Cell cycle |
Process of cellular reproduction, occuring in three main stages- Interphase(growth), mitosis, and cytokinesis |
|
|
Interphase |
First stage of the cell cycle, during which a cell grows, matures, and replicates its DNA. |
|
|
Mitosis |
Second main stage in the cell cycle during which the cells replicated DNA divides and two genetically identical daughter cells are produced. |
|
|
Cytokinesis |
Third main stage of the cell cycle during which the cells cytoplasm divides creating a new cell. |
|
|
Chromosome |
DNA-containing structure that carries genetic material from one generation to another. |
|
|
Chromatin |
Relaxed form of DNA in the nucleus of a cell. |
|
|
Prophase |
First stage of mitosis during which the cells chromatin condenses into chromosomes. |
|
|
Sister chromatid |
Structure that contains identical DNA copies and is formed during DNA replication. |
|
|
Centromere |
Cell structure that joins two sister chromatids. |
|
|
Spindle apparatus |
Structure made of spinder fibers , centrioles, and aster fibers that is involved in moving and organizing chromosomes before the cell divides. |
|
|
Metaphase |
Second stage of mitosis in which protiens pull sister chromatids to the cells equator. |
|
|
Anaphase |
Third stage of mitosis in which sister chromatids are pulled apart and microtubes along with motor protiens move the chromosomes to oppisote poles of the cells. |
|
|
Telaphase |
Last stage of mitosis in which nucleai reappear. |
|
|
Cancer |
Uncontrolled growth and division of cells that can be cause by changes in control of the cell cycle and enviromental factors. |
|
|
Carcinogen |
Cancer causing substance. |
