FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Cell Cycle Noun

[sel sy-kuhl]

Back

Cell Cycle


The ordered set of steps that a cell repeats as it grows, prepares, and divides into two identical cells.

Example: This diagram shows the cell cycle, the process where a cell grows and divides into two new daughter cells through a series of stages.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Interphase Noun

[in-ter-fayz]

Back

Interphase


The part of the cell cycle when the cell grows, performs its jobs, and replicates its DNA in preparation for division.

Example: This diagram shows a cell in interphase, the phase where it grows and its DNA, shown as tangled chromatin, is copied before division begins.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Mitosis Noun

[my-toh-sis]

Back

Mitosis


The part of the cell cycle when the nucleus divides into two identical nuclei, involving four distinct stages.

Example: This diagram shows mitosis, a process where one parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells through a series of steps like prophase and anaphase.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Cytokinesis Noun

[sy-toh-ki-nee-sis]

Back

Cytokinesis


The division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells, which occurs after the completion of mitosis.

Example: This image shows cytokinesis, the final step in cell division where one cell's cytoplasm pinches in the middle to form two new daughter cells.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Chromatin Noun

[kroh-muh-tin]

Back

Chromatin


The loose, unpackaged form of DNA and proteins found inside the nucleus of a cell during interphase.

Example: This diagram shows chromatin as the thread-like material that fills the inside of a cell's nucleus, surrounding the nucleolus.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Chromosome Noun

[kroh-muh-sohm]

Back

Chromosome


A structure of tightly packaged DNA that becomes visible during cell division and is designed for moving genetic information.

Example: This image shows the X-shape of a duplicated chromosome, which is a tightly coiled structure of DNA that carries a cell's genetic information.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Sister Chromatids Noun

[sis-ter kroh-muh-tidz]

Back

Sister Chromatids


The two identical copies of a single replicated chromosome that are joined together by a region called the centromere.

Example: This image shows a chromosome made of two identical copies, called sister chromatids, which are joined together at the centromere.
