CELL CYCLE AND MITOSIS Flashcards
1
Q
¿In which stage most of the cells stay in?
A
In G-1 (Interphase)
2
Q
¿What mainly happens in G-2 of interphase?
A
Cell growth and increase of cytoplasm
3
Q
¿What is apoptosis?
A
Programmed cell death
4
Q
¿What mainly happens in the synthetic phase (S phase)?
A
DNA replication
5
Q
- Condensed chromosomes
- Nuclear enveloped disolved
¿In which phase of mitosis does this happen?
A
Prophase
6
Q
- Chromosome alignment in the metaphase plate
- The microtubules from both duplicated centrosomes attach to kinetochores
¿In which phase of mitosis does this happen?
A
Metaphase
7
Q
-The separate chromatids move toward opposite poles of the spindle
- As the chromosomes migrate, the cells elongate
A
Anaphase
8
Q
- Nuclear envelope reforms
- Distribution of the cytoplasm evenly between the two cells
- Chromosomes decondenses
A
Telophase
