Interphase
Definition:
Example: Interphase is first stage that consists of three other stages, G1,S, G2. Cells spend most of their time in phase growing, and replicating
Interphase
Definition:
Example: The first phase is normal cell activity, the second is replicating DNA, and the third phase is the cell grows again...
Prophase
Definition:
Example: In prophase, the chromatin condenses into chromosomes and the spindle fibers in the centrioles start to extend toward the center
Prophase
Definition:
Example: the first stage of mitosis , and nuclear envelope goes away. DNA also condenses to form chromosomes
Metaphase
Definition:
Example: Metaphase is the 3rd phase in the cell cycle where the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
Metaphase
Definition:
Example: The chromosomes line up along the middle (equator/metaphase plate)
Anaphase
Definition:
Example: The chromosomes are pulled apart to the poles of the cell and made into sister chromotid.
Anaphase
Definition:
Example: Anaphase is when spindle fibers begin to shorten and chromosomes separate, leaving sister chromotids to to move to each side
Telophase
Definition:
Example: when DNA is recondensed and it begins to seperate. (into cytokinesis)
Telophase
Definition:
Example: when the nuclear envelope reforms and two nuclei are formed with chromatin in it
Cytokinesis
Definition:
Example: Cytokinesis is when the parent cell is split into two identical daughter cells.
Cytokinesis
Definition:
Example: Cytokinesis is a phase in the cell cycle that splits apart the cell to form 2 new cells.
Cleavage Furrow
Definition:
Example: The place where the cell membrane and cytoplasm is split.
Cleavage Furrow
Definition:
Example: the outer membrane of a cell about to seperate into two during cytokinesis
Cell Plate
Definition:
Example: A cell plate divides the cytoplasm in cytokineses
Cell Plate
Definition:
Example: This is the middle or division line of a plant cell. When the plant cell undergoes cytokinesis, the cytoplasm divides and creates two cells.
Gap 1
Definition:
Example: The cell is growing and making proteins for DNA replication.
Synthesis
Definition:
Example: Each of the 46 chromosomes are duplicated by the cell.
Synthesis
Definition:
Example: Synthesis is the stage in interphase where the DNA replicates.
Gap 2
Definition:
Example: Where the cell grows again.
Gap 2
Definition:
Example: where the cell makes sure the cell has grown enough before it enters the next step
Chromosome
Definition:
Example: a chromosome is a condensed version of chromatin that contains DNA
Centromere
Definition:
Example: This is the center of a chromosome. Its job is to join the sister chromatids and the spindle fibers.
Centromere
Definition:
Example: The center of a chromosome where the sister chromotids meet.
Centrosome
Definition:
Example: a pair of centreols
Chromatin
Definition:
Example: relaxed DNA
Chromatin
Definition:
Example: Chromatin is the relaxed DNA that is found in the nucleus during the interphase stage.
Sister Chromatid
Definition:
Example: One chromosome that has been cut in half.
