Mitosis and cytokineses

What are the stages of the cell cycle?

G1, S, G2, M

Chromatids are

duplicate halves of a chromosome

Prophase

first and longest phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate and take up positions on the opposite sides of the nucleus

Sister chromatids are

genetically identical and attached to each other at the centromere

Chomotins are

hereditary material consisting of DNA and protein

Daughter cells are

identical

Benign tumors are

localized meaning it's cells do not invade other tissue.

Metaphase

second phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell

Telephase

4th phase of cell division. the chromosomes become longer, thinner, and less distinct. the nucleur membrane forms. the neocleolus reappears and cell division is nearly complete

Mutations are

Mistakes made during DNA replication.

cell plates form during

Mitosis in plant cells, to separate the two daughter cells.

Cancer is

any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division

Malignant tumors are

more likely to be life-threatening, the cells migrate and invade other tissues.

Chromosomes are

one pair of sister chromatids combined in the center by a centromere.

Mitosis

part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides

Cytokineses

the cytoplasmic division of a cell at the end of mitosis or meiosis, bringing about the separation into two daughter cells.

Centromeres are

the point at which the two chromotids, or sister chromatids, are held together.

Anaphase

the third phase of mitosis, during which the chromosome pairs separate and move toward opposite poles
