1.5 Cell Structure and Function - Pt. 1 Flashcards
Main purpose is for propagation (maintaining) of the lineage…
Reproduction by cells
Results in 2 genetically identical daughter cells. The daughter cells are genetically identical to each other and the previous parent cell…
Cell Division
Occurs after division. The cells are growing and being able to perform its adult functions…
Maturation
This is necessary for normal growth and repair. And requires that DNA Reproduction take place…
Maturation
Entire genetic material for an organism or cell…
Genome
DNA has two different appearances…
Chromatin and Chromosomes
The loose state of DNA. It is like looking at a bowl of
spaghetti noodles. The DNA “noodles” can be moved around to find the gene segment of interest for Protein Synthesis…
Chromatin
The tightly coiled state of DNA. It looks like a cork screw
shaped pasta noodle. These are for dividing equally and easily…
Chromosomes
Your normal body cells. The cells that make up the majority of an organism…
Somatic cells
These are the proteins that help DNA coil up “condense” to form the chromosomes needed for division…
Histones
“Center unit”…
Centromere
This process refers to ordinary cell division…
Mitosis
