Cell Reproduction Flashcards
What are haploid a
Cells that have one set of chromosomes
What are diploids
Cells that have 2 sets of chromosomes
Karyotype
A picture of all the chromosomes in a cell showing their number and how they look
How many chromosomes are in the human cell
46
What are the steps of cell reproduction
Interphase, prophase, metaphase, telophase, cytokinesis
What are the phases of interphase
G1, s phase, G2
What happens in G1 of interphase
Cell grows
What happens in s phase of interphase
DNA is copied
What happens in G2 of interphase
Preparation for cell division
What’s a chromatid
Has 2 arms and centromere
What’s a chromosome
Has 4 arms and a centromere
What are the steps of mitosis
Prophase, anaphase, metaphase, telophase
What happens in prophase
1) nuclear membrane begins to break down
2) centrolies create spindle fibers
What happens in metaphase
Spindle fibers align chromosomes into the center of the cell
What happens in anaphase
Chromosomes are separated from their centromeres into chromatids and pulled by spindle fibers to opposite poles
