Flashcards on Mitosis and Cell Cycle
Click on the flashcard to see the answer
What is mitosis?
Mitosis is the process of cell division where one cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
What are the main stages of the cell cycle?
The cell cycle consists of interphase and the mitotic phase.
What happens during interphase?
The cell grows, replicates its DNA, and prepares for cell division.
What are the stages of mitosis?
The stages of mitosis are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
What happens during prophase?
The nuclear membrane dissolves, and the chromosomes condense and become visible.
What happens during metaphase?
The chromosomes line up at the center of the cell.
What happens during anaphase?
The sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite ends of the cell.
What happens during telophase?
The chromosomes reach the opposite ends of the cell, and the nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes.
What is cytokinesis?
Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division where the cell membrane pinches in to separate the cytoplasm into two cells.
What regulates the cell cycle?
The cell cycle is regulated by a complex system of proteins and checkpoints.
What happens if the cell cycle is not properly regulated?
Uncontrolled cell division can lead to the formation of tumors and cancer.
What is a diploid cell?
A diploid cell contains two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.
What is a haploid cell?
A haploid cell contains only one set of chromosomes.
What is the purpose of mitosis?
Mitosis is responsible for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction in organisms.
What is meiosis?
Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces haploid cells for sexual reproduction.
