General Biology 1 (Part III) Flashcards
The sequence of stages from one division to the next.
Cell Cycle
It is an orderly progression of events that occur between the time a new cell has arisen from the division of the parent cell to the point when two daughter cells are produced
Cell Cycle
What are the 3 parts of the Cell Cycle?
Interphase
Mitosis
Cytokinesis
The First and longest stage of the Cell Cycle
Interphase
What are the 3 phases of Interphase?
G1 Phase
S Phase
G2 Phase
The cell’s primary growth phase.
G1 Phase
The cell copies its DNA to produce two sister chromatids and replicates its nucleosomes.
S Phase
Involves further cell growth and organization of cellular contents.
G2 Phase
The Period when chromosome divide.
Mitosis
What are the 4 stages of Mitosis?
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
During this phase, chromosome appear as long thin intertwined threads but, as this stage continues, the chromosome becomes shorter and thinner.
Prophase
Stars when the chromosome with spindle fibers attached has moved to the equator of the cell.
Metaphase
The centromeres divide, converting each sister chromatid into a chromosome.
Anaphase
The chromosomes have reached the opposite ends of the cell.
Telophase
Takes place toward the end of Mitosis.
Cytokinesis
Formation of a constriction called cleavage furrow at the equator of the cell.
Animal Cytokinesis
The dividing cell forms a similar structure called the cell plate.
Plant Cytokinesis
