Bio 141 Notes (3/20/14) Flashcards
Cells must _____ their DNA before they can divide
double
Sister Chromatids are
identical
Homologus
same length, same centromere position, same genes in the same order
Mitosis
Several defined phases
divide coped DNA between 2 daughter nuclei
cytokinesis
happens in SOMATIC cells
Cytokinesis
one CELL into two
Somatic
body cells
non sex cells
Mitosis vs Meiosis
Mitosis - somatic cells, exact copies
Meiosis - sex cells, 2n-> n
Interphase
span of time when the cells are not actively dividing
chromosomes are loosely arranged
eukaryotic
Prophase
Chromosomes coil (become recognizable) X shape (2 exact copies, joined together at centromere) nuclear envelope dissolves
Metaphase
chromosomes line up along median plane/equator
microtubles pull centromeres towards poles
Anaphase
sister chromatids separate and begin moving toward opposite poles
Telophase
Chomosomes reach poles at each end of cell
relax into loose strands again
nuclear membrane reforms
Cytokinesis
mitosis dividing 1 nucleus into 2
cytokinesis dividing 1 cell into 2
Mitosis happens at area of …
Growth
Number of nuclear division
Mitosis - one
Meiosis - two
