Mitosis and Cytokinesis
What is mitosis
a cell division that results in two cells
What does the cell spend most of its time in during the cell cycle
Interphase
What is the Cell Cycle
Series of events that take place in the cell as it grows and divides.
What are daughter cells
The cells that result from the division of a single cell
What are the 3 phase in Interphase
G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase
Why do cells go through the cell cycle
Prevents cells from becoming to large and also is how cells duplicate
What are sister chromatids
two identical chromatids formed together
Why does the cell go through Interphase
To prepare for cell division
What is chromatin
Relaxed DNA in the cells nucleus difficult to see
what are the 4 phase in mitosis
Pro phase, Meta phase, Ana phase, Tela phase
Which phase does the cell copy DNA
S phase
What are chromosomes
Structures that contain genetic material passed one generation to another
What happens in Telaphase
Two nuclei are formed and the chromatids and chromosomes go to either ends of the cell
What happens in G1 phase
Why is cell size limited
cells may have difficulty supplying nutrients and expelling waste if is is too big
