Chapter 3 Flashcards
Furrow
The site of pinching of the cell membrane during cytokinesis
Interphase
First phase of cell division normal cell function chromosomes copied.
Metaphase
Chromosomes move to the middle of the cell. Chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers at the centromere.
Mitosis
The process of duplication and division of the nucleus of a cell and the formation of two daughter cells.
Phase
Cell division is broken down into different pats called cells.
Prophase
Mitosis begins. Nuclear membrane disappears, chromatin shortens to become chromosomes, centrioles move to the opposite ends of cell, spindle fibers form.
Sister chromosomes
The duplicated chromosome that separates from the original during cell division
Spindle
Thread- like fibers attached to the chromosome pair that help separate the chromosomes during cell division.
Telophase
Chromosomes begun to uncool to form chromatin, nuclear membrane reforms, nucleolus reapears, mitosis is complete.
