Cell Cycle Vocab Review

pattern of growth, DNA replication, and cell division that occurs in a eukaryotic cell

• Cell Cycle

• Cancer

• Somatic

• Replication

third phase of mitosis during which chromatids separate and are pulled apart to opposite sides of the cell

• Telophase

• Anaphase

• Prophase

• Cell Cycle

Common name for a class of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell division

• Checkpoint

• Diploid

• Cytokinesis

• Cancer

the first phase of mitosis when chromatin condenses (chromosomes pair up), the nuclear envelope breaks down, the nucleolus disappears and the centrosomes and centrioles migrate to opposite sides of the cell

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Chromatid

Cells that make up the body tissues and organs (not gametes/sex cells)

• Metaphase

• Cytokinesis

• Somatic

• Differentiation

the last phase of mitosis when a complete set of identical chromosomes is positioned at each pole of the cell, the nuclear membranes start to form, the chromosomes begin to uncoil, and the spindle fibers disassemble (two cells)

• Telophase

• Anaphase

• Diploid

• Cytokinesis

process by which the cell cytoplasm divides and two separate cells are formed

• Chromosome

• Chromatid

• Cytokinesis

• Checkpoint

Region of condensed chromosome that looks pinched; where spindle fibers attach during meiosis and mitosis

• Chromosome

• Centromere

• Chromatid

• Telophase

long, continuous thread of DNA that consists of numerous genes and regulatory information

• Chromosome

• Chromatid

• Centromere

• Cytokinesis

one half of a duplicated chromosome

• Chromosome

• Chromatid

• Checkpoint

• Centromere
