cell cycle (f) Flashcards
every cell will have:
cytoplasm, cell membrane, ribosomes, and genetic material
what is the cell theory
all living things are made of cells, all existing cells are produced by other living cells, and cells are the basic unit of life

unicellular
what is the importance of the cell cycle?
growth and repair
what are the three checkpoints in interphase
g1, s, g2
what does g stand for in g1 and g2
growth
what does the s stand for in s interphase?
synthesis
what are the 5 steps of mitosis
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokenesis
what are the two steps of the cell cycle
interphase and mitosis
interphase
cell grows and prepares for division
DNA Replicates
Centrioles appear
Prophase
Chromosomes condense (form sister chromatids)
Nuclear membrane disappears
Spindle fibers form
metaphase
Spindle fibers connect to the centromere of sister chromatids
Chromosomes move to the middle of the cell
anaphase
Sister chromatids separate & begin to move to opposite ends of the cell
They are now individual chromosomes
