The Cell Cycle Flashcards
Cell division in order
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase
Hint: PMAT
Prophase
Chromatin to chromosomes
Mitotic spindles forms
Nuclear envelope dissembles
Metaphase
Chromosome line up in the middle of the cell
Anaphase
Sister chromatids of each chromosomes are pulled apart into “daughter” chromosomes
Telophase
Essentially a reversal of prophase
DNA: chromosomes to chromatin
Spindles disassembles
Interphase
(Long Phase)- majority of cell’s life
-growth, cell performs job, prepared to reproduce(divide)
G1
Most of cells life
Cells doing its job
S
2nd copy of DNA is made
G2
2nd copy of organelles is made
Cytosol fluid is doubled
Cell division
(Short phase) division of the nucleus( DNA), cytoplasm and everything else.
Mitosis
Division of the nucleus
Cytokinesis
Division on the cytoplasm (everything else)
