Cell Cycle |
The way in which the life of a cell progresses. |
Goes from interphase to mitosis and back again. |
|
Mitosis |
The process by which cells in a multicellular organism reproduce. |
Cell splits during mitosis. |
|
Interphase |
The period of time between cell reproduction. |
Interphase lasted for a long time in the brain cell. |
|
G1/G0 |
The time when a cell is just living and doing its job. |
The muscle cell multiplied its number of mitochondria during G1. |
|
S |
The part of the cell cycle where a cell doubles its amount of DNA. |
S stands for synthesis of DNA. |
|
G2 |
The part of the cell cycle when the cell is preparing for mitosis. |
Gap 2 is premitosis. |
|
Restriction Point |
The point in the cell cycle when the cell commits to mitosis. |
There's no going back. |
|
Cytokinesis |
The final part of Mitosis, when the cell physically splits in two. |
The cell splits. |
|
Cytokinesis |
The final part of Mitosis, when the cell physically splits in two. |
The cell splits. |
|
Daughter Cell |
Any cell that is the product of the mitosis of a previous cell. |
One half of the previous cell. |
|
Cytokinesis |
The final part of Mitosis, when the cell physically splits in two. |
The cell splits. |
|
Daughter Cell |
Any cell that is the product of the mitosis of a previous cell. |
One half of the previous cell. |
|
Nucleotide Base Pairing |
The pairing of certain nucleic acid units with each other to make a strand of DNA. |
A and T. C and G. |
|
Cytokinesis |
The final part of Mitosis, when the cell physically splits in two. |
The cell splits. |
|
Daughter Cell |

|
Nucleotide Base Pairing |
The pairing of certain nucleic acid units with each other to make a strand of DNA. |
A and T. C and G. |
|
Hydrogen Bond |
The molecular bond that connects an A and T or C and G. |
Between molecules that are faintly connected. |
|

|
Antiparallel |
When two molecules that are next to each other run in opposite directions. |
DNA strands can be Antiparallel. |
