Eukaryotic Cells and Mitosis

Front

Lesson Objective: Explain

Back

Explain the importance of mitosis to living organisms.

Front

Anaphase

Back

The third phase of mitosis, in which centromeres are split apart and sister chromatids are pulled to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

Phase 2 of Interphase in the cell cycle

Back

G2: Gap phase 2 (growth)

Front

Centromere

Back

A cell structure that connects the sister chromatids of a chromosome.

Front

Cell division

Back

Occurs after cell duplication and involves the separation of sister chromatids.

Front

Chromatids in Telophase

Back

Chromatids reach opposite ends of the cell during telophase.

Front

Reversal of Prophase Changes

Back

In telophase, the original prophase changes are reversed.

Front

Cell Membrane in Telophase

Back

A cell membrane begins to separate the two nuclei during telophase.

Front

Cytokinesis Definition

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that divides the cytoplasm and plasma membrane of a cell.

Front

Cytoplasm Division

Back

Cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm.
