Cell division study Flashcards
Eukaryotic division can be split into the two stages-
Mitosis/Nucleus Splits
Cytokinesis/Cytoplasm Splits
When a cell is done growing, it divides itself into
two daughter cells.
Is this asexual or sexual reproduction -Mitosis?
Asexual
Chromosomes are made of what?
DNA.
Chromosomes aren’t visible in most cells except for during what?
Cell division.
Each chromosome consists of two what?
Chromatids
Where do pairs of chromatids attack to each other?
Centromere
What stage of the cell cycle to cells spend 90% of their time?
Interphase
What is the cell cycle?
A series of events that cells go through to grow and divide.
What happens during the M phase of the cell cycle?
Mitosis and Cytokinesis
What happens during the S phase of the cell cycle?
Chromosomes replicate/synthesize (Duplicates DNA)
What happens during the G(1) phase of the cell cycle?
Cells do most of their growing, synthesize new proteins and organelles
What happens during the G(2) phase of the cell cycle?
Many organelles and molecules required for cell division are produced. (Shortest part of interphase, preparation for mitosis)
What is the order of the cell cycle, all 5?
G(1), S, G(2), Mitosis, Cytokinesis
How many stages of mitosis are there?
4
What are the stages of mitosis, in order?
PMAT =Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
What phase takes up 50%-60% of mitosis, chromosomes become visible, centrioles sit and go to the ends of the cell, spindle line with with the spindle.
Prophase.
What phase do the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell, microtubule connect the centromere of each chromosomes to the poles of the spindle.
Metaphase.
What phase does the centromeres that join the sister chromatids split, and move towards the centrioles where the poles are. This ends when the chromosomes stop moving.
Anaphase.
What phase of mitosis does cytokinesis start?
Telophase
What stage of the cell cycle is when the cell membrane comes together and splits apart the cell into two new daughter cells. <animal
What stage of the cell cycle is when the cell plate gradually forms in the middle of the plant cell splitting the cell, the cell plate is the new cell membrane
Cytokinesis
