|
Cell Cycle |
normal sequence of development and division of a cell
|
|
|
Interphase
|
the part where the cell is NOT dividing; cell grows, engages in normal activities; prepares for cell division; longest part of cell cycle; chromatin is duplicated
|
|
|
Mitosis
|
part of cell cycle where the nucleus divides |
|
|
Cytokinesis
|
division of parent cell's cytoplasm; occurs immediately after mitosis
|
|
|
Prophase |
DNA condenses, nuclear membrane disappears
|
|
|
Metaphase
|
chromosomes line up in the MIDDLE of the cell |
|
|
Anaphase
|
chromatids split and go AWAY to opposite ends of cell |
|
|
Telophase
|
nuclear membrane forms around each group of chromosomes |
|
|
Asexual Reproduction
|
one organism produces new organisms that are identical to itself and live independently of it |
|
|
Binary Fission
|
asexual reproduction that occurs in prokaryotes |
|
|
Regeneration
|
growing new tissue when limbs are lost |
|
|
G1 |
growth and cellular functions; organelle replication; rapid growth stage of interphase
|
|
|
S
|
growth & chromatid replication; organelle replication; nucleus duplicated; middle stage of interphase |
|
|
G2 |
growth & cellular functions; organelle replication; final stage of interphase |
|
|
chromatin
|
DNA during interphase; looks like spaghetti |
|
|
chromosome
|
made of two sister chromatids attached at the center by a centromere that looks like an X |
|
|
2 phase of cell cycle
|
Interphase & mitotic phase |
|
|
daughter cells
|
two identical cells produced at the end of the cell cycle
|
|
|
sister chromatids
|
identical strands of a chromosome
|
|
|
centromere
|
attaches sister chromatids together in the center |
