Document Summary
Cell division: cell growth and cell division go hand in hand, cell must pass through the cell cycle to undergo cell division. Interphase: g1 phase: variable depending on cell type, when cell decides if it wil divide again or go into g0, preparation for s phase; centrioles begin duplication. G0: quiescent state; cell is not actively dividing. Terminal differentiation: cells that exit the cell cycle, destined never to divide again (ex. Prophase: chromatin condenses (sister chromatids), centrosome divides into two, mt network breaks down and reorganizes around spindle poles, nuclear envelope retracts into er, golgi breaks down, can see individual chromosomes via microscope make contact with centrosomes at centromere. Prometaphase: fragementing of membrane of nuclear envelope, allows spindle mts to. Metaphase: kinetochore assembly, kinetochores associate with mitotic spindle. Telophase: mitotic spindle dissasembles, chromosomes decondense, nuclear membrane microtubules, chromosomes align along metaphase plate reforms, cell separates: cytokinesis: division of cytoplasm.
