Q4 Science - Cell Cycle Flashcards
Point where sister chromatids are joined together.
Centromere
Tips of a chromosome.
Telomere
It is described as the resting stage.
Interphase
Initial period of growth
G1 - Phase
Stands for Synthesis, it is when the DNA is synthesized to replicate.
S- Phase
It is the time for more growth. It is the sub phase that separates interphase from the mitotic or M- Phase.
G2 Phase
What are the Stages of Mitosis?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase (PMAT)
What Phase? The nuclear membrane and the nucleolus begin to breakdown.
Prophase
What Phase? Stranded chromosomes align themselves at the equator of the cell.
Metaphase
What Phase? The centromere splits separating the chromatids into new, single-stranded chromosomes.
Anaphase
What Phase? The cytoplasm divides, this is the final stage of mitosis.
Telophase
It is the division of the Nucleus.
Karyokinesis
It is the division of the cytoplasm
Cytokinesis
Cell division that takes place in the ovaries and testes of animals.
Meiosis
It is formed when the haploid sperm cell unites with the haploid egg cell.
Zygote (Diploid)
