Cellular Reproduction Flashcards
Cellular Growth
If cell get too big; can’t do what it gotta do
How big are cells
Average cells are 100 um in diameter
Surface are of a cell refers to
Area of plasma membrane
Volume of a cell refers to
All of cell contents
Diffusion over long distance is
Too slow
Why is communication difficult in a large cell
Chemical messages take too long to be delivered if the cell is too large
Life time of a cell
Cell cycle
What is the importance of cell reproduction
The reason we grow, heal, survive
Interphase
G1, S, G2
Mitosis
Nucleus and DNA of cell divides
Cytokinesis
Cytoplasm of cell divides
Is the non condensed, stringy, form of DNA
Chromatin
Chromatin condenses into dense X shaped structures 
Chromosome
What is the final result of mitosis?
2 cells called daughter cells and genetically identical, exact copies of DNA 
Produce spindle fibers that connect to chromosomes
Centrioles
Attaches to replicated chromosome to pull sister chromatids apart
Spindle fiber
Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, nucleus, disappears, spindle, fibers, start forming 
Prophase
Chromosomes attach to spindle fibers in a line along middle of cell 
Metaphase
Spindle, fibers, shorten, pulling chromatids apart to opposite poles of the cell 
Anaphase
Chromosome suite paws of cell come in please reforms, chromosomes condense into chromatin
Telophase
