Cell Cycle Flashcards
Series of changes a cell
goes through from the time
it is formed until it
reproduces
CELL CYCLE
period from cell formation to cell division
INTERPHASE
metabolically active cell, synthesizing proteins rapidly
and growing vigorously, duration is variable.
G1 subphase(Gap 1)
DNA is replicated, ensuring 2 future cells will receive identical
copies of the genetic material
S subphase
enzymes and other proteins are synthesized, centriole
replication is complete
G2 subphase (Gap 2)
Before a cell can divide, its DNA must be replicated exactly
During S phase, replication begins simultaneously on several chromatin
threads and continues until the DNA has been replicated
Sequence: 1) Uncoiling 2) Separation 3) Assembly 4) Restoration
DNA
REPLICATION
division of the nucleus,
is the series of events that
parcels out the replicated DNA
of the parent cell to two
daughter cells
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Mitosis
division of the
cytoplasm
Cytokinesis
