Cell Cycle Flashcards

1
Q

What is Interphase

A

Interphase is the portion of the cell cycle that is not accompanied by visible changes it includes the G1, S, and G2 phases. During interphase, the cell grows, replicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis.

Q

What is Mitosis

A

Mitosis is a part of the cell cycle in which replicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei.

Q

Prophase

A
  • Nuclear membrane disappears
  • Chromosomes begin to appear (DNA is condensed)
  • Centrioles (animal cells) move to poles
  • Spindle Fibers begin to form

Q

Metaphase

A
  • Chromosomes move to the equator of the cell
  • Spindle Fibers attach to the centromere of the chromosome

Q

What are sister chromatids

A

A sister chromatid refers to the identical copies formed by the DNA replication of a chromosome, with both copies joined together by a common centromere.

Q

What is the purpose of mitosis

A

The aim of mitosis is to ensure that the two daughter cells inherit an equal and identical complement of chromosomes

Q

When the rate of the cell cycle gets out of control what happens

A

Disruption of normal regulation of the cell cycle can lead to diseases such as cancer. When the cell cycle proceeds without control, cells can divide without order and accumulate genetic errors that can lead to a cancerous tumor.

17
Q

What is the product of mitosis?

A

2 identical daughter cells
