What is this phase of mitosis?
Interphase
What is this phase of mitosis?
Prophase
What is this phase of mitosis?
Metaphase
What is this phase of mitosis?
Anaphase
What is this phase of mitosis?
Telophase
What is this phase of mitosis?
Prometaphase
What is this phase?
Under microscope
Interphase
What is this phase?

What is this phase?
Prometaphase
What is this phase?
Metaphase
What is this phase?
Anaphase
What is this phase?
Telophase
What is the G1 phase?
It is the first part of cell cycle apart of interphase
Organelle duplication, enzyme synthesis, preparation for DNA replication
What happens in the G1 phase?
Cells double in size; organelles, enzymes, and other molecules increase in number
What is the S phase?
The phase is the second part of interphase where DNa replication occurs and chromosome duplication
DNA copied
What happens during the S phase?
DNA associated proteins replicate
Two copies of the cells genetic info now exist
How is homologous chromosomes related to the chromatids formed after S phase?
homologous chromosomes pair up with each other to form a tetrad, in which four chromatids are present
How are chromatids formed?
Chromatids are formed during chromosome duplication, which occurs prior to cell division via the processes of mitosis and meiosis. The two “sister” chromatids in a pair are identical and are joined by a centromere.
In what phase does semiconservative replication occur?
S Phase
What is semi conservative replication?
It is when one new DNA strand forms from the older DNA template
How much DNA molecules are in a homologous chromosome?
One molecule of DNA
What does one homologous chromosome become?
It becomes two chromatids held together by a centromere
What does semi-conservative DNA replication form?
Molecules of DNA that are made up of one old and one new strand
What is the g2 phase?
Last part of interphase before cell division mitosis/meiosis
