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
