Mitosis Flashcards
Deoxyribonucleic acid, a molecule that is presente in all living cells and that contains the information that determines the traits that a living triangle inherits and needs to live.
DNA
In a eukaryotic cell , one of the estructures of the nucleus that are made up of DNA and protein; in a eukaryotic cell the main ring of DNA.
Chromosomes
The life cycle of a eukaryotic cell
Cell cycle
The life cycle of a cell can be divided into three stages
Interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis.
The part of the cell cycle during which the cell is not dividing is called
Interphase
The cell grow about twice its original size. It also produces various organelles. The cell transports materials into the cell and get rid of wastes. The changes that occur during interphase prepare a cell for division. Before the cell divides, DNA must be duplicated. This ensures that after the cell division each new cell gets an exact copy of the genetic material of the original cell.
Interphase
In eukaryotic cells, is the part of the cell cycle during which the nucleus divides.
In eukaryotic cells, A process of cell division that forms two new nuclei, each of which has the same number of chromosomes.
Mitosis
Do prokaryotic cells go under mitosis?
No, because this cells don’t have nucleus.
What are the stages of mitosis?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
During what stage does the cell spend most of its time?
Interphase
The chromatin in the nucleus of a cell condensed and becomes visible under a microscope. Each chromosome consists of two chromatids held together by a centromere. The membrane around the nucleus breaks down.
Prophase
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. Centromeres of the chromosomes are the same distance from each side of the cell.
Metaphase
The chromatids separate. they are pulled in opposite sides of the cell. Each side of the cell ends up with a complete set of chromosomes.
Anaphase
A new nuclear membrane forms around each group of chromosomes. So, the cell now has two identical nuclei. The chromosomes become less condensed. cytokinesis begins during this phase.
Telophase
Three reasons that cells divide are
Reproduction, growth, repair
