bio

The longest phase of the cell cycle.

interphase

The phase of mitosis in which chromosomes go back to being chromatin, the nuclei appears, and the mitotic spindle disappears.

telophase

Cells become specialized in their own functions.

cell differentiation

The duplicate of chromatin formed during the S phase.

sister chromatid

The final result of mitosis.

two genetically identical daughter cells

Non-sex cells.

somatic cells

The average duration of the mitotic phase in cells.

80 minutes

A common limiting factor in cells, which may induce cell division (mitosis).

cell membrane's size

Microtubule strands.

spindle fibers

Chromosomes migrate to opposite poles by the shortening of the spindle fibers attached to the kinetochores of the centromere, which separate the sister chromatids.

anaphase

The cell cycle phase in which the cell grows, performs all its biochemical functions, and self-scans for mutations at Go.

G1

The 3 reasons cells need to divide.

growth, repair, and reproduction?

These two opposite indentations form at the center of animal cells during the final part of telophase.

cleavage furrow

It is also known as the equator.

metaphase plate

Chromatin duplicates in preparation for mitosis.

the S (synthesis of DNA phase)phase

The cell cycle phase in which all the necessary enzymes for mitosis are made, cells finish growing, and the centrosomes appear.

G2

The proteins found in the centromere of chromosomes, which attach to the mitotic spindle fibers, so chromosomes can actually be moved around during mitosis.

kinetochores

Plant cells develop this to undergo cytokinesis.

Cell plate

Sister chromatids are facing this way at the end of metaphase.

facing opposite ways towards the poles

Cells that have the potential to specialize or differentiate into any type of cell.

pluripotent stem cells

An uncontrollable growth of cells because of mutagenic changes in the cell cycle.

cancer

The complete anatomy of a chromosome.

p (short arm) and a q (long arm) arm, a centromere (2 kinetochores), and telomeres?

The coiled DNA form found during interphase.

chromatin

Chromosomes highly condense going from chromatin to chromosomes, nucleus and nucleolus disappears, and the mitotic spindle appears.

prophase

The phase in the cell cycle in which cells are neither dividing nor preparing for cell division.
