17
Q

Three types of asexual cell division

A

Binary fusion
Mitosis
Meiosis

18
Q

Why do cells divide

A

Organism creation
Growth
Repair- replace damaged cells

19
Q

There are 3 phases in the cell cycle:

A

Interphase
Mitosis
Cytokinesis

19
Q

Cell cycle-

A

the series of events that take place in a cell leading up to and including its division (the life of a cell)

20
Q

Interphase

A

period of cell growth in between cell divisions
cell spends most of its life (90%) in interphase
Consists of three smaller phases (G1 S & G2

21
Q

G1

A

-period prior to the synthesis of DNA
-the cell increases in size and organelles increase in number in preparation for cell division
critical checkpoint – everything must be in order before DNA synthesis

22
Q

G0

A

-Cells do not divide
-AKA resting phase
-period in which cells exist in a dormant state
-viewed as either extended G1 phase where the cell in neither dividing nor preparing to divide

23
Q

S

A

-copy of the cell’s DNA is made
-DNA is loosely organized into chromatin and looks grainy
-cell has 2 complete copies of DNA
