Cell Divisions Flashcards
Is the series of changes the cell experiences from the time it is formed until it divides
Cell life cycle
Cell life cycle has two major periods
1) interphase ( metabolic phase)
2) cell division
In this phase cell grows and carries on metabolic processes, and it is longer phase of the cell cycle
Interphase
Cell reproduces itself
Cell divisions
For events in the interphase
G1
S (Synthesis or replication of DNA)
G2
G0
8 to 10 hours cell metabolically, organelle, duplication and cytosolic components, centrosome replication begins
G1
4 to 6 hours cell growth continues; enzymes and other proteins are synthesized; centrosome replication completed
G2
DNA replication
S (synthesis)
Exit from cell cycle
G0
Genetic material is duplicated and readies a cell for division into two cells
DNA replication
Occurs toward the end of interphase
DBA Replication
Nucleotides are complementary
____________ Always bonds with thymine (T)
____________ always bonds with cytosine (C)
1) Adenine
2) Guanine
Events of cell division
1) mitosis
2) cytokinesis
It is divisions of the nucleus and results in the formation of two daughter nuclei
Mitosis
It is divisions of the nucleus and results in the formation of two daughter nuclei
Mitosis
Division of the cytoplasm
Where it begins when mitosis is near completion and results formation of two daughter cells
Cytokinesis
Events of mitosis: ____________
Chromatin coils into chromosomes, identical strands called CHROMOSOMES are hold together by the CENTROMERE
Prophase
