Interphase - The nucleus appears normal, and the cell is performing its usual cellular
functions. The cell is also increasing all of its components, including such organelles as the
mitochondria, ribosomes, and centrioles, if present. DNA replication occurs towards the end.
(period of time between cell divisions)
Centromere - The chromosomes, which contain DNA, are duplicated and contain two
chromatids held together
Sister Chromatids - two daughter strands of a replicated chromosome joined at the
middle by a centromere
Mitosis - is nuclear division- results in two new nuclei, each have the same number of
chromosomes as the original nucleus.
Cytokinesis - When the cytoplasm divides, and two daughter cells are produced, usually
accompanies mitosis. Each Daughter cell receives a shar of the organelles that duplicated during
interphase.
Meiosis - Sexually reproducing organisms utilize another form of nuclear division. is a
form of nuclear division in which the chromosome humber is reduced by half.The nucleus of the
parent cell has the diploid(2n) # of chromosomes, 2 of them,. After complete, the daughter
nuclei have the haploid (n) number, or one set of chromosomes.
In animails, meiosis is a part of gametogenesis, the production of _______ - gametes (sex
cells)
As a result in meiosis, the ________ cells have 1/2 the number of chromosomes as the parental
cell - Daughter
, When it was discovered that DNA Replication and chromosome duplication occur during
interphase, the ______ _______ concept was proposed - cell cycle
Investigators have also discovered that cytoplasmic organelle duplication occurs during
__________. as does synthesis of the proteins involved in regulating cell division. -
interphase
What are the four stages of the cell cycle? - Growth (G1), Growth and DNA replication (S
for Synthesis), growth and final preparations for division (G2), mitosis (M)
How long is typical time required for the entire cell cycle for animal cells? - 18 to 24
hours. (Mitosis lasts less than an hour to slightly more than 2, for the rest of the time, the cell is
in interphase)
Nucleus - A large organelle containing the chromosomes and acting as a control center
for the cells
Chromosome - Rod-Shaped body in the nucleus that is seen during mitosis and meiosis
and that contains DNA and, therefore hereditary units, or genes
Nucleolus - An organelle found inside the nucleus, composed largely of RNA for ribosome
formation
Spindle - Microtubule structure that brings about chromosome orderly movement during
cell division to the daughter cell nuclei. It has fibers that stretch between two poles (ends). They
are bundles of microtubules, protein cylinders found in the cytoplasm that can assemble and
disassemble.
Chromatids - The two identical parts of a chromosome following DNA replication
Centrosome - The central microtubule-organizing center of cells; consists of granular
material; in animal cells, contains two centrioles. It divides before mitosis so that during mitosis,
each pole of spindle has a centrosome
Centrioles - Short, cylindrical organelles in animal cells that contains microtubules and
are associated with the formation of the spindle during cell division
Aster (animal cells only) - Short, radiating fibers produced by the centrioles
The ______cell is the cell that divides, and the resulting cells are called ________cells. -
parent, daughter
