CELL DIVISION AND THE HUMAN LIFE CYCLE (3) Flashcards
autosomes
are the 22 pairs of chromosomes that control traits unrelated to gender
karotype
picture of all chromosomes in their pairs
kromotid
copy of chromosomes held together by centromere
kromatin
DNA and proteins held together in a circle
phrophase
phase nucleus breaks
telephase
phase that puts the nucleus back together
cell division
meosis and mitosis
cell cycle
interphase and cell division together
interphase part
cell cycle not division
homogenous
meiosis line up equator pairs
antephase 1
pulling apart amologous pairs
antephase 2
pullings apart sister chromosomes
meosis
sexual reproduction by 1/2 the genetic material
sister chromosomes
held together by cuntromers
mitosis
growth and repair- identical genetic material
cell cycle
somatic cell division increases the number of cells in the body
apoptosis
programmed cell death
interphase
the cell gets ready to divide
mitosis
start with 46 and end with 46 chromosomes
- prophase-cell breaks up
- metaphase- nucleus lines up in the center
- anaphase- sister chrome separate (each side has identical copy)
- telophase- start to pull nucleus back together
sister chromatids
chromosome duplicates and is composed of two identical parts
centromere
holds double chromosomes together
centrosome
duplicates and migrates to opposite ends of the cell forming the poles
centrioles
short cylinders found in the centrosome and assist in the formation of spindle fibers
prophase
chromosomes become visible
- nucleolus disappears
- nuclear envelope fragments
- centrosomes move to opposite sides of the cell
- aster and spindle fibers radiate out from centrioles
- spindle fibers attach to centromeres
sex chromosomes
1 pair of chromosomes
meiosis
two nuclear divisions in the formation of haploid gametes
-end with 1/2 number of chromosomes
meiosis 1
- replication of DNA
- homologous chromosomes come together and line up side by side called synapsis
- divison forms 2 daughter cells
meiosis 2
- centrosome divides
- sister chromatids separate
- divison forms 4 haploid gametes (1/2 the number)
mitosis
- body (somatic) cells
- DNA replication
- 1 nuclear divison
- 2 diploid cells
- genetically identical
meiosis
- sex cells (gametes
- DNA replication
- 2 nuclear divisions
- 4 haploid cells
- not genetically identical
spermatogenesis
formation of sperm in the male
oogenesis
formation of eggs in the female
nondisjunction
occurs when both members of a homologous pair go into the same daughter cell during meiosis 1, or when sister chromatids fails to separate in meiosis 2
monosomy
cell has only 1 copy of a chromosome
turner syndrome (XO)
only 1 X chromosome (GIRL)
-short stature, broad shouldered, with folds on the neck, underdeveloped sex organs and breasts
trisomy
cell has 3 copies of chromosome
down syndrome
3 copies of chromosome #21
klinefelder syndrome (XXY)
(BOY)
-underdeveloped sex organs, breast development, large hands, and long arms and legs
jacobs syndrome (XXY)
tall, persistant acne, speech and reading problems
