Study Notes
Cell Division Reinforcement
- Chromosomes: Found in the nucleus of dividing cells; appear X-shaped
- Sister Chromatids: Two identical halves of a chromosome, held together by proteins
- Chromosomes Composition: Composed of DNA wrapped around proteins
- Diploid Cells: Body cells containing the full chromosome number (46 in humans)
- Haploid Cells: Sex cells with half the chromosome number
- Cell Cycle Stage (Interphase): Cell copies DNA and performs normal functions
- Mitosis Stage (Prophase): DNA condenses into chromosomes
- Mitosis Stage (Metaphase): Chromosomes line up along the cell's equator
- Mitosis Stage (Anaphase): Chromatids separate and move to opposite sides
- Mitosis Stage (Telophase): Nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes
- Cytokinesis: The cell divides into two new daughter cells
- Centrosomes/Centrioles: Structure that anchors the spindle fibers
- Spindle Fibers: Structure that moves individual chromosomes during mitosis
