cell cycle (f) Flashcards
every cell will have:
cytoplasm, cell membrane, ribosomes, and genetic material
what is the cell theory
all living things are made of cells, all existing cells are produced by other living cells, and cells are the basic unit of life
is yeast uni or multicellular?
unicellular
is kelp uni or multicellular
multicellular
are diatoms multi or unicellular
unicellular
are bacteria uni or multicellular
unicellular
are amoeba uni or multicellular
unicellular
what is the importance of the cell cycle?
growth and repair
what are the three checkpoints in interphase
g1, s, g2
what does g stand for in g1 and g2
growth
what does the s stand for in s interphase?
synthesis
what are the 5 steps of mitosis
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokenesis
what are the two steps of the cell cycle
interphase and mitosis
interphase
cell grows and prepares for division
DNA Replicates
Centrioles appear
Prophase
Chromosomes condense (form sister chromatids)
Nuclear membrane disappears
Spindle fibers form
metaphase
Spindle fibers connect to the centromere of sister chromatids
Chromosomes move to the middle of the cell
anaphase
Sister chromatids separate & begin to move to opposite ends of the cell
They are now individual chromosomes
telophase
Nuclear envelope reforms
Chromosomes unwind (become thread like - chromatin)
Spindle fibers break down
Cytokinesis begins
cytokenesis
division of the cytoplasm
pinches cells into two equal parts
what are the two types of cells
prokaryotic and eukaryotic
example of prokaryote
bacteria
example of eukaryotic
plants
what does prokaryotes use for division
binary division
which type of cell has membrane bound organelles and a nucleus
eukaryotic
what does eukaryotes use for division
mitosis
are eukaryotic multi or unicellular
most are multi but some are unicellular
what are the two types of the cell cycle
external and internal
external regulation
signals that come from outside of the cell
example of external regulation
hormones and nutrients
internal
signals that come from the nucleus
example of internal regulation
dna in the cell and checkpoints
apoptosis
signals are sent to the cell to produce self-destructive enzymes
what organells is involved in apoptosis
lysosomes
how many chromosomes are there
23 pairs, 46 altogether
haploid
Half the number of chromosome from the parent cell
how many sets of chromosomes are in a haploid
one
meisosis
reproductive cells
diploid
the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell
how many sets of chromosomes are in a diploid
two
mitosis
somatic cellls
g1
synthesizes mRNA and proteins in preparation for steps leading to mitosis
g2
cell replicates its organelles in preparation of mitosis
s in interphase
dna is copied and chromosomes are replicated
centromere
holds the chromosome together
