What is the nickname for telophase? | Terminate |
List the events that occur in prophase. | ChromatiN becomes chromosomes
Nuclear membrane dissolves
Organelles not involved in mitosis disappear
Centriole pairs separate and move to opposite poles, but remain connected with a network of microtubules called spindle fibers
Once at poles the centrioles form additional spindles to reach and attach to cell membrane. These fibers are called ASTER FIBERS (ANCHORS) |
List the events that occur in metaphase. | Spindles attach to the centromere of the chromosomes and pull them to the MIDDLE of the cell called the EQUATOR |

List the events of Cytokinesis in an ANIMAL CELL? | Division of the cytoplasm
Cleaves the cell into 2 cells
Animal Cells:
At equator the cytoplasm invaginates to form a cleavage furrow
The furrow continues to deepen until the cell is completely divided and two separate cells are formed
Plant Cells:
New cell plate (equatorial plate) forms at the equator |
How is a plant cell different from an animal cell during cytokinesis? | Plant cells have a sturdy, strong cell wall and cannot pinch the cell membrane like the animal cell; instead, a new cell wall is formed at the equator by making a cell plate or equatorial plate out of vesicles. |
What is cell division used for? | For growth
To replace damaged or non-working cells
Create new organism |
What scientist contributed that all cells come from preexisting cells? | Virchow |
What is a life cycle | formation of a new organism until that organism reproduces new organism(s) |
Define cell cycle | From formation of a new cell, as a result of cell division, to that new cell's division to produce more new cells. |
prokaryotic cell | cells without a nucleus (Ex: Bacteria) |
Somatic Cell | Body Cell |
Process that somatic cells divide | Mitosis |
Sex cell | germ cell |
Process that sex cells use to divide | Meiosis |
two types of Reproduction | Asexual
Sexual |
Asexual reporduction | one organism divides to make two new IDENTICAL organisms |
Types of asexual reproduction | binary fission
budding |
Sexual Reproduction | Two haploid cells fuse together to form a new organism that is a genetic combo of the parents. |
