bronder BIO Flashcards
it is a type of cell division that results in two genetically identical cells -
mitosis
When does mitosis occur?
during growth
healing injuries
asexual reproduction
thread like structures found in the nucleus
chromosomes
what is the cell cycle?
G1
S
G2
M
whats in “G1” -
cell growth
what is in “S” =
Dna replication
what happens in “G2” =
preparation for mitosis
what happens in “M” =
cell division
what are the six phases in mitosis =
interphase prophase metaphase anaphase telophase cytokinesis
G1, S, and G2 (sometimes refereed to as F)
interphase
where the centrioles appear, nucleus dissappears, spindle fibers appear -
prophase
where chromosomes line up in the middle =
metaphase
where chromosomes get seperated by the spindle fibers pulling them apart
anaphase
its the opposite of interphase, where the nucleus appears =
telophase
division of the cytoplasm =
cytokinesis
its the cell division in which the # of chromosomes are cut in half
meiosis
there are how many divisions in meiosis -
two
it requires two parent cells each contributing half of the chromosomes found in the offspring -
sexual reproduction
half the # of chromosomes =
haploid
23 =
haploid
46 =
diploid
the normal amount of chromosomes =
diploid
a cell that is formed in union of sperm and egg
zygotte
any cell that isn’t a gamete =
somatic cells
chromosomes that occur in pairs and contain similar genes =
homologous chromosomes
pairing of homologous chromosomes
synapsis
exchange of a portion of a chromatid between homologous chromosomes =
crossing overr
group of two chromosomes each w/ two chromatids , four chromosomes total =
tetrad
what are the 8 stages in meiosis =
prophase 1 metaphase 1 anaphase 1 telophase 1 prophase 2 metaphase 2 anaphase 2 telophase 2
where the chromosomes duplicate and coil up
prophase 1
where paired chromosomes line up in the middle =
metaphase 1
chromosomes move to opposite poles -
anaphase 1
where the cell divides to form two cells =
telophase 1
where the individual chromosomes are visible =
prrophase 2
where the chromatids seperate and move to opppsite poles -
anaphase 2
where the cytoplasm divides resulting in 4 gametes or haploid cells =
telophase 2

happens during sexual reproduction =
meiosis
what does DNA stand for -
deoxyribonucleic acid
they are chemical that make up proteins =
nucleic acids
they make up everything =
proteins
where is DNA located?
in the nucleus
DNA carries the _______________ __________ to make proteins =
heredity code
what is the structure of DNA -
a double helix
who determined the structure of DNA -
watson and crick
it is a segment of DNA that controls protein production
gene
the ability DNA has to make an exact copy of itself -
replication
bases, phosphates, and deoxyribose are found in the ___________ -
nucleus
during replication, DNA _________
unzips
the enzyme responsible for the unzipping -
helicase
they are the basic unit of DNA -
nucleotides
what are the four nitrogen bases -
adenine, thymine
guanine, cytosine
what are the four bases all held together by?
hydrogen bonds
what does RNA stand for ?
Ribonucleic acids
RNA is ___________ stranded.
single
Just like DNA, RNA contain the four bases, except one is changed. what is it?
thymine - uracil
what are the 3 types of RNA -
mRNA - messenger
tRNA - transfer
rRNA - ribosomal
