Cell Cycle
Cytokinesis
2 new cells are formed
Interphase
Chromosomes are copied
Anaphase
Chromosomes are pulled apart by the spindle fibers
Prophase
Chromosomes become visible, nucleolus and nuclear envelope disappear, and a spindle forms between the pairs of centrioles.
Mitosis
Chromosomes distributed equally to daughter cells
Metaphase
Chromosomes move to the center of the cell
Metaphase
Chromosomes move to the equator, with each chromatid attached to a spindle fiber by its centromere.
The difference between cytokinesis and mitosis
Cytokinesis is the division of cytoplasm while mitosis is the separation of chromosomes into sister chromatids
Mitosis
Cytoplasm divides
Interphase
Cytoplasm increases
Interphase
DNA synthesis occurs
Cytokinesis
Division of a cell's cytoplasm and organelles
Telophase
Division of a cell's nucleus
Difference of plant and animal cells during mitosis
In ___________, a new cell wall is fashioned between the new daughter cells. In ______________, the cell membrane constricts to pinch the parent cell into daughter cells.
Interphase
Longest phase
Interphase
Mitochondria and other organelles manufactured
Telophase
Nuclear Membrane begins to form
Mitosis
Nuclear material divides to form two daughter cells
Prophase
Nuclear membrane and nucleolus disappear
Interphase
Phase of growth and development
Interphase
Protein production high
Prophase
Spindle fibers begin to form
Anaphase
The centromeres split, and the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite sides of the cell.
Telophase
The final phase, in which two daughter cells are formed, each containing a complete set of chromosomes.
Why must the nuclear membrane dissolve during prophase
The nuclear membrane dissolves so that the chromosomes can move to the opposite sides of the cell
Interphase
The nucleus and nucleolus can be seen clearly. Chromosomes are not visible because they are in the form of uncoiled chromatin.
Mitosis
The period of cell division
Interphase
The period of cell growth
