1. Single, circular chromosome is copied
Cell Division 8.2 (p )
Binary fission = prokaryotic cell (e.g. bacterium) splits into 2 identical cells
Single, circular chromosome is copied
Cell grows then divides into 2 identical cells (asexual)

6. Cell cycle = repeating set of events of a eukaryotic cell
Cell Division 8.2 (p )
Cell cycle = repeating set of events of a eukaryotic cell
INTERPHASE = between phase
PROPHASE = before phase
METAPHASE = next to each other phase
ANAPHASE = opposite phase
TELOPHASE = reorganize phase I P M A T

8. Mitosis = division of the cell into 2 identical copies (P,M,A,T)
Cell Division 8.2 (p )
Mitosis = division of the cell into 2 identical copies (P,M,A,T)
Sexually reproducing organisms

9. Interphase = time between cell divisions
Cell Division 8.2 (p )
Interphase = time between cell divisions
Most of cell’s life spent in interphase
Cell grows (G1 phase)
Cell makes a full copy of the DNA (S phase)
Cell prepares to divide (G2 phase)
What are the 3 subphases of Interphase?

10. Prophase = 1st phase of mitosis (preparation)
Cell Division 8.2 (p )
Prophase = 1st phase of mitosis (preparation)
DNA shortens and coils into tight chromosomes (pair of socks)
Nuclear membrane disappears
Centrosomes form at opposite poles of cell
Spindle fibers attach like strings to the centromeres to pull chromosomes apart
What is the difference between centromeres and centrosomes?

12. Cell Division 8.2 (p )
Metaphase = spindle fibers move the chromosomes to the equator of the cell
Where is the equator of the cell?

13. Anaphase = spindle fibers pull chromatids toward opposite poles
Cell Division 8.2 (p )
Anaphase = spindle fibers pull chromatids toward opposite poles
Where are the poles of a cell?

14. Telophase = chromatids loosen coils and nucleus begins to form again
Cell Division 8.2 (p )
Telophase = chromatids loosen coils and nucleus begins to form again
Cytokinesis = cell pinches in middle to separate into 2
In plant cells a new cell wall forms in the middle
