Biology-Meiosis And Mitosis Flashcards
Density dependency inhibition
Cell div slows as cell pop becomes denser
Anchorage dependence
Cells anchor themselves to a solid to divide
Growth factor
Protein secreted by cells that stimulate cells to divide
Cell cycle control system
Cycling operating set of proteins in cell that triggers and coordinated major events in cell cycle
Cancer cells
Disease of cell cycle, don’t have proper control system
Tumor
Abnormal mass of cells
Benign tumor
Abnormal mass of normal cells
Malignant tumor
Cancerous tumor
Matastasis
Spread of cancer cells
Carcinomas
Cancers in coverings, skin or intestine lining
Sarcomas
Tissues that support body there are cancer cells
Leukemia and lymphomas
Blood forming tissues
Somatic cell
Typical human body cell with 46 chromosomes
Autosomes
Chrom found in females and males
Synapsis
Hom chromosomes line up and create tetrad
Chiasma
Site of crossing over
Karyotype
Mag images of chromosomes that are made from stopping cells at metaphase and dying
Nondisjunction
Accident where members of a chromosome pair fail to seperate
What can Nondisjunction lead to?
Can lead to abnormal sex chromosomes
Deletion
When frag of chromosomes is lost
Duplication
When frag joined to homologous chromosomes
Inversion
If frag reattaches to original chrom in reverse
Translocation
Attachment of chrom frag to non homologous chrom
