Prokaryotes divide by binary vision
just a statement
Cell division functions in growth, replacement , repair and Asexual reproduction
just a statement
The Genome of Eukaryotes is organized into multiple chromosomes.
Just a statemenmt
The cell cycle: Mitosis alternates with interphase
Just a statement
Cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm
just a statement
Mitosis (Eukaryotes) may have evolved from binary vision
just a statement
A molecular control system drives the cell cycle
Just a statement
External and internal cues help regulate cell division
just a statement
Cancer cells escape controls on cell division
just a statement
define Genome
A cells endowment of DNA. its genetic info
Define Chromatin
Together , the entire complex of DNA and proteins tht is the building material of chromosomes
Define somatic cells
All body cells except the reproductive cells
Define Gametes
Reproductive cells, eggs and sperm
Define sister chromatids
Joined copies of the original chromosomes .
Define centromere
a region of the chromosomal DNA where the chromatid is attached ,ost closest to its sister chromatid
Define Mitosis
The division of the genetic material in the nucleus .
Define Cytokinesis
The division of the cytoplasm
Define spindle
Consists of fibers made of microtubules and associated proteins
What are the five stages of Mitosis
Interphase - G1, S , G2 Prophase Prometaphase metaphase anaphase telophase/ cytokinesis
At what specific phase is the DNA condensed, diffused, and replicated?
G1 - chromosomes or DNA are diffused
S - Chromosomes or DNA are replicated
G2 - Chromosomes are condensed
The process of mitosis
Interphase
G1- No change in DNA
S - DNA Replicated
G2 - Centromeres replicated
Prophase - Chromosomes move apart and spindle forms
Prometaphase - Nuclear envelope breaks down. spindles still form, microtubules attach to chr. through kinetochore. Chr begin to line up.
Metaphase - All chr are lined up at the metaphase plate between the 2 spindle poles as the spindle still forming.
Anaphase - Chr break from the metaphase plate, split one to each end, spindle still forming
Telophase - Chr to chromatin, reform nuclear env., spindle breaking down
Cytokinesis - Break down rest of cell, actin filaments pinch cytoplasm, cleavage furrow pinches the cell of into 2 cells (like a belt )
