Cell Division And Genetics Flashcards
G0
When a cell stops going through the cell cycle
Cell cycle (stages)
G1
S
G2
M (mitosis and cytokinesis)
G0-> out of the cycle
G1
Growth phase 1
Cell grows, prepares for mitosis. Has a check point to see if the cell is large enough and has enough material for division. If all is well for division, growth factors promote the cell
S phase
Cell duplicates DNA
G2 phase
Replication of Organelles, checks DMA for errors and mutations
Interphase
All of g1, s and g2
Cytokinesis
After mitosis, a cell membrane forms between the two new cells and splits them apart.
In plant cells, a cell plate made of cellulose separates the two new cells, and vesicles defuse the cells from each other
Diploid
2N, a cell with both sets of chromosomes-> normal, non gamete cell
Haploid cells
N-> 1/2 the normal number of chromosomes, only In gametes
Somatic cells
Normal, diploid, non gamete cells
2N
Gametes
Sex cells, have N chromosomes (Half of normal)
Bianary fission
Asexual reproduction and cell division in prokaryotes, resulting in two identical daughter cells
Mitosis phases:
Prophase Prometaphase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase
Prophase
Chromosome becomes tightly coiled and folded
Pro metaphase
Diners from opposite ends of the mitotic spindle attach to the kinetic hires of the sister chromatids, chromosomes move towards midline
