Chapter 10.2 Cell Division Flashcards
Mitosis
First stage; division of the cell nucleus
What are the two stages in cell division in an eukaryotic cell?
Mitosis and cytokinesis
Cytokinesis
Second stage; division of the cytoplasm
What does the chromosomes carry?
The DNA , coded genetic information, and proteins
Chromatids
One of the identical “sister” parts of a duplicated chromosome
Centromere
Area where the chromatids of a chromosome are attached.
Interphase
Period of cell cycle between cell division
Cell cycle
The series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide
What happens during the cell cycle?
A cell grows , prepare for division, and divides to form two daughter cells, each of which then begins the cycle again.
What are the four stages of the cell cycle?
- M phase
- S phase
- G1 phase
- G2 phase
What takes place during the M phase?
Mitosis and Cytokinesis
During what phase when chromosome replicate?
S phase
What phases are between M phase and S phase?
G1 and G2 phase
What does the G stands for?
Gap
Which phase does the cell do most of their growing?
G1 phase
