Somatic Cell Division Flashcards
1
Q
what is interphase?
A
most of a cell’s life cycle
2
Q
what is the mitotic phase?
A
the dividing part of the cell life cycle
3
Q
what is mitosis?
A
the process of cell division (4 phases)
4
Q
chromatin forms chromosomes, starts mitotic spindle, nucleolus disappears in which phase?
A
prophase (phase 1)
5
Q
chromosomes align, nuclear envelope disappears, mitotic spindle elongates in which phase?
A
metaphase (phase 2)
6
Q
sister chromatids separate, cytokinosis, cleavage furrows formation in which phase?
A
anaphase (phase 3)
7
Q
chromatids go back to chromatin, nucleolus forms, mitotic spindle disappears, new nuclear membrane in which phase?
A
telophase (phase 4)
8
Q
what is meiosis?
A
sex cell division, a second divison of cells without replication of DNA
