What type of cell division produces body cell identical to the original parent cell?
Mitosis
What type of cell division produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell?
Meiosis
What is the cell cycle
Sequence of growth and division of the cell
What are the three steps of the cell cycle
Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis
the cell is not dividing
Interphase
a part of interphase in which the DNA is copied.
S
a part of interphase when the cell grows and makes organelles
G1
A part of interphase when the cell copies centrioles & prepares to divide
G2
longest stage of the cell cycle
Interphase
chromatin coils into visible chromosomes
Prophase
nuclear envelope disappears
Prophase
Spindle fibers begin to form
Prophase
Spindle fibers move chromosomes to the middle of the cell
Metaphase
Spindle fibers pull sister chromatids apart
Anaphase
Centromere splits
Anaphase
Sister chromatids reach the opposite poles of the cell
Telophase
Spindles disappear
Telophase
nuclear envelope reappears
Telophase
cytoplasm splits
Telophase
Which type of cell "pinches in" during cytokinesis
Animal
Which type of cell forms a cell plate during cytokinesis
Plant
