4 phases

Prophase

metaphase

anaphase

telophase

Term

Describe Prophase

 What happens with chromosomes

Definition

Genetic material appears granularand nucleaus enlarges and forms elongates strands (chromosomal formation)

 

Chromosomes each have two chromatids where they shorten and thicken and the nuclear membrane breaks down, the spindle is formed, the fibers attach to centrioles where there is onecentriole per chromosome

Term
Describe metaphase
Definition
when the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell forming the equatorial plate, chromosomes are free to move, attach to the spindle by means of centromere, repelling eachother with arms poitned toward the poll and the centromere is duplicated.
Term
Describe anaphase
Definition
Two chromatds reple each other and migrate to oppistie poles ot ht cell. phase ends when duplocated chromosome is located at oppisite ends
Term
Describe telophase
Definition
chromsomes become elongated strands with nuclear membrane reconstruction. Cytokinesis occurs and ends when two duaghter cells are formed

Term
Describe Photoelectric Absorbtion
Definition
A phtoton interacts with a inner shell electron, and all of the energy is transfered to that electron which creates a photoelectron.

Definition
Occurs above 10MeV where the photon interacts and is absorbed by the nucleus. The nucleus becomes radioactive and ejects an neutron, proton -neutron combo, or and alpha particle

Term
What is G0 phase
Definition
Cell that shows no evidence of division
Term

During this subphase of the cell cycle the genetic material starts to appear grainy in and enlarging nucleus, forming elongated strands evenly distributed through the nucleus

Each chromosome has two chromatids where the nuclear membrane breaks down. Spindle is formed where fibers attach to centrioles

 

Definition
Prophase
Term
 This subphase of the cell cycle begins when the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell and form the equatorial plate. Two chromatids of each chromosome attach to spindle by means of centromere. Centromere is duplicated. Centrioles migrate to the poles with each chromatid attaching to an individual spindle
Definition
Metaphase
Term
This subphase of the cell cycle has two chromatids repelling each other and migrating along the spindle fiber to opposite poles of the cell. This phase ends when duplicated ends of the chromosome are located at opposite sides of the cell
Definition
Anaphase
Term
This phase has the chromosomes becoming elongated strands, reconstruction of the nuclear membrane and cytokineses occurs. This phase ends when two daughter cells are created
Definition
Telophase
Term
This part of the cell enables it to communicate with the extra cellular enviornment andtransfer food from one part of the cell to another
Definition
Endoplasmic reticulum
Term
This part of the cell is the actual sites of RNA synthesis
Definition
Ribosomes
