Cell division
The process by which a parent so duplicates it’s genetic material and then divides into two similar cells
Asexual reproduction
is a rapid and effective means of making new individuals the whole offspring resulting from asexual reproduction are clones of the parents organism and are genetically identical
G1
Growth, specialized cell function
S
DNA replication
G2
Spindles synthesis begins, preparation for mitosis
Prophase
Condensation of chromosomes, spindle assembly
Prometaphase
Nuclear envelope breaks down, chromosome attachments to spindle
Metaphase
Alignment of chromosomes at equatorial plate
Anaphase
Separation of chromatids, migration to poles
Telophase
Chromosomes decondense , nuclear envelope reforms
Cytokinesis
So separation, cell membrane and or cell wall formation
Kinetochores
Specialize protein structures that assemble on the centromeres, one on each chromatid an important for chromosome movement
Mitosis
The set of processes in which chromosomes become condensed and segregate into two new nuclei
Binary fission
Prokaryotes cell division results in the production of The entire single celled organism . Cell grows, replicates it’s DNA and then separates the cytoplasm and DNA into two new cells
Ori
The site where replication of the circular chromosome starts, the origin of replication
Ter
The site where the navigation acts, on the terminus of replication
Sexual reproduction
Involves the fusion of two specialized cells called Guinness and can result in Austin sample variation deployed and again it’s form by meiosis
Interphase
G1, S, G2
Mitosis
Prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis
Centrosome
an organelle near the nucleus of a cell that contains the centrioles (in animal cells) and from which the spindle fibers develop in cell division. Before the spindle apparatus forms, it’s orientation is determined which is accomplished by the centers out and organize them in the cytoplasm near the nucleus which consists of a pair of centrioles
Centrioles
Each one of the hollow tube porn by nine triplet microtubules a minute cylindrical organelle near the nucleus in animal cells, occurring in pairs and involved in the development of spindle fibers in cell division.
Three types of microtubules in the spindle
Polar microtubules, Astral microtubules, Kinetochore microtubules
Spindle
spindle-shaped structure, composed of microtubules, that forms near the cell nucleus during mitosis or meiosis and, as it divides, draws the chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell.
Chromatids
Share a centromere
