2.1.6 Cell Division Flashcards
The cell cycle
Interphase and mitotic phase
G1 everything except chromosomes duplicate
G0 temporary/permanent - too differentiated or damaged DNA
S chromosomes duplicate
G2 check chromosomes replication and make repairs
Mitosis
Cytokinesis

Meiosis

Organisation of specialised cells
Specialised cells-> tissues-> organs-> organ systems-> whole organism
Erythrocytes
Red blood cells
Neutrophils
Type of white blood cell
Grainy cytoplasm
Multi-lobed nucleus
definition of a TISSUE
A collection of differentiated cells that have a specialised function
Types of tissue
Nervous
Epithelial
Muscle
Connective
Squamous epithelium=flat
Ciliated epithelial=hairlike
Plants: epidermis (covered w waxy cuticle), xylem tissue, and phloem tissue
definition of an ORGAN
A collection of tissues adapted to perform a particular function in an organism
Stem cells
Undifferentiated
definition of POTENCY
Stem cells ability to differentiate into different types of cell
Totipotent
Can differentiate into any cell
Fertilised egg or zygote
Pluripotent
Can differentiate into all types of tissue but can’t form a whole organism
Early embryos
Multipotent
Can differentiate into a range of cells
Bone marrow
