Biology Unit 4 Flashcards
process by which a cell divides to form
two new cells
Cell Division
divides forming two new identical cells
Prokaryotes
Process that divides cell nucleus to produce two
new nuclei each with a complete set of
chromosomes
Mitosis
formation of sex cells
meiosis
If cells grow without a limit
DNA overload
Food and oxygen have to cross membrane very
quickly and Waste must get out
exchange of materials
DNA is copied, resulting in 2 identical chromosomes
DNA Replication
2 chromosomes separate, move towards ends (poles) of cell
Chromosome Segregation
cytoplasm divides, forming 2 cells
Cytokinesis
period of growth and DNA replication between
cell divisions
interphase
cells increase in size
G1 Phase
replication of chromosomes
S Phase
organelles double, new cytoplasm forms ,All other structures needed for mitosis form
G2 phase
contains cells genetic code
DNA
a matching pair in the chromosomes
Homologous Pair
