During this phase, the cell grows rapidly, while performing routine metabolic processes. It also makes proteins needed for DNA replication and copies some of its organelles in preparation for cell division.
What is Gap Phase 1/ Growth Phase 1
Form the basic structural unit of nucleic acids such as DNA.
What are nucleotides
How many nucleotide units comprise DNA?
4
The first stage of cell division in both mitosis and meiosis.
What is Prophase
In the Eukaryotic Cell Cycle, the _________ phase includes both mitosis and cytokinesis. When the nucleus and then the cytoplasm divide.
What is the mitotic phase
During this phase, the cell’s DNA is copied in the process of DNA replication.
What is Synthesis Phase
Purine bases
What are Adenine and guanine
Adenine (A) always pairs with
Thymine (T)
A stage in the cell cycle where all the genetic material is condensing into chromosomes.
What is Metaphase
In the Eukaryotic Cell Cycle, _________ includes three phases (G1, S, and G2) which are generally grouped together
What is interphase.
During this phase, the cell makes final preparations to divide. For example, it makes additional proteins and organelles.
What is Gap Phase 2 or Growth Phase 2
Pyrimidine bases
What are cytosine and thymine
Guanine (G) always pairs with
Cytosine (C)
When replicated chromosomes are split and the newly-copied chromosomes (daughter chromatids) are moved to opposite poles of the cell.
What is Anapahse
When a nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes to separate the nuclear DNA from the cytoplasm
Hint: the final phase of cell division
What is Telophase
The physical process that finally splits the parent cell into two identical daughter cells.
What is Cytokinesis
