19
Q

Mitosis

A

The division portion of the cell cycle, ensure that each daughter cell receives the full and correct number of chromosomes from the parent.

20
Q

Interphase

A
  1. Consists of G1, S, & G2 phases
  2. Time during which cell is carrying out its functions and growing larger.
  3. Repliates DNA as it prepares to divide.
21
Q

First Growth (G1) phase

A
  1. Cells grow larger

2. Carries out cellular functions

22
Q

Synthesis (S) phase

A
  1. DNA is replicated
  2. Sister chromatids are formed.
  3. Organelles increase in number
23
Q

Second Growth (G2) Phase

A
  1. Cells grow larger
  2. Prepares to divide
  3. Continues to carry out cellular functions
24
Q

Mitosis

A
  1. Equal division of DNA

2. Consists of four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

25
Q

Cell Division

A
  1. Consists of the four stages of mitosis and cytokinesis.

2. Time during which original cell produces two identical daughter cells.

26
Q

Cytokinesis

A
  1. Division of cytoplasm

2. Results in two equal cells.

27
Q

Stages of Mitosis: Interphase

A
  1. Cell carries out its functions.
  2. DNA is diffuse and called chromatin
  3. No chromosomes are visible
  4. Cell replicates DNA and organelles as it prepares to enter mitosis
28
Q

Stages of Mitosis: Prophase

A
  1. First stage of mitosis
  2. Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes called sister chromatins
  3. Sister chromatids are the result of DNA replication, two identical chromosomes connected by a centromere
  4. Nuclear envelope begins to break down.
  5. Spindle fibers appear.
29
Q

Stages of Mitosis: Metaphase

A
  1. Second stage of mitosis
  2. Nuclear envelope is gone
  3. Centromere of each sister chromatid attaches to spindle fibers
  4. Sister chromatids line up along equator of cell.
30
Q

Stages of Mitosis: Anaphase

A
  1. Third stage of mitosis
  2. Sister chromatids separate at centromere to produce individual chromosomes
  3. Chromosomes begin to migrate to the poles.
31
Q

Stages of Mitosis: Telophase

A
  1. Fourth stage of mitosis
  2. Chromosomes reach poles
  3. Spindle fibers disappear.
  4. Nuclei begin to reform
32
Q

Stages of Mitosis: Cytokinesis

A
  1. Physical division of cell following division of DNA.
  2. When complete, two identical daughter cells are formed
  3. Each daughter cell enters interphase and entire process begins again.
