Milotic Phase M
the contents of the nucleus (mainly the duplicated chromosomes) are evenly distributed to two daughter nuclei, and the cytoplasm divides into 2
S phase
DNA synthesis occurs in S phase. At the beginning of the phase, each chromosome is single. At the end of the phase each chromosome consists of 2 sister chromatids
interphase
This accounts for 90% of the cell cycle. it is a time of high metabolic activity. the cell grows by producing proteins and organelles, and chromosomes are replicated
Mitosis
cell division of the nucleus occurs. the chromosomes that have been replicated are distributed to two daughter nuclei
G2
G2 is a phase of metabolic activity and growth. during this phase the cell makes its final preparations for division.
G1
the cell grows by producing proteins and organelles
Cytokinesis
cytoplasm divides into two
Prophase
The centrosomes move away from each other and the nuclear envelopes breaks up
Metaphase
the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell
Anaphase
sister chromatids separate and begin moving towards opposite poles of the cell
Telophase
the chromosome arrives at the poles and nuclear envelope
Cytokinesis
At the end of mitotic M phase, the cytoplasm divides
genetics
study of physical inheritance among living things
Chromosomes
structural unit containing art or all of an organis's genome, consisting of DNA and its associated proteins (chromatin). the human genome is made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes, or 46 chromosomes in all
Chromatin
a molecular complex, composed of DNA and associated proteins, that makes up the chromosomes of eukaryotic organisms
chromatid
one of the two identical strands of chromatin (DNA plus associated proteins) that make up a chromosome in its duplicated state
homologous chromosmes
chromosomes that are the same in function and hence size. species that are diploid (have two sets of chromosomes) have matching paris of homologous chromosomes; one member of each homologous pari is inherited from one male, the second member of each homologous pair is inherited from the female.
karyotype
a pictorial arrangement of a full set of an organism's chromosomes
binary fission
1. bacterial cell starts with a single, circular chromosome. 2. the chromosome replicates and the daughter chromosomes attach to different sites on the plasma membrane. 3. cell membrane and wall grow an extension between the attachment points of the two chromosomes. 4. the cell wall and membrane join together in the middle, resulting in two new cells.
