biology task 2 Flashcards
cell division
interphase
the phase of the cell cycle in which the cell performs its normal functions and its genetic material is copied in preparation for cell division
interphase consists of 3 phases
G1
Synthesis
G2
what is synthesis
the photocopying and duplicating of the cell
what is G
the production of extra cell organelles like mitochondria or cytoplasm
pmat
prophase metaphase anaphase telophase
cytokinesis
the process in which the cytoplasm divides to form two identical cells
what happens in anaphase
the centromere splits
sister chromatids separate
they move to the opposite ends of the cell
what happens in metaphase
the sets of two chromosomes are copied and lined up with the fishing line into the middle of the cell
what happens in prophase
chromosomes are condensed and the nucleus disassembles
