The Cell Cycle, Cell Cycle Flashcards

6086841883	cytokinesis	Complete separation of the 2 new cells resulting from mitosis.	0
6086841884	mitosis	A process that takes place in the nucleus of a dividing cell, involves a series of steps, and results in the formation of two new nuclei each having the same number of chromosomes as the parent nucleus.	1
6086841885	interphase	Period of time where a cell carries out cell processes and replicates DNA prior to cell division	2
6086841886	prophase	Chromatin condenses into chromosomes	3
6086841887	metaphase	Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell	4
6086841888	anaphase	Sister chromatids separate	5
6086841889	telophase	After the chromosome separates, the cell seals off, Final Phase of Mitosis.	6
6086841890	chromatid	Each half of the chromosome	7
6086841891	chromosome	A doubled rod of condensed chromatin; contains DNA that carries genetic information	8
6086841892	centromere	Area where the chromatids of a chromosome are attached	9
6086841894	cell cycle	An ordered sequence of events in the life of a eukaryotic cell; process of growth and division.	10
6086841895	G1 phase	interphase stage of cell cycle where cell grows and carries out metabolic processes	11
6086841896	G2 phase	interphase stage prepares to divide by copying organelles	12
6086841897	S phase	interphase stage of cell cycle where cell replicates DNA	13
6086841898	Mitosis	stage of cell cycle where the nucleus divides	14
6086841899	Interphase	Majority of cell cycle is in this stage	15
6086841901	Checkpoints	stop to the cell cycle to check for damage	16
6086841902	Cancer	Cells skip checkpoints and divide uncontrollably	17
6086841903	Prophase	first stage of mitosis, nuclear envelope disappears, chromosomes condense	18
6086841904	Metaphase	second stage of mitosis, centrioles move to opposite ends of cell, spindle fibers attach to chromosomes, chromosomes line up in middle	19
6086841905	Anaphase	third stage of mitosis, spindle fibers shorten pulling chromosomes apart	20
6086841906	Telophase	fourth stage of mitosis, cells begin to form cleavage furrow (animal) or cell plate (plant) and divide	21
6086841907	Cytokinesis	final stage of the cell cycle, cells divide and move apart	22
6086841908	Prophase diagram	DNA fist condenses and forms chromosomes	23
6086841909	Metaphase diagram	Chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell.	24
6086841910	Anaphase diagram	Sister chromatids get pulled apart	25
6086841911	Telophase diagram	Two nuclei start to re-form, cleavage begins to form.	26
6086841912	Cytokinesis diagram	The division of the cytoplasm.	27
6086841913	Chromosome	Condensed DNA	28
6086841914	Centromere	central part of chromosome, joining the two sister chromatids	29
6086841915	Chromatid	single copy of DNA strands	30
6086841916	Centriole	organelle the sends out spindle fibers	31
6086841917	Spindle fiber	emerge from centrioles, attach to chromosomes to pull them apart during mitosis	32
6086841918	Purpose of mitosis	divides cells that are too large, replaces damaged/dying cells, allows for growth	33
6086896970	Cleavage furrow	a pinching of the cell membrane that begins to form in telophase	34
6086915728	Cyclins and Checkpoints	Regulation system for the cell cycle	35
6086915729	Cyclins	Signal each stage of the cell cycle to begin	36
6086921607	Carcinogens	tobacco, radiation, UV exposure, etc.	37
6086928011	7	If a parent cell has 7 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have?	38
6086930811	14	If there are 7 duplicated chromosomes? How many chromatids are there?	39
6086939588	sister chromatids	identical copies of DNA joined together at a centromere to form a duplicated chromosome	40
6086942895	23	how many pairs of chromosomes in a human cell?	41
