Mitosis Flashcards
The 4 stages of mitosis
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
The cell increases its total mass and makes a copy of its DNA in preparation for mitosis.
Interphase
Major parts involved in mitosis
Nucleus, cytoplasm, centriole, microtubules, plasma membrane
Division of cell nucleus during mitosis
Karyokinesis
is the part of the cell division process during which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell divides into two daughter cells.
Cytokinesis
Which comes first karyokinesis or cytokinesis?
Karyokinesis
A process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. It occurs in germ cells
Meiosis
A process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells with the same diploid number of chromosomes. Takes part in somatic cells.
