CC2 Cells And Control Flashcards
Mitosis
A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and type of chromosomes . Used in growth.
1st Phase
Interphase (In-between)
2nd Phase
Prophase (Prepare)
3rd Phase
Metaphase (Middle)
4th Phase
Anaphase (Apart)
5th Phase
Telophase (Two)
Interphase
Duplicate of Chromosomes, duplication of other things/organelles.
Prophase
Membrane broken down on nucleus, Chromosomes condense/shorten.
Metaphase
Chromosomes move to the middle, spindle fibres begin to grow
Anaphase
The spindle fibres spit the chromosomes and drag them apart
Telophase
2 superate nuclei form.
Cytokinesis
Cells finally break apart.
Growth
The process of increasing in size.
Growth is measured in
Size
Wet mass
Dry mass
Size
Height, length, circumference and width
Wet mass
Includes all mass in an organism including the water in its body. (Highly variable)
Dry mass
Mass of an organism which does not have any water present
3 things for growth in plants
Cell division
Cell elongation
Differentiate
Cell division
Mitosis
Cell elongation
Takes place in plant cells only where the plant expands making the cell bigger. (Zones of elongation)
Differentiate
(Zone of differentiation) Stem Cells in Animals, in plants they are meristem.
Transport in a plant done by
Xylem
Phloem
Xylem transports
Water
Phloem transports
