34
contents of chloroplasts: membranous system in the form of flattened, interconnected sacs
thylakoids
35
contents of chloroplasts: stacks of thylakoid

38
type of vacuoles: formed by phagocytosis
Food vacuoles
39

40
type of vacuoles; (plant cell only) its membrane is selective in transporting solutes
Central vacuoles
41
Provides channel between adjacent cells and form seals to prevent leakage of ECF
INTERCELLULAR JUNCTIONS - Marilyn Farquhar and George Palade (1963)

43
types of cells:

44
It has a centromere in the center, such that both sections are equal length.
Metacentric Chromosomes
45
It has a centromere slightly offset from the center leading to a slight asymmetry in the length of the two sections.
Submetacentric Chromosomes
46
It has a centromere which is severely offset from the center leading to one very long and one very short section.
Acrocentric Chromosomes
47
It has a centromere at the very end of the chromosome.
Telocentric Chromosomes
48
division of the nucleus to form 2 genetically identical daughter nucleus with diploid number of chromosomes
Mitosis
49
The Key Roles of Cell Division
* For unicellular organisms’ reproduction = binary fission * For multicellular organisms to grow & develop * For cell renewal and repair
50
INTERPHASE
* Nuclear envelope is intact * Chromosomes duplicate * Nucleolus still present * Centrioles duplicate
51
The 4 Mitosis Phases:
* Prophase * Metaphase * Anaphase * Telophase
52
* Centrioles move to opposite poles & form mitotic spindle * Chromosomes condense & form sister chromatids * Nuclear envelope starts to fragment * Nucleolus absent
PROPHASE
53
* Kinetochore microtubules attach at the kinetochore * Nuclear envelope is absent * Sister chromatids align at the metaphase plate * Centrioles at opposite poles
METAPHASE
54
* Cohesion dissolved causing sister chromatids to part * Kinetochore microtubules pull chromosome strands to the opposite poles
ANAPHASE
55
* Cytokinesis begins * Nucleolus reforming * Nuclear envelope starts to form * Chromosomes less dense
TELOPHASE
56
division of the nucleus to form 4 genetically unidentical daughter nucleus with haploid number of chromosomes
Meiosis
57
Separates homologous chromosomes
Meiosis I
58
Separates sister chromatids
Meiosis II
59
* Centrioles move to opposite poles & form meiotic spindle * Nucleolus absent * Chromosomes condense (Synapsis occurs and Crossing-Over occurs) * Nuclear envelope starts to fragment
PROPHASE I
60
Chromosomes appeared w/in the nuclear envelope but are NOT yet fully condensed (bouquet stage)
Leptotene
61
Synapsis occurs wherein homologs begin to unite by coming into approximate alignment
Zygotene
62
2 sister chromatids of each chromosome separate from each other making them look thicker
Pachytene
63
Fused non-sister chromatids begin to separate from each other by the chiasma (pl. chiasmata) movement toward the ends of the chromatids. This process of sliding toward the ends is known as terminalization.
Diplotene
64
Chromosomes coil tightly & so becomes shorter & thicker
Diakinesis
65
a process during prophase I, wherein replicated homologs pair up & become physically connected along their lengths by a zipper like protein structure, the synaptonemal complex
synapsis
66
genetic rearrangement between non-sister chromatids
crossing over
67
the physical manipulation of crossing over
chiasmata
