|
Cell Division
|
process by which a cell divides into two new daughter cells
|
|
|
Mitosis
|
is the stage during which the cell's nucleus divides into 2 new nuclei
|
|
|
Cytokinosis
|
The cytoplasm pinches in half. Each DAUGHTER cell has an identical set of duplicate chromosomes
|
|
|
Chromatid
|
one of 2 identical "SISTER" parts of a duplicated chromosome
|
|
|
Centromere
|
area where the chromatids of a chromosome are attached
|
|
|
Interphase
|
period of the cell cycle between cell division
|
|
|
Cell Cycle
|
Series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide
|
|
|
Centriole
|
1 of 2 tiny structures located in the cytoplasm of animal cells near nuclear envelope
|
|
|
Metaphase
|
The chromosome line up across the center of the cell. Each chromosomes is connected to a spindle fiber at the centomere
|
|
|
Anaphase
|
Sister chromosomes separate into individual chromosomes and are moved apart
|
|
|
Spindle
|
Fan-like micro-tubular structure that helps separate the chromosomes during MITOSIS
|
|
|
Prophase
|
The chromatin condenses into chromosomes. The centioles separate,and a spindle begins to form. Nuclear envelope breaks down
|
|
|
Telophase
|
The chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and lose their distinct shapes. two new nuclear envelopes will form
|
|
|
Cyclin
|
one of a family of closely related proteins that regulate the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells
|
|
|
cancer
|
disorder in which some of the body's own cells lose the ability to control growth
|
