Steps of Cell Division Flashcards
Interphase
an intermission that prepares for cell division, cells spend most of their time in this phase, with 85% of cells being in this phase
M phase
The steps of Mitosis, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase and Cytokinesis
What is Cytokensis
The remainder of Cell division thats left
What is the Cell Cycle
Set of events that make up the life of a cell
The first phase of mitosis
Prophase
The second phase of mitosis
Metaphase
The third phase of mitosis
Anaphase
The fourth phase of mitosis
Telophase
Last phase of mitosis
Cytokenisis
Steps of interphase
Chromosomes are copied and appear as threadlike coils (chromatine), and sister chromosomes break down into sister chromatids
sister chromosomes
Identical copies of chromosomes
Steps of Prophase
Mitosis begins, (Cell division) opposite ends appear are move to the opposite side of the cell, spindle fibers form between poles, and the nucleus begins to dissolve.
Steps of Metaphase
Chromatids attach to spindle fibers at the equator of the cell
Middle of the Cell
The equator
Steps of Anaphase
Chromatids separate and move to opposite ends of the cell
