Mitosis
Mitosis 2
100
Tiny structures located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope
What are centrioles?
100
Before cell division occurs, the cell replicates, or copies, all of its DNA.
What happens before S, synthesis, stage?
100
G1, S, and G2.
Name the main events of the interphase .
100
disorder in which some of the body's own cells lose the ability to control growth
What is cancer?
100
Part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides
What is mitosis?
200
Process by which a cell divides into two new daughter cells.
What is cell division?
200
  • What happens during the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

During the G1 phase of the cell cycle, the cell grows, produces proteins, and organelles, and carries out normal functions in preparation for DNA replication.

200

What are two structures involved in plant and animal cell division?

Cell plate/cell furrow

200
Prophase
What is the chromosomes become visible?
200
first and longest phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate and take up positions on the opposite sides of the nucleus
What is prophase?
300
One of two identical “sister” parts of a duplicated chromosome
What is chromatid?
300
  • Why do cells need to grow?

Cells need to grow to **get ready for division**, **replace old cells**, and help the body **grow and heal**.


300
The “in-between” period of growth in the cell cycle
What is interphase?
300

the chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite sides of the cell.

Anaphase

300
Second phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
What is metaphase?
400
Area where the chromatids of a chromosome are attached
What is the centromere?
400
1. The problem of information storage because each daughter cell gets one complete set of genetic information. 2. The problem of increasing size by reducing cell volume.
Two of the reasons why cells divide.
400
Made up of DNA,which carries the cell's coded genetic information.
What are chromosomes made of?
400

Formed during telophase of plant cells.

when is cell plant formed?

400
The third phase of mitosis, during which the chromosome pairs separate and move toward opposite poles
What is anaphase?
500

Spindle fibers are thread-like structures made of microtubules that help separate chromosomes during cell division

What is a spindle fibers?

500

A growing cell divides forming two “daughter” cells.

What happens before a cell becomes too large?

500

Cells come from preexhisting cells.

What is a part of the cell theory?

500
Telophase.
What is chromosomes begin to disperse into a tangle of dense material and nuclear membrane starts to reform?
500
Fourth and final phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes begin to disperse into a tangle of dense material
What is telophase?
