Cell Reproduction Flashcards
Cell cycle
Complete sequence of phases- cell prepares for and undergoes cell division
Cancer
Resulted when cels lose normal controls that regulate their growth and division in cell cycle- may invade nearby tissues or spread throughout body
Chromosome
Structure composed of DNA wrapped with proteins
Cyclin
Proteins that control progress of cells through cell cycle
Cytokinesis
Cytoplasm divides
Daughter cell
Any cell produced by division of plant cell
Mitosis
Chromosomes separate, result in 2 genetically identical cells
Replication
Process where DNA is copied within each cell
Chromatid
Each pair of identical DNA molecules after DNA replication, joined at centromere
Chromatin
Protein/DNA complex, making the chromosome
Histones
5 kinds of proteins forming complexes with Eukaryotes
Kinetochore
Structure forming at centromere during mitosis for binding microtubules
Nucleosomes
Basic structural unit of eukaryotic
