6.3 The Cell Cycle and Mitosis Flashcards
What are the different steps of the Cell Cycle have?
Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis
What occurs during interphase?
The DNA replicates
What occurs during Mitosis?
The copied chromosomes are moved into daughter nuclei
Where does Mitosis occur?
In somatic or body cells
What occurs during Cytokinesis?
The cell splits into 2 daughter cells
What are the different steps of Interphase and what occurs during each step?
G1: the cell grows and organelles duplicate
S: DNA replicates
G2: the cell makes proteins needed to complete Mitosis
Most of the Cell Cycle is spent in what phase?
Interphase
Mitosis produces what?
Genetically identical daughter nuclei
What are the four stages of Mitosis?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase
What is the difference between Animal cells and plant cells?
Animal cells have microtubules attached to centrioles at the poles of the cell
What happens during Metophase
Chromosomes are aligned across the middle of the cell by microtubules
What is Cytokinesis?
The stage in which two daughter cells are formed from the original one
What happens after Cytokinesis occurs?
The cells re-enter Interphase
In what cells do proteins pinch the original cell into two new cells?
In animal cells
What occurs in Cytokinesis in plants?
It starts with vesicles forming the Cell Plate which results in a new Cell Wall being formed between the cells forming daughter cells
