What is mitosis?
The process by which a cell replicates its chromosomes. This produces two sister cells that are identical to each other.
What is prophase?
First phase, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells.
What is telophase?
Final phase, the cell is nearly done dividing, and it starts to re-establish its normal structures as cytokinesis (division of the cell contents) takes place
What is metaphase?
The third phase, the nucleus dissolves and the cell's chromosomes condense and move together, aligning in the center of the dividing cell.
What is cytokines?
The physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells.
Anaphase
The fourth phase, the sister chromatids separate from each other and are pulled towards opposite ends of the cell.
What is DNA replication?
The opening of the double helix and separation of the DNA strands, the priming of the template strand, and the assembly of the new DNA segment.
What is chromatin?
The opening of the double helix and separation of the DNA strands, the priming of the template strand, and the assembly of the new DNA segment.
What is cytoplasm?
The gelatinous liquid that fills the inside of a cell.
What are organelles?
A subcellular structure that has one or more specific jobs to perform in the cell,
What is centromere?
The region of a chromosome to which the microtubules of the spindle attach, via the kinetochore, during cell division.
What is nuclear envelope?
The two-layered membrane that surrounds the nucleus and separates it from the other cell organelles.
What is centromere?
The region of a chromosome to which the microtubules of the spindle attach, via the kinetochore, during cell division.
What are centrioles?
A minute cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of spindle fibers in cell division.
What is chromosome?
A threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
What are spindle fibers
A network of filaments that are formed during the cell division process. They help in the movement of chromosomes during both mitosis and meiosis.
The cells that are formed after cell division.
What is a nuclei
The membrane-enclosed organelle within a cell that contains the chromosomes.
What are sister chromatids?
The identical copies (chromatids) formed by the DNA replication of a chromosome, with both copies joined together by a common centromere.
What is a interphase?
The first phase,the phase of which the cell cycle in which a cell copies its DNA to prepare for mitosis.
What is a metaphase plate?
An imaginary line that runs across the cell, dividing the cell into hemispheres.
What is the first step of mitosis?
Prophase
What is the second step of mitosis?
Metaphase
What’s the third step of mitosis?
Anaphase
What’s the fourth stage of mitosis?
Telaphase
