interphase and mitosis
Term
what are the 3 phases of interphase
Definition

g-1

s-phase

g-2

Term
what are the 4 phases of mitosis
Definition

prophase

metaphase

anaphase

telophase

Term
what is g-1
Definition

length of time varies

rbc & nerve cells never divide

dna replicates

spindle apparatus forms

 

Term
what is g-2
Definition
chromosomes condense
Term
what must happen for the daughter cells to have the mother cells chromosomes
Definition
must have identical chromosomes to the mothers cell
Term
compare the length of time a cell stays in g-1
Definition

epithelial: hours

liver cells: 2 years

Term
list the events of prophase
Definition

nucleolus disintegrates

chromosomes condense from chromatin

Term
list the events of metaphase
Definition
chromosomes line-up along the equator
Term
list the events of anaphase
Definition
chromosomes separate and migrate to the poles
Term
list the events of telophase
Definition

nuclear membrane reorganizes

chromatin reappears

Term
what is chromatin
Definition
complex of DNA and proteins that form chromosomes
Term
what is a cleavage furrow
Definition
a groove that forms on animal cells during cytokinesis
Term
what is a cell plate
Definition
a structure that forms in the middle of dividing plant cells
Term
what is karyokinesis
Definition

"chromosome,motion"

when the chromosomes separate

Term
what is cytokinesis
Definition

"cell,motion"

when the cell splits

Term
what type of cells undergo mitosis
Definition
body cells
Term
definition of mitosis
Definition
when 1 cell divides to form 2 cells
Term
what are the consequences of unregulated mitosis
