front 1 Interphase | back 1 ![]() includes G1, S and G2 phases. It is the stage a cell spends most of its time. It is carrying out its role, taking in energy, making proteins, getting rid of waste, etc. |
front 2 G1 Phase | back 2 first stage of Interphase When most cell work is done |
front 3 S-phase | back 3 Time during interphase when DNA replication takes place |
front 4 G2 phase | back 4 second growth phase during interphase when organelles are copied and any other materials for cell division are prepared |
front 5 Mitosis | back 5 the division of the nucleus includes: Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase |
front 6 Prophase | back 6 The nucleus begins to break down Chromatin condenses to form chromosomes which pair with their identical copies. Centrioles begin to move to opposite ends of cell |
front 7 Metaphase | back 7 ![]() Sister chromatids move towards the equator of the cell. Spindle fibers attach to the centromeres. |
front 8 Anaphase | back 8 Spindle fibers pull sister chromatids apart and then individual chromosomes begin to move to opposite ends of cell |
front 9 Telophase | back 9 ![]() Chromosomes have reached the poles, a new nucleus begins to reform around them and then the chromosomes begin to uncoil and form chromatin. Spindle fibers break down. |
front 10 Cytokinesis | back 10 ![]() Cleavage furrow forms and separates animal cells into two identical daughter cells. In plants a cell plate forms that divides the cell into two and then and new wall forms around it. |
front 11 chromosome | back 11 chromatin that has condensed into short thick rods |
front 12 sister chromatids | back 12 a chromosome attached to its identical copy |
front 13 chromatin | back 13 ![]() DNA wrapped around histone proteins, appears as threads inside the nucleus |
front 14 centromere | back 14 ![]() the protein that holds two sister chromatids together |
front 15 spindle fibers | back 15 the protein chains that attach to the centromeres and move the chromosomes to opposite ends of the cel |
front 16 centrioles | back 16 organelles in animal cells that make the spindle fibers |
front 17 cancer | back 17 abnormal cell growth |
front 18 binary fission | back 18 ![]() process of cell reproduction in prokaryotes creates two identical cells |
