Stages of Cell Cycle
Chromosome structure
Mitosis
Differences
100
Cell cytoplasm divides
What is cytokinesis?
100
Long, thin fibers of DNA and proteins
What is chromatin?
100
Chromosomes are unwinding and become enclosed in the nucleus, and the cell begins to divide
What is telophase?
100
Plant cells use this to divide
What is a cell plate?
200

What occurs during the S phase?

DNA replication

200
One half of a duplicated chromosome
What is a sister chromatid?
200

Chromosomes are lined up on the cell's equator

What is metaphase?

200
Animal cells use this to divide
What is a cleavage furrow?
300
The cell grows and carries out normal activities after division has occurred
What is the G1 phase?
300
Holds two sister chromatids together
What is a centromere?
300
The cell's chromosomes become visible, the nuclear membrane disappears, and the centrioles move to opposite sides of the cell
What is prophase?
300
Prokaryotes divide this way
What is binary fission?
400
The stage that includes G1, S, and G2
What is interphase?
400

Visible structure seen beginning in prophase

What is a chromosome?

400
Chromatids are pulled apart and become individual chromosomes
What is anaphase?
400
Eukaryotes use these two steps to divide
What are mitosis and cytokinesis?
500
Cell preparation for division occurs
What is the G2 phase?
500
Nucleic acid that makes up the bulk of a chromosome
What is DNA?
500
Spindle fibers appear and attach to centromeres
What is prophase?
500
Uncontrolled cell growth
What is cancer?
