5.1 Flashcards
how many stages are in the cell cycle?
3 stages
what are the three stages of the cell cycle
interphase, mitosis,cytokenisis
what is the proteins job during the cell cycle
proteins monitor the activities of the cell at checkpoints in the cell cycle
what can result/occur in the cell cycle
cancer may result when errors occur in the cell cycle
interphase
is the longest stage in the cell cycle which cells carry out the functions nessasary for survival and cells that divides prepare for reproduction
mitosis
mitosis diveieds the duplicated contents of the cells nucleus into 2 equal parts
cytokinesis
separates the 2 nuclei and cell contents into 2 daughter cells
what is the first stage of interphase
growth and preparation
growth and preparation
a cell increases in size and makes the proteins and molecules nessasary for the cell to function. some organelles begin to duplicate
What is the second stage of interphase
replication
replication
DNA copies or makes a replica of itself in a process called replication. the cell copies the 3 billion base pairs or DNA information in the nucleus of the cell
What is the third stage of interphase
continued growth and preperation
Continued growth and preparation
the DNA replicates and the cell continues to grow and is active making materials like proteins for the new cells that will be formed after cytogenesis also known as daughter cells. the final phase before cell division. organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts will be duplicated.
Cell makes materials such as proteins and duplicates organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts.
What is the first stage of the cell cycle?
interphase
What is the second stage of the cell cycle?
mitosis
