The Cell (PPT based) Part IV Flashcards
also known as the gap phase
G2 phase
follows the S phase and extends to mitosis
G2 phase
lasts 2-4 hours
G2 phase
cell prepares to divide
G2 phase
centrioles grow to maturity
G2 phase
energy required for the completion of mitosis is stored
G2 phase
RNA and proteins necessary for mitosis are synthesized
G2 phase
follows the G2 phase
Mitosis
completes the cell cycle
Mitosis
involves Karyokinesis and Cytokinesis
Mitosis
division of the nucleus
Karyokinesis
division of the cytoplasm resulting in the production of two identical daughter cell
Cytokinesis
last 1-3 hours
Mitosis
4 major stages of Mitosis:
prophase
metaphase
anaphase
telophase
chromosomes condensed and become rod-like
Prophase
centrioles are forming asters
Prophase
nucleus and nuclear envelope disappear
Prophase
condensed chromosomes are aligned at the equatorial plate of the mitotic spindle
Metaphase
chromatids separate at the centromere
Anaphase
daughter chromosomes move to opposite poles of the cell
Anaphase
elongation of the spindle
Anaphase
formation of a cleavage furrow
Anaphase
