Cell cycle and Mitosis Flashcards
Biology
2 main stage of Cell division
1 Mitosis 2 Interphase
4 stages of the cell cycle
1 G1-(Growth)
2 S-(DNA Synthesis)
3 G2-(Cells grows more)
4 M-(Mitosis)
Explain G0
It is a resting phase in the cell cycle
Example of G0
Heart cell, red blood cells, neurons cell
Cell cycle definition
It is the living cells that go through a series of stages with ending each time it divides
Reasons that cell divides
1 Organism to grow
2 Create and identical copies of themselves
3 Replace or repair damage
4 DNA Overload
DNA Overload
When the cell becomes too large because of too much DNA
Name the Mitosis phases
1 Prophase
2 Metaphase
3 Anaphase
4 Telophase
Metaphase- (middle)
Chromosomes line-up in the middle the cell
Prophase- (Before)
Preparing for Mitosis
Telophase-( 2 cell phones)
The chromosomes are finally at the opposite sides of the cell
Anaphase- ( Away/ Apart)
Chromosomes move away to the opposite sides of the cell
Mitosis
Is the process that a single parent cell divides to make two new daughter cell
Surface area and Volume effects
Ratios
Small cells
1 High ratio
2 Really Good
