Mitosis Notes for Quiz Flashcards
the process that creates new cells
cell division
What are the two parts of the Cell Theory-
- living things are made up of cells
2. new cells come from existing cells
type of cell division tht results in two identical daughtercells, which means their genetics are identical -
Mitosis
Four times when mitosis occurs -
- growth
- healing injuries
- a sexual reproduction such as regeneration
- replacement of old or worn cells
they are thread-like structures found in the nucleus ; made of DNA
Chromosomes
What is the cell cycle -
G = cell growth S = DNA replication G2 = preparation for mitosis M = cell division
division of cytoplasm -
Cytokinesis
the five steps of mitosis -
interphase prophase metaphase anaphase telophase
the cell spends the majority of its time at this phase & where most activity happens in the cell -
interphase
nucleous starts to seperate at this phase & the centrioles and spindle fibers move -
Prophase
chromosomes are located in the middle & nucleus dissappears -
Metaphase
where the chromosomes are split in half at this phase -
Anaphase
where the chromosomes become thread-like -
telophase
