1
Q
Cell Cycle
A
- Series of changes a cell undergoes from the time it is formed until it divides.
2
Q
Differentiation
A
- A form of development
- Uncommitted cells become committed
- consequently able to carry out a particular function
3
Q
Interphase
A
- Preparation period before the cell can divide
- Must synthesize biochemicals and other contents
4
Q
Interphase Stages
A
- S Phase
- M Phase (mitotic)
- Mitosis
- Cytokinesis
5
Q
Mitosis
A
- Prophase
- Metaphase
- Anaphase
- Telophase
6

Prophase
A
- Chromosomes condense and become visible
- Nuclear envelope
7

A
- Chromosomes align along metaphase plate of cell
- Spindle fibers attach to kinetochores
