Cell Cycle - including Mitosis Flashcards
Learning Target #2
Name 3 reasons why cells must divide
* Reproduction * Repair * Growth
Name the Stage/Phase of the following diagram;
Prophase
What event(s) occur during prophase?
* DNA condenses & thickens to form Chromosomes (coiled DNA) * Nuclear membrane dissolves
What is diffusion?
Movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
Name the stage/phase of the following;
Interphase
What are the 3 stages of the cell cycle in order?
- Interphase 2. Mitosis 3. Cytokinesis
What event(s) occur during metaphase?
Chromosomes meet in middle of cell
What event(s) occur during telophase?
* Chromosomes stretch out (uncoils) and become invisible * 2 nuclear membranes reform around each DNA set
What event(s) occur during anaphase?
Sister chromatids separate and get pulled to to opposite sides of cell by spindle fibers
In what phase of the cell cycle does a cell spend most of it’s life?
Interphase
What event(s) occur during cytokinesis.
The cell cytoplasm and organelles are separated. Pinched apart in animal cells or cell plate forming in plant cells.
Name the stage/phase of the following;
Cytokinesis
Name the stage/phase of the following;
Anaphase
Name the mitosis phase of the following;
Telophase
Name the Stage/Phase of the following diagram;
Metaphase
