1
New cards
Mitosis
Division of the nucleus in which the chromosome number remains the same as the parent cell, occurs in somatic cells
2
New cards
prophase
Chromosomes become visible, nuclear membrane dissolves, spindle fibers forms
3
New cards
metaphase
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
4
New cards
anaphase
Phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell
5
New cards
telophase
Phase of mitosis in which a nuclear membrane reforms around each new set of chromosomes.
6
New cards
cytokinesis
Division of the cytoplasm during cell division
7
New cards
interphase
Consists of stages G1, S and G2 during which a cell grows and copies its DNA.
Cells spend most of its time in this phase.
8
New cards
centromere
Area where the chromatids of a chromosome are attached
9
New cards
centriole
Cell organelle that aids in cell division in animal cells only
10
New cards
spindle fibers
help pull apart the chromosomes during anaphase and are made up of microtubules
11
New cards
chromatin
loose DNA and protein that makes up chromosomes
12
New cards
chromatid
one of two identical "sister" parts of a duplicated chromosome
13
New cards
Cell Cycle
Made up of Interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis
14
New cards
DNA Replication
Occurs during S phase in which a cell makes a copy of the DNA in its nucleus.
15
New cards
Cytokinesis
The final stage in the cell cycle, in which the cell's ctyoplasm divides, distributing the organelles into each of the 2 new cells.
16
New cards
Cancer
A disease in which the body cells grow & divide uncontrollably, damaging the parts of the body around them.
17
New cards
cytoplasm
material inside the cell membrane-not including the nucleus
