    lophase

51
Q

eriod of growth and DNA replication between cell divisions

A

INTERPHASE

52
Q

INTERPHASE

A

G1 Phase

53
Q

A

S Phase

54
Q

Organelles double, New cytoplasm forms, All other structures needed for mitosis for

A

G2 Phase

55
Q
  • Nucleus disappears
  • Spindle fibers form in the cytoplasm - Spindle fibers attach to sister chromatids
A

I. Prophase

56
Q
  • The sister chromatids are pulled to the center of the cell
  • They line up in the middle of the cell
A

II. Metaphase

57
Q
  • Spindle fibers begin to shorten
A

III. Anaphase

58
Q
  • The sister chromatids are pulled to the opposite ends of the cell
A

CYTOKENESIS

59
Q
  • The sister chromatids arrive at the opposite poles of the cell and begin to unravel
    cytoplasm
  • Results in two separate daughter cells with identical nuclei
A

IV. Telophase

60
Q
  • It is the process of cell division that produces haploid gametes (half the number of chromosomes: humans: 23) (Total: 46)
  • In 1882, British cytologist Pierre-Joseph van Beneden observed that gametes (sperm & egg) contain half the number of chromosomes.
  • An egg and a sperm fuse to produce a zygote that contains two copies of each chromosome (one copy from the sperm and one copy from the egg). These are called homologous chromosomes. This is caled fertilization.
A

Meiosis

61
Q

are small, membrane-bound organelles that contain enzymes for oxidation reactions, breaking down fatty acids and detoxifying harmful substances.

A

Peroxisomes

62
Q

Convert hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

A

Detoxification:

63
Q

Involved in the breakdown of fatty acids.

A

Lipid Metabolism

64
Q

are organelles that serve as the main microtubule organizing centers in animal cells, playing a crucial role in cell division.

A

Centrosomes

65
Q

Play a key role in the formation of the mitotic spindle during __________.

A

Cell Division

66
Q

are oval-shaped organelles found in most eukaryotic cells. They are considered to be the ‘powerhouses’ of the cell.

are most plentiful in cells that require significant amounts of energy to function, such as liver and muscle cells.
