Q

A
preparatory phase or interphase
G1, S, G2 phase
25
- period where intense activity occurs
- The cell is actively growing, enzymes and other proteins are rapidly synthesized, and organelles increase in size and number.
- cellular contents, excluding the chromosomes, are duplicated
G1 phase
26

S phase
27

- cell "double checks" the duplicated chromosomes for error, making any needed repairs
G2 phase
mitosis
28
- The first phase of mitosis
- the appearance of the nucleus changes dramatically
- chromatin begins to condense and thicken, coiling into bodies referred to as __________.
- Each chromosome is double, composed of two identical chromatids representing the condensed duplicated strands of chromatin.
- These chromatids are joined at a constriction called the _________.
- By the end of the prophase, the chromosomes are fully formed, and the nuclear membrane and nucleoli are no longer visible, leaving the chromosomes free in the cytoplasm..
prophase
chromosomes
centromere
29

- __________, composed of microtubules, stretch from each pole of the cell to the kinetochore of each chromatid.
- _________ are formed during the late prophase. These are specialized regions on the centromere that attach each chromatid to the spindle. Other spindle fibers stretch from each pole to the equator.
metaphase
spindle fibers
kinetochores
30
- third phase
- spindle fibers separately pull the chromatids of each chromosome to opposite poles of the cell.
- divides the genetic material into identical sets with the same number of single chromosomes.
- At the end of the anaphase, the spindle is less apparent.
anaphase
31
- The chromatin appears again as the chromatids at each end of the cell begin to unwind and lengthen during the
- At each pole, a nuclear membrane reappears around the chromatin.
- Now two distinct nuclei are evident. Within each nucleus, the nucleoli become visible.
telophase
32
- marks the end of cell division.
- the cytoplasm separates the two identical daughter nuclei into two cells.
- begins during the latter part of anaphase and is completed by the end of telophase.
cytokinesis
33
- special type of cell division necessary for sexual reproduction in eukaryotes.
- gametes, or spores
- diploid cells become
meiosis
haploid
34
differs in two crucial respects:
1. The chromosomes in meiosis undergo recombination, producing a different genetic combination in each gamete.
2.The outcome of meiosis is four (genetically unique) haploid cells.
35
Heterotypic Division
Starts as diploid ends as haploid
Reductive Division Long duration
Ends with 2 daughter cells
meiosis I
36
Homotypic Division
Starts as haploid ends as haploid Equational Division
Short Duration
Ends with 4 daughter cells
meiosis II
37
process where a cell divides twice, forming four cells that each contain half the genetic information (2n→n).
meiosis
38
- form of asexual reproduction in which an organism divides into two, each part carrying one copy of the genetic material.
- It is observed in prokaryotes and single-celled eukaryotes.
binary fission
39
o the cell forms a protuberance called a bud. Which increases in size until it equals the size of the cell which formed it and then becomes detached, although frequently not until it has developed other buds.
budding
40
the parent body is split into pieces.
Each piece develops into a mature, complete individual identical to its parent.
fragmentation
41
The parent produces a large number of tiny spores into the environment.
These spores germinate to form new plants under favorable conditions.
Spores are highly resistant structures that can withstand harsh conditions.
spore formation
41
process by which some organisms replace or restore lost or amputated body parts.
regeneration
42
o giving off multicellular portions or vegetative outgrowths of the parent plant, such as bulbs, tubers, and runners which become detached and develop into a new plant
o It occurs frequently in nature but is also accomplished artificially through the removal by man of parts of the parent plant, such as stem or root cuttings or leaves, or by layering.
vegetative propagation
