Ch. 5- Cell Division Flashcards
Asexual reproduction
Producing of offspring identical to themselves.
All life depends on…
The ability to reproduce and grow.
Sexual reproduction
Organisms share genetic info to create a new combination resulting in a unique individual.
The cell cycle.
(P,M,A,T)-mitosis Cytokinesis G1- growth S-DNA replication G2-growth
Single cell splits into two
Mother cell to two identical daughter cells.
They continue to divide
Making specialized cells
The cell cycle is made of a
division phase and an interphase
The division phase is composed of…
Mitosis and cytokines.
Interphase involves
Cell growth and DNA replication
Chromosome structure
Sister chromatids Chromatid Centromere Kinetochores ---same DNA in each chromatid
Chromosomes contain both…
Called chromatin
DNA and proteins
Unduplicated or duplicated
Cell division
Interphase
During the G-phases the cell is growing
During the S phases, chromosomes go from Unduplicated to duplicated
Stages of mitosis
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Prophase
Cell begins to breakdown
Chromosomes begging condense, shorter, and thicker.
Spindle fibres and centrioles begin to form
Metaphase
2nd phase of mitosis
Chromosomes(made of sister chromatids) line up on the equator
Spindle fibres attach to chromosomes and centrioles
Chromosomes are entangled
Anaphase
3rd phase of mitosis
Centromeres are pulled apart and sister chromatids are separated
