cell division Flashcards
what are the stages in order
interphase
prophase
pro-metaphase
metaphase
anaphase
telophase
cytokinesis
what occurs during the interphase G1
cell grows
organelles double in size
what occurs during the interphase S
chromosomes replicated
centrosomes replicated
what occurs during the interphase G2
error checks
what occurs at the 1st checkpoint
nutrient, size check
DNA check
what occurs at the 2nd checkpoint
size, DNA damage during replication
what occurs during prophase
chromosomes
mitotic spindle forms
centrosomes move
centromere forms
what occurs during prometaphase
nuclear envelope breaks down
chromosomes attach to kinetochore complex
what is the kinetochore complex
protein complex in the centromere that attach the chromosomes to the mitotic spindle
what occurs during metaphase
chromosomes align at the equator
sister chromatids attach to opposite poles of the spindle
what occurs at the meta anaphase checkpoint
check chromosomes are attached to the spindle
what occurs during anaphase
sister chromatids attach
kinetochore microtubules shorten
sister chromatids pulled to opposite poles
what occurs during telophase
nuclear envelope forms around fragments
contractile ring forms around the equator
what occurs during cytokinesis
contractile ring contracts to partion the cytoplasm
makes 2 daughter cells
what is the role of the cytoskeleton?
actin within the contractile ring
motor proteins move the chromosomes
kinetochore microtubules attach to spindle
