Cell Cycle
A cycle of growth and development that cells go through
The period during the cell's cycle that include rapid growth and preparing for division
Interphase
The process of a cell dividing to make two new cells and the division of the nucleus
Mitosis
Phase of mitosis where DNA coils tightly together and the nuclear membrane breaks down
Prophase
Living things have specific parts, in specific places, that do specific jobs
organization
or
organization of life
Phase of the cell cycle that most cells spend most of their lifetime in
Interphase
What happens to a cell's organelles during interphase?
The cell's organelles are copied or duplicated
The division of the cytoplasm at the end of mitosis
cytokinesis
Phase of mitosis where spindle fibers pull and push chromosomes to the middle of the cell
Metaphase
the process by which cells become different types of cell
The two main phases of the cell cycle
What happens during the G1 phase of interphase?
rapid growth and replication
What is the product of mitosis and cytokinesis?
two identical daughter cells
Phase of mitosis where the two sister chromatids in each chromosome separate and are pulled to opposite sides of the cell
Groups of cell that work together to perform a specific function
tissues
What happens to a cell's DNA during interphase?
The cell's DNA is copied so that the cell has two copies of the same DNA
What happens during the S stage of interphase?
What are the four phases of mitosis?
Phase of mitosis where spindle fibers begin to disappear, the nuclear membrane begins to reform around the chromosomes, and the cell membrane begins to pinch in the middle of the cell
groups of organs that work together to perform a specific set of functions
organ system
What are the phases of interphase?
G1 Stages
S Stage
G2 Stage
What happens in the G2 stage of interphase?
Preparing for cell division
Why is mitosis important to living things?
Mitosis allows living things to grow and develop by making new cells.
Cytokinesis
What are the levels of organization of life in order?
Atoms, molecules, organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms
