2.2- How are new cells made? Flashcards
cell cycle
to generate a new cell from an existing cell
(inter, G1, S, G2 and mitosis)
interphase
a period of normal functioning, growth, and preparation for cell division
G1
duplication of organelles
G0
Progression to cell division is arrested
G2
cell grows and make final preparations for mitosis
synthesis
DNA is replicated to duplicate chromosomes
mitosis
continuous fluid process that results in the division of the nucleus
prophase
chromosomes condense and become visible
nuclear envelope dissolves, chromosomes become visible
centrioles move to opposite poles, forming spindle fibres
metaphase
chromosomes align
spindle fibres attach to the kinetochores
anaphase
sister chromatids separate witth spindle fibres pulling them to opposite poles
telophase
chromosomes begin to uncoil
nuclear envelope reforms
cell membrane pinches upwards
