cell cycle Flashcards
chromosomes
highly organized DNA
connects sister chromatids
centromere
what is the DNA formed as in interphase
chromatin
DNA form in mitosis
chromosomes
where the chromosomes line up in metaphase
metaphase plate
phases of the cell cycle and mitosis
Interface, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis
how much DNA does every cell contain
6 feet
chromatid
A single copy of DNA
histones
DNA binding proteins
nucleosome
DNA wrapped around histones
why can’t cells grow to be very large?
DNA overload, problems exchanging materials, ratio of surface area to volume
The method prokaryotic cells used to divide
binary fission
cells produced by prokaryotic division
identical, asexual
G1
interphase
cell growth
S phase
dna copied
g2
growth phase, extra organelles made
which types of cells almost never carry out cell division
nerve cells, muscle cells
when does the nuclear envelope disintegrate
prophase
when do the spindle fibers breakdown
telophase
when do the nucleus reform
cytokinesis
cytokinesis in plant cells
cell plate
cytokinesis and animal cells
cleavage furrow
longest phase of the cell
Interphase
shortest phase of the cell cycle
metaphase
what do chromosomes become visible
prophase
chromatin
loosely organized DNA
