Definition | Term |
The life of a cell, consisting of growth and division phases. | |
The ceasing of cell division, usually causing a state similar to G1. | |
The 'resting phase' of the cell cycle, consisting of G1, S, and G2. | |
Usually the longest part of the cell cycle, cells in arrest enter a state similar to this one for life. | |
The cell cycle phase during which the genes in the nucleus are replicated. | |
The entire complex of genes for an organism. | |
Thousands of genes attached together in a linear sequence | |
A special class of proteins that complex with DNA and give it protection and structure | |
A structural feature of chromosomes that attaches chromatids, is usually near the center of the chromosome. | |
Each end of a chromosome is capped by one of these structures | |
Each half of the doubled chromosome is known as a | |
When plant cells replicate their DNA before they begin to differentiate, resulting in an enlarged nucleus, it's called | |
When only some genes are repeatedly replicated, it's known as | |
The phase where cells prepare for division during which tubulins are synthesized is known as | |
Division of the nucleus | |
Division of the cytoplasm | |
Duplication division, the more common type of karyokinesis is known as | |
The phase of mitosis during which chromosomes condense | |
| Definition | Term |
The long set of microtubules between the centrioles | |
A structure consisting of two layers of proteins, one layer bound to centromere DNA, the other to spindle microtubules | |
The arrangement of chromosomes in the cell center is | |
The phase of mitosis where microtubules shorten, pulling each daughter chromosome away from its twin | |
The phase during which fragments of the nuclear envelope appear near chromosomes, where events are mostly in reverse of those in prophase | |
To prepare for cytokinesis, a set of microtubules and actin filaments aggregates into this, marking the plane of division (the future site of the cell plate) | |
A set of short microtubules aligned parallel to the spindle microtubules. Forms where the metaphase plate had been. | |
The phragmoplast, vesicle, and walls are known as the | |
A set of microtubules, actin filaments, and cytoplasm that accomplishes vacuole division. | |
A fused pair of sex cells | |
Having one set of chromosomes | |
Having two sets of chromosomes | |
Having four sets of chromosomes | |
Reduction division | |
Points where chromosomes appear to be tangled together | |
When karyokinesis creates multinucleate cells, a cell with many nuclei is called a | |
Microtubules parallel to plane of cell plate that are associated with green algae where nuclear envelope doesn't break down | |
