A | B |
mitosis | nuclear division |
cytokinesis | cytoplasm division |
prophase | first phase of mitosis, spindle forms, nuclear membrane disappears |
metaphase | sister chromatids align at the center of the cell |
anaphase | sister chromatids pulled apart and move to the ends of the cell |
telophase | reverse of prophase, spindle disapperas and nuclear membrane reappears |
cleavage furrow | animal cells split apart following telophase |
cell plate | plant cells do not split apart due to the cell plate that will form the cell wall |
cell cycle | interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis |
interphase | where the cell spends the marjority of its time, cell is growing, not dividing |
G1 phase | part of interphase where cell growth occrus |
S phase | part of interphase where DNA is repliacated |
G2 phase | part of interphase where centrioles are duplicated and cell prepares to divide |
G1 | Checkpoint that checks nutrient and growth factors |
G2 | checkpoint that checks for DNA replication |
Metaphase | checkpoint that checks for spindle attachement to chromosomes |
centrosome | microtubule organizing center |
necrosis | cells killed from toxins |
apoptosis | programmed cell death |
