Cell Division and Levels of Organization Review

Front

Cytokinesis

Back

The process during cell division where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate daughter cells.

Front

Cell Cycle

Back

The series of phases that a cell goes through, including interphase and the phases of mitosis.

Front

Prophase

Back

The first stage of mitosis where chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

Cell Differentiation

Back

The process by which a less specialized cell becomes a more specialized cell type.

Front

Mitosis

Back

A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells, each having the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Front

Interphase

Back

The phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, including DNA replication.

Front

Metaphase

Back

The stage of mitosis where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.

Front

Anaphase

Back

The stage of mitosis where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite sides of the cell.

Front

Telophase

Back

The final stage of mitosis where the chromosomes de-condense and the nuclear envelope re-forms.

Front

Nuclear Division

Back

The process of dividing the nucleus during cell division, which includes mitosis and meiosis.
