Cell Division/ Mitosis Flashcards
what are the 6 steps of cell division
cell growth
DNA synthesis
further growth
mitosis
cytoplasm separates
resting period
what is meant by growth in cell division
a new individual develops by a cell repeatedly dividing via mitosis
describe what happens during DNA synthesis
chromosomes are now double standard
describe what happens during further growth
chromosomes are grown and DNA is checked for errors
describe what happens when the cytoplasm separates
two cells formed after mitosis
describe what happens in the resting period
temporary cell resting period where all cells stop dividing
what happens in the first stage of mitosis
the cell chromosomes multiply into sister chromatids (replication)
what happens in the second stage of mitosis
spindles appear for the chromasones
what happens in the third stage of mitosis
chromosomes like up to the middle of the cell and spindles attach to them
what happens in the fourth stage of mitosis
chromosomes are pulled to the poles of the cell
what happens in the fifth stage of mitosis
cytokinesis ( membrane starts to separate)
what is the product of mitosis
two identical daughter cells
what happens to the genetic material before the cell divides during mitosis
the genetic material is copied
what type of reproduction is mitosis
asexual
give an example of an organism that multiplies via cell division
bacteria
