A | B |
G1 | normal 1st part of interphase in cell cycle |
S | 2nd step in interphase cell cycle, DNA replication begins |
G1, S and then? | G2 |
prophase | chromosomes "pairs" first visible |
metaphase | chromosomes line up in the middle |
anaphase | sister chromatids separate , move apart |
telophase | 2 nuclear membranes begin to form |
cytokinesis | cutting in half of the cytoplasm |
mitosis | occurs in the nucleus only |
cell plate | plant cells have this during cytokinesis instead of a cell wall |
cleavage furrow | animal cell cytokinesis, cytoplasm pinches in |
spindle fibers | push and pull chromosomes around dring mitosis |
chromatin | thin strands of genetic material that will form chromosomes |
2 identical cells | goal of the mitosis process |
interphase | cells spend most their time in this phase |
