Cell Divison Flashcards
What is interphase
Where most cell growth occurs
What is mitosis
The process by which a single parent cell divides to make new daughter cells
What is prophase
Where chromosomes condense
What is metaphase
Where chromosomes line up in the middle of a cell
What is anaphase
Where sister chromatids move away from each other
What is telophase
Where chromosomes move in opposite directions so two new cells can be formed from one
What is Cytokinesis
Where one cell physically divides into two daughter cells
What are chromosomes
A structure found inside the nucleus of a cell, that is made up of DNA and chromatids
What is G1
Where most of the cells’ growth occurs, where organelles and proteins are made
What is S
Where DNA is replicated
What is G2
Where it prepares for mitosis
What is cancer
Where cells divide uncontrollably
What is the G1 checkpoint
Checks if the DNA is ready and checks the growth
What is the G2 checkpoint
Checks if the DNA was replicated correctly
What is the mitosis checkpoint
In metaphase and checks to see if the chromosomes are lined up in the middle correctly and if the spindle fibers are attached
