Term
Interphase (4)
Definition
chemical activity, no mechanical
cell grows
proteins produced
longest phase
Term
G1 (3)
Definition
high metabolic activity
proteins synthesised
RNA produced in nucleolus
Term
Synthesis (1)
Definition
DNA replication occurs
Term
G2 (4)
Definition
centrioles replicate
mitochondria and chloroplasts divide
cell continues to grow and produce proteins
no DNA replication
Term
Mitosis (3)
Definition
asexual reproduction, growth and repair
cell division into two similiar daughter cells
lasts less than three hours
Term
Prophase (5)
Definition
chromosomes condense and become visible
nucleolus disappears
centrioles move to opposing poles
fibres extend from centromeres
longest phase of mitosis (90%) and most complex
Term
Prometaphase (1)
Definition
nuclear membrane dissolves
Term
Metaphase (1)
Definition
spindle fibres align the chromosomes down the equator
Term
Anaphase (1)
Definition
chromatids separate and move to opposite poles
Term
Telophase (5)
Definition
chromatids arrive at opposite poles
chromosomes disperse and are no longer visible
spindle fibres disperse
cytokinesis may begin
membranes form around the daughter nuclei
Term
Cytokinesis (2)
Definition
partitioning of the cell
in animal cells - fiber ring of actin (a protein) around the middle of the cell contracts, pinching the cell into two
