FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Cell Cycle Noun

[sel sy-kuhl]

Back

Cell Cycle


The regular pattern of growth, DNA replication, and cell division that occurs in eukaryotic cells to produce two daughter cells.

Example: This diagram shows the cell cycle, where a single parent 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 longest stage of the cell cycle where a cell grows, replicates its DNA, and carries out its normal functions.

Example: This diagram shows a cell in interphase, where the DNA (chromatin) has replicated and the cell has grown, preparing it for the next stage of division.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Mitosis Noun

[my-toh-sis]

Back

Mitosis


The process of dividing the cell nucleus and its contents into two genetically identical nuclei.

Example: A single parent cell first copies its genetic material (DNA) and then divides to create two new, identical daughter cells.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Cytokinesis Noun

[sy-toh-ki-nee-sis]

Back

Cytokinesis


The process that divides the cell's cytoplasm, creating two separate and identical daughter cells following mitosis.

Example: This diagram shows an animal cell dividing its cytoplasm to form two new, separate daughter cells, which is the process of cytokinesis.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Chromosome Noun

[kroh-muh-sohm]

Back

Chromosome


One long, continuous thread of DNA that is tightly coiled around proteins and becomes visible during cell division.

Example: This diagram shows a chromosome is a structure found inside the nucleus of a cell, made of tightly coiled DNA, and is duplicated before cell division.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Chromatin Noun

[kroh-muh-tin]

Back

Chromatin


The loose, uncondensed form of DNA and its associated proteins that is found in the nucleus during interphase.

Example: This diagram shows chromatin as the thread-like material packed inside the cell's nucleus, which contains the genetic instructions for the cell.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Centromere Noun

[sen-truh-meer]

Back

Centromere


The specialized region of a condensed chromosome that holds two sister chromatids together during mitosis.

Example: This diagram shows a replicated chromosome, where the centromere is the central point that holds the two identical sister chromatids together before cell division.
