Cell Cycle Flashcards
cell divide into new daughter cells through a series of events that take place in steps
cell cycle
eukaryotic cells consist of 2 main parts
interphase
mitotic phase
first phase of the cell cycle
interphase
growth period where the chromosome gets duplicated
interphase
longest part of the cell cycle
interphase
how long usually is the interphase
23 hours
subphases of interphase
g1-phase
s-phase
g2-phase
first-gap phase where cell grow in size, synthesize cell organelles and other macromolecules
g1-phase
existing DNA is copied within the nucleus
s-phase
duplicated during this phase to spindle fibers
s-phase
cell grow further in size
g2-phase
preparation for mitosis gets completed
g2-phase
chromosomes condense into x shaped structures into this phase
prophase
what happens at the end of the prophase in the nuclear membrane
it dissolves and releases chromosomes
what happens to the spindle fibers during prophase
they extend across the cell and move to the poles of the cell
made up of microtubules and other proteins
spindle fibers
chromosomes line up at the equatorial plane
metaphase
centrioles are now at the poles of the cell
metaphase
mitotic spindle now attach to each of the sister chromatids
metaphase
sister chromatids are pulled apart by the mitotic spindle
anaphase
full set of chromosomes gather at each plate
telophase
membrane forms around each set of chromosome creating 2 nuclei
telophase
the single cell form a cleavage to separate daughter cells
telophase
difference between karyokinesis and cytokinesis on its division
karyokinesis (division of nucleus)
cytokinesis (division of cytoplasm)
difference between karyokinesis and cytokinesis on its content
nucleus is divided into 2 nuclei (karyokinesis)
cytoplasm, organelles, and nuclei divide to daughter cells (cytokinesis)
difference between karyokinesis and cytokinesis on its when it is initiated
initial (karyokinesis)
final (cytokinesis)
difference between karyokinesis and cytokinesis on its occurence
can occur without cytokinesis (karyokinesis)
dependent on karyokinesis (cytokinesis)
also called the resting phase
G0 phase
example of cells in G0 permanently
nerve cells and heart cells
