What is the division of the cytoplasm called quizlet?

What is the division of the cytoplasm called quizlet?

Cytokinesis

How is the cytoplasm divided?

The cytoplasm can be divided into two primary parts: the endoplasm (endo-,-plasm) and ectoplasm (ecto-,-plasm). The endoplasm is the central area of the cytoplasm that contains the organelles. The ectoplasm is the more gel-like peripheral portion of the cytoplasm of a cell.

What are the 2 types of nuclear division?

Nuclear division divides the genetic material in the nucleus, while cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm. There are two kinds of nuclear division—mitosis and meiosis.

What are the two main stages of cell division?

In eukaryotic cells, or cells with a nucleus, the stages of the cell cycle are divided into two major phases: interphase and the mitotic (M) phase.

What is the name for the in between phase in cell division?

Interphase

What is uncoiled DNA called?

chromatin

What two phases do cells spend the least time?

Mitosis is the process in cell division where the nucleus divides into two nuclei, each with an identical set of chromosomes. Mitosis is divided into four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. The shortest stage of the cell cycle is called cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm).

Which is the longest phase of interphase?

S Phase (Synthesis of DNA) The synthesis phase of interphase takes the longest because of the complexity of the genetic material being duplicated. Throughout interphase, nuclear DNA remains in a semi-condensed chromatin configuration.

Which cell has longest G1 phase?

G1 is typically the longest phase of the cell cycle. This can be explained by the fact that G1 follows cell division in mitosis; G1 represents the first chance for new cells have to grow. Cells usually remain in G1 for about 10 hours of the 24 total hours of the cell cycle.

What are G1 S and G2 collectively called?

The cell cycle consists of four distinct phases: G1 (Gap1) phase, S phase (synthesis), G2 (Gap2) phase (collectively known as interphase) and M phase (mitosis).
