1
New cards
Why cells divide
For growth, tissue repair, and replacing old or damaged cells
2
New cards
Cell cycle
Series of stages a cell goes through as it grows, copies its DNA, and divides
3
New cards
Interphase
Stage when the cell grows, performs its functions, and copies its DNA
4
New cards
Mitosis
Division of the nucleus that produces two genetically identical nuclei
5
New cards
Prophase
Chromosomes condense and become visible; the spindle begins to form
6
New cards
Metaphase
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
7
New cards
Anaphase
Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite ends of the cell
8
New cards
Telophase
New nuclei form around the separated chromosomes
9
New cards
Cytokinesis
Division of the cytoplasm, producing separate daughter cells
10
New cards
Mitosis vs meiosis
Mitosis usually produces two genetically identical cells; meiosis produces four genetically different cells with half the original chromosome numbe
