Interphase |
Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle in which a typical cell spends most of its life. During this phase, the cell copies its DNA in preparation for mitosis. |
|
Cancer cell |
Grow on top of each other rapidly. |
|
Mitosis |
Mitosis is a part of the cell cycle in which chromosomes in a cell nucleus are separated into two identical sets of chromosomes, and each set ends up in its own nucleus. |
|
Daughter Cells |
The cells that result from the reproductive division of one cell during mitosis or meiosis. |
|
G1 |
Growth and normal metabolic roles. |
|
S |
DNA replication |
|
G2 |
Growth and preparation for mitosis. |
|
Cell Cycle |
A cell cycle is the process that the cells go. Every phase and station.
|
|
Cell Division |
When a Parent cell divides into two creating daughter cells. |
|
Parent Cell |
The parent cell is the cell that starts as the first cell of the daughter cells that are identical to each other. |
|
Prophase |
Prophase is the first phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. Duringprophase, the complex of DNA and proteins contained in the nucleus, known as chromatin, condenses. |
|
Metaphase |
Metaphase is the third phase of mitosis, the process that separates duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. Duringmetaphase, the cell's chromosomes align themselves in the middle of the cell through a type of cellular "tug of war." |
|
Anaphase |
Anaphase is the fourth phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. |
|
Telophase |
When the cell starts separating. |
|
cytokinesis |
Cytokinesis is the physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells. It occurs concurrently with two types of nuclear division called mitosis and meiosis, which occur in animal cells. |
|
Cell Wall |
a rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria. In the algae and higher plants, it consists mainly of cellulose. |
|
Chromatin |
One line of DNA. |
|
Centrioles |
Found in both plant and animal cells also known as churros. |
|
Microtubules |
Microtubules are filamentous intracellular structures that are responsible for various kinds of movements in all eukaryotic cells.Microtubules are involved in nucleic and cell division, organization of intracellular structure, and intracellular transport, as well as ciliary and flagellar motility. |
|
Nuclear envelope/membrane |
A nuclear membrane, also known as thenuclear envelope, nucleolemma or karyotheca, is the double lipid bilayer membrane which surrounds the genetic material and nucleolus in eukaryotic cells. The nuclear membraneconsists of two lipid bilayers—the inner nuclear membrane, and the outer nuclear membrane. |
|
Nucleolus |
The nucleolus is the nuclear subdomain that assembles ribosomal subunits in eukaryotic cells. The nucleolar organiser regions of chromosomes, which contain the genes for pre‐ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA), serve as the foundation for nucleolar structure. |
|
Poles |
Poles is just a way to describe where the centrioles go to. One on each opposite side. |
|
Spindle fibers |
en.wikipedia.org Spindle fibers form a protein structure that divides the genetic material in a cell. Thespindle is necessary to equally divide the chromosomes in a parental cell into two daughter cells during both types of nuclear division: mitosis and meiosis. During mitosis, the spindle fibers are called the mitoticspindle. |
|
Metaphase plate |
In metaphase, the centromeres of the chromosomes convene themselves on themetaphase plate (or equatorial plate), an imaginary line that is equidistant from the two centrosome poles. |
|
Cell plate |
Cytokinesis in terrestrial plants occurs by cell plate formation. This process entails the delivery of Golgi-derived and endosomal vesicles carrying cell wall and cell membrane components to the plane of cell division and the subsequent fusion of these vesicles within thisplate. |
|
Cleavage furrow |
The middle part that forms when the cell is dividing into two but not fully yet. |
|
G0 |
When the cell in rest mode. |
