Cell Biology 1.6 Flashcards
g1
the cell grows and increases in size, protein synthesis and respiration happen
s
dna synthesis. dna is replicated into 2
g2
cell grow and increases in size, centrioles replicate, mitochondria + chloroplasts replicated
prophase
dna condense by supercoiling so that chromosone become visible. the nuclear membrane breaks down, spindle fibers starts to grow
metaphase
chromosones line up along the equator. spindle fiber connect to each chromosomes
anaphase
chromosomes divide into sister chromatids. spindle fibers get shorter, which pulls the sister chromatids towards the polesp
telophase
chromsomes uncoil, nuclear envelop reforms, spindle fibers break down
cytokenis
the cell divide into 2 genetically identical daugther cells
mitotic index
number of cells doing mitosis : total number of cells
animal cell vs plant cell cytokenisis
animal: vesicles do not line up along the equator. does not need to form cell walls. cells are separated by a cleavage furrow
plant: vesicles lines up along the equator in order to form a cell plate. form new cell walls by forming a cell plate. no cleavage furrow form.
cytoplasm separates, 2 identical daughter nuclei are formed .
cyclins
family of proteins that controls the progression of cell through the cell cycle.
what causes cancer
mutagen, oncogene, metastasis
mutagen
physical or chemical factor that causes DNA mutation (UV ray, x-ray, radium, uranium)
oncogene
genes that have potential to cause cancer, are associate with promoting cell growth
metastasis
cancerous cell break off from a tumor, travel though the blood stream and causes a new tumor elsewhere.
