Cell Cycle and Mitosis Flashcards
1
Q
one set of chromosomes
* non-homologous
* happens in meiosis
A
Haploid Cells
2
Q
- two sets of chromosomes
- pairs of homologous chromosomes
- happens in mitosis
A
Diploid Cells
3
Q
two identical copies of a single chromosome that are connected by a centromere
A
Sister Chromatids
4
Q
region on a chromosome that joins two
sister chromatids
A
Centromere
5
Q
where spindle fibers attach during cell
division to pull sister chromatids apart
A
Kinetochore
6
Q
cell increases in size
* replicates DNA and prepares for cell division
* has three major steps namely G1 (gap 1), S phase (synthesis), and G2 (gap2)
A
Interphase
7
Q
- cell size increases
- lasts for 11 hours
A
G1 Gap 1
8
Q
- replicates the DNA
- produces sister chromatids that are joint together by
centromere - lasts for 8 hours
A
S phase synthesis
9
Q
- cell double checks any errors if the cell’s condition to
divide is favorable - double checks proteins, DNA, and cell energy
- lasts for 4 hours
A
G2 Gap 2
