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
