Cell Cycle |
The Cell Cycle is very important because it is responsible for the growth and reproduction of all cells. |
|
|
Interphase |
The nucleolus and the nuclear envelope are distinct and the chromosomes are in the form of threadlike chromatin. |
|
|
G1 |
The cell grows larger, makes more ribosomes, organelles, mRNA, and proteins. |
|
|
S |
The cell makes a copy of its DNA so that each daughter cell will have a full set. Also replicates centrosomes. |
|
|
G2 |
The cell grows larger and organizes itself to prepare for mitosis. The DNA condenses (clumps together) into thin strands called chromatin. This phase also has checkpoints that make sure that the cell is healthy and ready to go into mitosis. |
|
|
G0 |
It is a period in interphase were the cell is resting. |
|
|
Cancer |
Cancer occurs when unhealthy cells divide rapidly. Some types of cancer treatments focus on stopping or slowing down DNA replication in order to stop mitosis from occurring. These treatments often have very serious side effects because they damage the cell cycles of healthy cells too. |
|
|
Mitosis |
During mitosis, the cell divides into two identical cells. These two new cells are called daughter cells. They have the exact same genetic information as the original cell. |
|
|
Cell Division |
The process in which a cell divides into two cells, each containing genetic material, as that of the original cell. |
|
|
Parent Cell |
The cell giving raise to the daughter cell because of cell division. |
|
|
Daughter Cell |
They have the exact same genetic information as the original cell. They are IDENTICAL to the original parent cell. |
|
|
Checkpoint |
Where the cell goes to make sure that it can divide |
|
|
Prophase |
The chromosomes appear condensed, and the nuclear envelope is not apparent. |
|
|
Metaphase |
Thick, coiled, chromosomes, each with two chromatids, are lined up on the metaphase plate. |
|
|
Anaphase |
The chromatids of each chromosomes have separated and are moving toward the poles |
|
|
Telophase |
The chromosomes are at the poles, and are becoming more diffused. The nuclear envelope is reforming. The cytoplasm may be dividing. |
|
|
Cytokinesis |
Division into two daughter cells is completed. |
|
|
Cell Plate |
In plant cell mitosis, the two new cells do not actually separate. Instead, a cell plate grows between the two daughter cells to form a new cell which divides the two cells. |
