Term
A cell cycle:
Definition
is the orderly sequence of events that extend from the time a cell is first formed from a dividing parent cell to its own division into two cells
Term
The cell cycle consists of two distinct phases:
Definition
Interphase
The mitotic phase
Term
Most of a cell cycle is spent in _________
Definition
interphase
Term
During interphase, a cell:
Definition
Performs its normal functions
Doubles everything in its cytoplasm
Grows in size
Term
the most important event of interphase is
Definition
chromosomes duplication, when the DNA in the nuclaus is precisely doubled
Term
chromosomes duplication, when the DNA in the nuclaus is precisely doubled, this occurs in the middle of interphase called:
Definition
S phase from DNA synthsis
Term
the interphase periods before and after the S phase are called
Definition
G1 and G2
Term
G1 and G2 stands for
Definition
gap
Term
during __________each chromosome in the cell consists of two identical sister chromatids,and the cell is preparing to divide
Definition
G2
Term
mitotic (M) phasethe:
Definition
part of the cell cycle when the cell is actually dividing
Term
mitotic (M) phasethe includes two overlapping processes:
Definition
Mitosis, in which the nucleus and its contents divide evenly into two daughter nuclei
Cytokinesis, in which the cytoplasm is divided in two
Term
Cytokinesis:
Definition
in which the cytoplasm is divided in two
Term
Mitosis:
Definition
in which the nucleus and its contents divide evenly into two daughter nuclei
Term
Cytokinesis usually begins before _______ is completed
Definition
mitosis
Term
the combination of ________and ___________produces two genetically identical daughter cells, each with single nucleus, the sorroundings cytoplasm with organelles, and a plasma membrane
Definition
mitosis ,cytokinesis
Term
Mitosis consists of four distinct phases:
Definition
(A) Prophase
(B) Metaphase
(C) Anaphase
(D) Telophase
Term
During mitosis the mitotic spindle,___________ , guides the separation of two sets of daughter chromosomes
Definition
a football-shaped structure of microtubules
Term
Spindle microtubules grow from___________ , clouds of cytoplasmic material that in animal cells contain centrioles
Definition
two centrosomes
Term
cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm into two genetically identical daughter cells, typically occurs during ________
Definition
telophase
Term
in animal cells the process is known as the first sign of a cleavage is the appearance of a ________
Definition
cleavage furrow
Term
cleavage forrow:
Definition
an indentation at the equator of the cell.
Term
a ring of microfilaments in the ___________ just under the plasma membrane contracts, like the pulling of a drawstring, deeping the furrow and pinching the parent cell in two
Definition
cytoplasm
Term
cytokinesis in plant cell occurs differently. membranous vesicles containing cell wall material collect at the _________ of the cell.
Definition
middle
Term
the vesicles gradually fuse, forming a membranouse disk called the ___________--
Definition
cell plate
Term
the cell plate grows :
Definition
outward, accumulatng more cell wall material as more vesicles joint in.
Term
eventually , the membrane of the cell plate fuses with the plasma membrane and the cell plate's contents join the parental cell wall. the results is the ___________.
Definition
two daughter cells
