BSC 2010C Chapter Notes - Chapter 12: Sister Chromatids, Cell Membrane, Cytokinesis
Document Summary
An ordered sequence of events in the life of a eukaryotic cell, from its origin in the division of a parent cell until its own division in two; composed of the m, g1, s, and g2 phases. A double membrane across the midline of a dividing plant cell, between which new cell wall forms during cytokinesis. Material present in cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells, important during cell division; the microtubule-organizing center. The complex of dna and proteins that makes up a eukaryotic chromosome. Cytokinesis in animals, characterized by pinching of the plasma membrane. The first sign of cleavage in an animal cell; a shallow groove in the cell surface near the old metaphase plate. A haploid cell, such as an egg or sperm. The complete complement of an organism s genes; genetic material. A specialized region on the centromere that links each sister chromatid to the mitotic spindle.
