Cell Division And Mitosis Flashcards
Increases the number of cells and causes many celled organisms to grow…
Cell division
Have periods of formation, growth and developement and death called life cycles.
Cells
most of the life of any eukaryotic cell, or cell with a nucleus, is a spent in a period of growth and developement
Interphase
structure in the nucleus that contains hereditary material
Chromosome
During interphase, a cell duplicates its ______________ and prepares for cell divison.
Chromosomes
After interphase, the nucleus divides, and then the ___________ separates to form two new cells
Cytoplasm
Process in which the nucleus divides to form two indentical _______
Nuclei
Nucleous and ____________ disintegrate
Nuclear membrane
move to oppisite ends of the cell
Centrioles
begin to stretch across the cell
Spindle fibers
pairs of chromatids line up across the center of the cell.
Metaphase
Anaphase
- each centromere divides
- each pair of chromatids separates and moves to opposite ends of the cell.
Telophase
Spindle fibers disappear and a new nucleus forms.
Results of Mitosis
- Each cell in your body except sex cells has the same number of 46 chromosomes
- Allows growth and replaces worn out or damaged cells
Asexual Reproduction
A new organism is produced from one parent organism.
