Cell Cycle Vocab

Events in the life of a cell that results in growth, duplication of DNA in order to produce new cells

• metaphase

• diploid

• cell cycle

• interphase

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

Phase of cell growth prior to cell division

• G0

• G1

• G2

• S

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

Phase for DNA synthesis

• G0

• G1

• G2

• S

Cell goes through growth phase; DNA copy is checked for mistakes more cytoplasm and organelles are made

• G0

• G1

• S

• G2

Carries out normal functions but does not divide; these cells remove themselves from the cell cycle

• G0

• G1

• S

• G2

Part of the cell cycle that includes G phases and S phase

• mitosis

• cytokinesis

• interphase

• prophase

Part of the cell cycle where cell divides its identical copied DNA to make 2 identical diploid cells; includes prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase

• interphase

• anaphase

• mitosis

• cytokinesis

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

Phase in which replicated chromosomes condense; nuclear envelope breaks down; mitotic spindles begin to form

• prophase

• anaphase

• telophase

• metaphase

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

Phase in which microtubules attach to chromosomes aligning them on equator.

• telophase

• G1

• metaphase

• interphase

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

Phase in which sister chromatids are pulled apart by spindle microtubules; 2 sets of daughter chromosomes created

• prophase

• anaphase

• metaphase

• telophase
