Cell Cycle Flashcards
Interphase 3 stages
Gap1
Synthase
Gap2
Three main phases of cell cycle
Interphase
Metaphase
Cytokinesis
Interphase what is it?
Cell prepares for mitosis
Interphase how much of cells life
75-80%
G1 what happens
Cell performs normal functions and grows
Metabolic activity
S what happens
Cell grows
DNA is replicated
Makes 2 copies of each chromosome
G2
Cell finishes growing
2 centrosomes appear int h cytoplasm and move to opposite sides
Organelles replicate
Mitosis 5 phases
Prophase Pro metaphase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase
Mitosis what happens
Microtubule apparatus separates chromatids and forms two sets of nuclear data
Genetic material is sent to each daughter cell
Prophase what happens
Chromosomes become visible, shorter, thicker, condensed
Chromosome ‘x’ structure forms through condensation process
Microtubules appear from centrosomes
Nucleolus disappears
Pro metaphase what a happens
Microtubules attach to chromosomes at kinetochore
Nuclear membrane is broken down
Metaphase what happens
The chromosomes line up at the equator
Spindles are fully formed and attach to each sister chromatid
Anaphase what happens
Sister chromatids separate and are pulled to opposite sides
Telophase what happens
Nuclear membrane forms around the two clusters of chromosomes
Spindle fibers break up
Chromosomes uncondense and uncoil
nucleolus reforms
Cytokinesis what is it
Makes two daughter cells
