HW-VOCAB QUIZ
TOMORROW
1. TAKE OUT NOTES
Cell cycle-process from start to finish
Cell division/cell cycle-Interphase through Cytokinesis
Mitosis (M phase) Prophase through Telophase
Only divides the nucleus NOT the whole cell
Where does the cell cycle/division
occur?
All somatic (body) cells
Creates cells that are genetically the same
Identical DNA
interphase
Interphase-most common and
longest
G1-cell growth and development
cell doing the cell’s job
S-DNA synthesis
chromatin is copied to make two strands, one for
each new cell
G2-more cell growth and development
G0-cell exits the cell cycle and rests
Nervous cells are in G0
prophase
prophase
Chromatin thickens to become chromosomes (now visible)
Centrioles (plant cells do not have these) move to the poles of
the cell
Chromosomes attach to the newly formed spindle fibers
Nucleus dissolves
metaphase
Metaphase (m for middle of the cell)
Chromosomes line up along equator of cell
anaphase
Anaphase (a for apart-chromosomes
move apart)
Sister chromatids split
they are pulled centromere first
Start to reach the opposite poles
telophase
telophase
Chromosomes elongate and become
chromatin again
Nucleus reforms
Spindle fibers break down
Cytokinesis
Cytokinesis happens-division of the
cytoplasm and organelles using a
cleavage furrow
Each new cell begins interphase and
starts the cycle all over again.
Plant vs Animal Cytokinesis
Plants
Animal Cell
Form a cell plate in the
The cell membrane and
middle to divide the cell in
half
The cell plate will
eventually become the cell
wall.
cytoplasm pinch or cleave
in the middle until 2 cells
are formed
DO NOT NEED A CELL
PLATE

Answer the questions.
• 1. Most wbcs are needed for only a short time to fight
infection so they don’t have to live for a long time.
• 2. Cardiac muscle cells and neurons cannot divide,
injuries to the heart and spinal cord cannot heal. The
cells of smooth muscles can divide and heal through cell
division.
• 3. The cells lining the digestive system are more prone
to be destroyed.
• 4. Cancer cells are long lived and division can occur a
seemingly unlimited number of times.
