3a.1 cell division Flashcards
what are all cells made of?
mitosis
what ar\e the only type of cells not made from mitosies
gametes
when a cell divides by mitosis it…
- splits into 2 daughter cells
-where each has a diploid number of chroms
what are daughter cells?
genertically identical from the cells they came from & each other
what is a diploid
full set of chromosomes
(reg cells)
what is a haploid
half set of chromosomes
(gametes)
what always happens before mitosis?
dna replication
when can mitosis happen?
- asexual reproduction
- repair of tissue
- growth
what are the stages of mitosis
( 5)
- interphase
- prophase
- metaphase
- anaphase
- telophase
interphase blurt?
-b4 mitosis
- DNA replication
- cell organelles are synthesised
prophase
-chromosomes shorten and thicken to become visible
- nuclear membrane breaks down
- spindle fibres appear
metaphase?
- chromosomes line up on spindle fibres
- line up along equator of cell
anaphase?
chromosomes are seperated & pulled away to poles by shortening of spindle fibres
telophase?
- nucelar membranes reform
- chromosomes disperse
- cell divides into 2 via cytokinesis
where would meisos occur
in humans
in plants
ovaries and testes
ovule and anther
