Cell Division Flashcards
he said that “cells comes from pre-existing cell”
Rudolf Virchow
division of cells and its contents into two or more cells
cell division
why is it important for cell division to occur?
replace, repair, and reproduce
it is the preparatory stage before cell division
interphase
rapid growth of newly produced cells
creation of copies of organelles and molecular building blocks
G1 phase (first gap)
centrioles replicate
DNA replicates, producing 2 identical chromatids
S phase (synthesis)
grows more
makes more proteins and organelles
G2 phase (second gap)
reorganization of cell contents
G2 phase (growth gap 2)
cell size, nutrients, DNA integrity
G1 Checkpoint
DNA integrity, complete DNA replication
G2 Checkpoint
ensures that irreparable cells will not divide
apoptosis
chromosome alignment and attachment to spindle fibers
M checkpoint or spindle checkpoint
a type of cell division in which one parent cell divides to produce two new cells (daughter cells)
mitosis
production of 2 daughter cells that has same number of chromosomes
the 2 daughter cells are genetically identical
mitosis
produces body cells or somatic cells
