MITOSIS 1
Holds our genetic information
What is DNA?
When a chromosome duplicates, what are the copies one called
What are sister chromatids?
Connects the chromosomes and spindle fibers
What is the kinetochore
Cell spends 90% of its time here (Normal cell life)
What is interphase
What is the process by which a eukaryotic nucleus divides into two identical daughter nuclei?
What is mitosis?
During which phase of the cell cycle does DNA replication occur?
What is the S phase (Synthesis phase)?
What is the division of the cytoplasm and other organelles, resulting in two separate daughter cells?
What is cytokinesis?
During this stage, the nucleus reforms.
What is telophase?
These proteins react with cdks to control progression through the cell cycle.
What are cyclins?
Cells must progress past this to begin DNA replication
What is the G1 checkpoint?
What are the thread-like structures in the cell nucleus that contain genetic information and become visible as distinct entities during mitosis?
What are chromosomes?
In this mitosis stage, the chromosomes start to move to the poles of the cell?
What is anaphase?
An apparatus of protein fibers that controls chromosome movement during mitosis
What are spindle fibers/mitotic spindle
How many phases are in mitosis
What is 4
DNA that condenses during cell division
What is Chromatin
Units of heredity from parents
What are genes
What is prokaryote cell division called?
Binary Fission
How many cells form after mitosis?
What is two cells?
Area where duplicated chromosomes are held together.
What is centromere
What are the 4 stages of mitosis? (in order)
What is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophases?
the chromosomes first start to condense in this phase
What is prophase?
What is the term for the uncontrolled and rapid division of cells, often associated with the formation of tumors?
What is cancer?
What is the term for a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, leading to the formation of haploid cells?
What is meiosis?
