Cell Reproduction (Mitosis) Flashcards
1
Q
1 to 22nd chromosomes
A
Autosomes
2
Q
- occurs in somatic cells
- results 2 identical daughter cells
A
Mitosis
3
Q
the one that undergoes G.D
A
Parent cell
4
Q
resulting cell
A
Daughter cell
5
Q
- longest phase
- chromosomes start to shorten and thicken
- nucleolus gradually disappears means the cell is preparing for cell division.)
- centrosome moves toward the separate end/pole (mitochondria and other organelle, being removed)
A
Prophase
6
Q
Stretches itself or cuts itself to move the chromosomes
- thickening of chromosomes
A
Spindle Fiber
7
Q
- between prophase and metaphase
- preparation for metaphase
- nuclear membrane degeneration and disappearance
A
Prometaphase
8
Q
*nuclear envelope disintegrates so that?
A
the chromosomes would break free
9
Q
- it is a protein complex found on the centromere
- attachment site of the spindle fiber
A
kinetochore
10
Q
Microtubules > Centrioles > Centrosome
A
fr
11
Q
- pole of cell/center of attraction
- made of centrioles
A
centrosome
12
Q
- made up of microtubules
A
centrioles and centrosome
13
Q
- not attached to the chromosome
- supports the cell by maintaining the shape of the cell
> where sister chromatids find its pair
A
non-kinetochore
14
Q
- chromosomes are in their densest form
- nuclear membrane completely disappears
- spindle fibers attach to kinetochore
A
Metaphase
15
Q
spindle fibers move and align chromosomes at the metaphase plate. Spindle fibers elongate or cut themselves.
A
