Mitosis And Asexual Reproduction Flashcards
Division of the cell nucleus. First stage in cell division.
When the inside part of a light bulb breaks but is evenly broken into two.
Mitosis
Process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells
A star fish growing back a cut off leg
Cell division
Division of the cytoplasm. Second stage of cell division.
When you rip a string a part
Cytokinesis
Series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide (IPMAT)
Digestion in a child as that child grow
Cell cycle
In-between cell division, a period of growth
Growth spurt
Interphase
First and longest phase of mitosis. Chromosomes become visible and double, centrioles move and make the spindle, nuclear envelope disappears.
Prophase
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
Children lining up in the middle of the hallway
Metaphase
Sister chromatids move away from each other
Brown rice shell splitting as it is cooked
Anaphase
Chromosomes lose shape, cell membrane pinches in, nuclear envelope re-forms
A baby bird after it hatches starts to grow feathers
Telophase
Visible genetic material. Paired chromatids.
Your genes
Chromosomes
Two identical connected strands of a chromosome
Conjoined twins
Sister chromatids
Thin, unorganized genetic material
Bowl of spaghetti
Chromatin
Uncontrolled cell growth. Does not respond to normal growth regulation signals
Creates moles or lumps
Cancer
Process by which a single parent reproduces by itself.
Cells in your body
Asexual reproduction
Process by which DNA copies itself
Copy machine, everything is exactly the same
DNA replication
