Mitosis Flashcards
Cell Cycle
When cells in an organism go through a cycle of growth and development and division
Mitosis
Process of the nucleus dividing
Interphase
The stage of cell cycle between periods of mitosis in which the cell grows
prophase
the first phase of mitosis during witch chromosomes condence and the neuclear membrane starts to dissaper
metaphase
2nd phase where chromosomes are lined up in the middle
Anaphase
3rd phase of mitosis were each chromosome is pulled to opposite sides of the cell
telophase
4th and final phase of mitosis during which a nuclear membrane forms around chromosomes on opposite sides of the cell and they become unwound DNA in newly formed nucleus
cytokinesis
A stage of the cell cycle membrane during which the cell membrane pinched in and the cytoplasm divides into 2 daughter cells after mitosis
centriole
an organell found near the nuecluse in animal cells that form the spindale fibers the pull chromosomes apert during mitosis
chromosomes
part of the cell that contains genes
DNA
The chemical found in cells that is the main component of chromosomes and carries genitic information
centromere
A structure that holds chromatids together
sister chromatids
2 identical chromatids that make up a duplicated chromosomes
daughter cells
The result of the cell cycle where 2 genetically identicle cells are formed
