Interphase definitions Flashcards

A non-dividing stage of the cell cycle focused on growth, organelle production, and preparation for division.

The first sub-phase of interphase where the cell grows and performs normal functions, producing organelles and proteins.

The sub-phase of interphase characterized by DNA synthesis and centrosome replication.

The final sub-phase of interphase where the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis by producing necessary proteins.

A non-dividing state where cells do not replicate DNA or prepare for division, which can be temporary or permanent.

A cytoplasmic protein complex replicated during the S phase, crucial for forming the mitotic spindle.

Microtubule structures formed from centrosomes that coordinate chromosome division during mitosis.

A DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material of an organism, replicated during the S phase.

Two identical copies of a single replicated chromosome connected by a centromere.

Cytoskeletal structures that form the mitotic spindle, essential for chromosome movement during mitosis.

The series of phases that a cell goes through, including interphase and mitosis, for growth and division.

The phase following interphase where the cell divides its replicated DNA into two daughter cells.

A specialized subunit within a cell that has a specific function, produced during interphase.

A protein that acts as a catalyst in cellular processes, produced during interphase.

The process of replicating DNA, occurring during the S phase of interphase.
