Stages of Cell Cycle
Cell cytoplasm divides
What is cytokinesis?
Long, thin fibers of DNA and proteins found during interphase
What is chromatin?
Chromosomes are unwinding and become enclosed in the nucleus, and the cell begins to divide
What is telophase?
Chromosomes before mitosis = 46. Chromosomes at end of mitosis in each cell =
What is 46?
Plant cells use this to divide during cytokenisis
What is a cell plate?
The cell divides during this phase
What is Mitosis
One half of a duplicated chromosome (the X)
What is a sister chromatid?
Chromosomes are lined up on the cell's equator/metaphase
What is metaphase?
Cells produced after Mitosis
What is 2?
Animal cells use this to divide during cytokinesis
What is a cleavage furrow?
Cell arrest
G0
Holds two sister chromatids together
What is a centromere?
The cell's chromosomes become visible, the nuclear membrane disappears, and the centrioles move to opposite sides of the cell
What is prophase?
Times cell divides in each cell cycle
What is once?
Eukaryotes divide this way
What is Mitosis?
The stage that includes G1, S, and G2
What is interphase?
Visible structure seen beginning in prophase (not the spindle fibers)
What is a chromosome?
Chromatids are pulled apart and become individual chromosomes
What is anaphase?
The number of sets in a diploid organism
What is 2?
Eukaryotes use these two steps to divide
What are mitosis and cytokinesis?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
What is the correct order of Mitosis?
Nucleic acid that makes up the bulk of a chromosome
What is DNA?
Spindle fibers appear and attach to centromeres
What is prophase?
Held together by a centromere
What is a sister chromatid
Uncontrolled cell growth
What is cancer?
