The Cell Cycle-7th Grade Latest Update
Graded A+
Spindle Fibers ✔✔fibers that attach to sister chromatids
Mitosis ✔✔division of the nucleus
Interphase ✔✔the longest phase: the cell grows and replicates its DNA and centrioles
I Played My Awesome Tuba Carefully stands for ✔✔Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis
Prophase ✔✔the first stage of mitosis or meiosis in eukaryotic cell division, during which the nuclear envelope breaks down and strands of chromatin form into chromosomes
Metaphase ✔✔second phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
Anaphase ✔✔the stage of meiosis or mitosis when chromosomes move toward opposite ends of the nuclear spindle
Telophase ✔✔the final stage of meiosis when the chromosomes move toward opposite ends of the nuclear spindle
Cytokinesis ✔✔The division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells immediately after mitosis.
Cleavage Furrow ✔✔the area of the cell membrane that pinches in and eventually separates the dividing cell
Centromeres ✔✔area where the chromatids of a chromosome are attached
Chromatids ✔✔two identical chromosomes that split and contain the same genetic material
DNA ✔✔deoxyribonucleic acid, the material that contains the information that determines inherited characteristics
