Flashcards on Cell Cycle
Click on the flashcard to see the answer
What is the cell cycle?
The series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication.
What are the three main phases of the cell cycle?
Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis.
What is Mitosis?
The process of cell division where one cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
What are the phases of Mitosis?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.
What is Cytokinesis?
The process where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.
When does Cytokinesis occur?
After the completion of the Mitosis phase.
What are the main differences between Mitosis and Cytokinesis?
Mitosis involves the division of the nucleus, while Cytokinesis involves the division of the cytoplasm.
What is the purpose of the cell cycle?
To allow organisms to grow, develop, repair, and reproduce.
What happens during Interphase?
The cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for cell division.
What happens during Prophase?
Chromosomes condense, the nuclear membrane breaks down, and the spindle fibers form.
What happens during Metaphase?
Chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell.
What happens during Anaphase?
Chromosomes separate and move towards opposite poles of the cell.
What happens during Telophase?
Chromosomes reach the opposite poles, the nuclear membrane reforms, and the cell begins to divide.
What is the end result of Mitosis?
Two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
What is the role of the spindle fibers in Mitosis?
To help separate the chromosomes during cell division.
