Asexual Reproduction and Cell Cycle/ Mitosis

Is the entire series of events that cells go through when they divide

• anaphase

• phases of mitosis

• cytokinesis

is the process of the division of the nucleus in eukaryotic cells (body cells only). Usually includes four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

• cell cycle

• chromatid

• mitosis

• chromatin

is the 1st and longest phase of mitosis. Chromosomes become visible. The centrioles separate and move to opposite sides of the cell. Chromosomes become attached to fibers in the spindle at the centromere. Chromosomes coil more tightly. Nucleolus disappears. Nuclear envelope breaks down.

• metaphase

• prophase

• chromosomes

• mitosis

is the 2nd stage of mitosis. Often lasts only a few minutes. Chromosomes line up across the center of the cell. Microtubules connect the centromere of each chromosome to the two poles of the spindle

• metophase

• anaphase

• G1 phase

• chromosomes

is the 3rd stage of mitosis, in which the chromatids of each chromosome have separated and the daughter chromosomes are moving to the poles of the cell.

• G2 phase

• Prophase

• Anaphase

• Mitosis

is the 4th and final stage of mitosis, in which daughter nuclei are forming and cytokinesis has typically begun.

• anaphase

• fragmentation

• cell division

• telophase

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

The division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells immediately after mitosis.

• prophase

• cytokinesis

• centromere

• cell plate in plant cells

is the division of one cell into two. The reproduction of new cells.

• mitosis

• binary fission

• cell division

• asexual

carry genetic material, found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.

• mitosis

• cell plate in plant cells

• chromosomes

• S phase

NGSS.MS-LS3-1

one of two identical "sister" parts of a duplicated chromosome attached at the centromere. While joined, they make up one chromosome. These are separated during mitosis.

• S phase

• chromatid

• asexual reproduction

• cell plate in plant cells
