Chap. 4: Tissue Types + Cell Cycle Flashcards
stem cells
a cell that develops into many different cells during early development
- acts as internal repair system to some tissues
What are the two types of stem cells?
embryonic and adult
embryonic stem cells (the types, and characteristics)
- pluripotent and induced pluripotent stem cells
- becomes all cell types
- are not different (they’re the same)
adult stem cells (the types, location, characteristics, what it’s used for)
non-embryonic or somatic stem cells
- found in a tissue or organ
- can be differentiated to yield the specialized cell types of that tissue or organ
- used to repair specific cells
induced pluripotent stem cells (what it’s used for)
adult stem cells that have been reprogrammed to be in an embryonic cell state
- used for drug discovery and disease modeling
- viruses are used to do the reprogramming
cell replication terminology
- chromatid
- chromosome
- gene
chromatid
half of a chromosome
chromosome
a full chromosome with two chromatids
mitosis cell cycle
- G1 - growth, preparation for DNA synthesis
- S - DNA replication
- G2 - growth, preparation for mitosis
- M - mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase)
- cytokinesis
what does mitosis produce?
- two identical diploid daughter cells
- somatic cells
meiosis cell cycle
- G1 - growth, preparation for DNA synthesis
- S - DNA replication
- G2 - growth, preparation for meiosis
- M - meiosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, x2)
- cytokinesis
what does meiosis produce?
- four haploid daughter cells
- gamete cells (1 egg 3 sperm)
What type of cells in the body undergoes mitosis?
somatic cells
What occurs during the interphase?
DNA replication
compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis
