Cell Division Flashcards
1
Q
DNA replication
A
Occurs toward the end of interphase, the cells genetic material is duplicated exactly.
2
Q
What are the 2 processes of cell division?
A
- Mitosis
2. Cytokinesis
3
Q
What are the 2 major periods of a cells life cycle?
A
- Interphase
2. Cell division
4
Q
Mitosis
A
Division of the nucleus, resulting in 2 daughter nuclei.
5
Q
Cytokinesis
A
Division of the cytoplasm.
6
Q
Prophase
A
Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, Nucleolus disappears.
7
Q
Metaphase
A
Chromosomes cluster and become a line.
8
Q
Anaphase
A
Chromosomes begin to slowly move apart toward opposite ends of the cell.
9
Q
Telophase
A
Chromosomes reverse to become chromatin again, nucleoli appear.
10
Q
Interphase
A
The cell grows and carries on its usual metabolic activities.
