Biology Cell Cycle Review Diagram | Quizlet

Molecule that stores information

DNA

What happens at CYTOKINESIS

Division of the cytoplasm and two daughter cells are formed

Define Cytokinesis

The process of dividing the cytoplasm

Describe and define a chromatid, chromosome, chromatin

Chromatid: copies of the chromosomes; one of the two identical halves of a replicated chromosome. Chromosome: a thread-like structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus. Chromatin: the material of chromosomes which during interphase resemble a ball of thread.

Centromere

Region where two sister chromatids are joined

Phase ensuring cell is undamaged before mitotic phase

G2 phase

Phase cancer cell spends the most time in

mitosis or m-phase

Define benign, malignant, and metastasis

Benign: not cancerous; Malignant: cancerous; Metastasis: spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body

What happens to the number of chromosomes during the cell cycle

They replicate

Histone

Proteins that help organize and package DNA in a cell

How bacteria reproduce

Binary fission

Mitosis

Process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells

Cytokinesis

Division of the cytoplasm

Telophase

Final stage of mitosis, chromosomes de-condense, nuclear envelope reforms
