cell division:mitosis:genetics Flashcards
describe nature of eukaryotic dna
linear chromosomes that are made up of chromatin. 46(23 types A-W(shapes))
define allele
different versions of the same gene( Af(ather) Am(other) ) ex: E or e
define homologous chromosomes
contain same gene traits( Af(ather) Am(other) )
define ploidy
number of sets of chromosomes in nucleus (ex: haploid-1 set, diploid-2 sets, triploid-3sets, tetraploid-4sets)
define haploid #
numbwr of chromosomes in a complete set
define cell cycle
generation of a cell to division of a cell
what are 3 stages of cell cycle
interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis
what are the three stages of interphase?
Gap(G1)
synthesis(S)
Gap(G2)
what happens during Gap(G1)
growth, normal cell stuff, massive production of enzymes for DNA replication
what happens during synthesis(S)
dna replicated centrials replicate(mtoc) making dyads
what happens during gap(g2)
growth, massive production of tubulin, mitochondria and chloroplast replicate
define dyad
2 sister chromosome held together by a centromere
define sister chromatids
exact copiesof each other
define centromere
contains kinetochore protiens and holds th sister chromatids
What are the 5 phases of mitosis(nuclear division)?
prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telaphase+cytokinesis
what happens during prophase
chromosomes start to condense, centrioles move to opposite ends of cell, centrials produce polar microtubules+aster microtubules
what happens during prometaphase
nuclear envelope disappears, chromosomes finish conducting, centrials produce kinetochore microtubules, then spindle apparatus(p,a,k microtubules)
what happens during metaphase
k microtubules move dyads to center of the cell(metaphasis plate)
what happens durinf anaphase
polar microtubules get longer, centomere break, k microtubules shorten, pulls chromatids to opposite ends of cell
what happens during telephase+cytokinesis
chromatids reach opposite ends + get contained w/i nucleai, spindle apparatus disappear, chromatids decondense actin belt of metaphasic plate constricts to pinch cell in half(cytokinesis)
difference of plant cell division from animal?
the same except no centrials in MTOC, no aster fibers, cytokinesis occurs through cell plate formation
how to get a zygote?
sperm(1N)+egg(1N)—->zygote(2N)
define gametogenesis
the process of producing gametes, or sex cells, from diploid germ cells through cell division, meiosis, and differentiation
meiosis (reduction division) 2 divisions?
Meiosis 1 and Meiosis 2
