How many phases are in interphase? Name them IN ORDER
3. G1,S,G2
How many phases is the cell cycle divided into?
2
the blueprint of life
What are the main purposes of Mitosis?
Growth and development, repair and replacement, regeneration, and asexual reproduction.
What is Mitosis?
Replicated DNA in nucleus separates into 2 identical daughter cells
During which phase is DNA replicated?
S phase.
What are the names of the phases that the cell cycle is divided into?
Interphase and Mitosis
In which phase of the cell cycle does the cell produce organelles?
interphase
What are the phases of mitosis ( in order ) ?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
What is the name of the process in which the cytoplasm is divided?
cytokinesis
What occurs during the G1 phase?
double cytoplasm, organelles and centrioles
Why is the cell cycle important for eukaryotes?
growth and repair
centromere
What happens during anaphase
the sister chromatids separate at the centromere and pull apart, bringing identical DNA to each side of the cell
the sister chromatids, with the help of spindle fibers, line up in the middle of the cell equator
What occurs during the S phase?
each individual chromosome is copied and paired with the copy via the centromere and together form sister chromatids.
What is the cell cycle called for prokaryotes?
Binary fission
Why is it important for DNA to be duplicated before mitosis?
to make sure that after cell division it gets the exact copy
Prophase
Telophase
What occurs during the G2 phase?
enzymes are produced, final check before mitosis begins
During what stage of the cell cycle would you expect to have the lowest amount of cellular growth and synthesis taking place?
Mitosis
what are the three components of the Cell Theory
1. all cells come from other cells
2. all organisms are composed of one or more cells
3. the cell is the smallest unit of life
What are two differences that occur during cytokinesis in plants compared to animals?
they have a cell wall
during telophase they create a cell plate
centriole
