Chapter 10 Flashcards
Cell Cycle
- G1
- S-phase
- G2
- Prophase
- Metaphase
- Anaphase
- Telophase
G1
Cell Growth- increase size, nutrients. Prep for S-phase
S-phase
DNA is replicated, sister chromatids made and stuck together at the centromere
G2
Check for mistakes, cell growth- organelles replicated, prep for M-phase
Prophase
- chromosomes condense
- nuclear envelope dissolves
- spindle apparatus appears at poles, connecting to centromeres
Metaphase
apparatus lines chromosomes up in the middle of the cell
Anaphase
apparatus pulls the sister chromatids apart
Telophase
2 nuclear envelopes form around chromosomes, and they start to decondense
G0
Cell is not actively in the cell cycle
End product of Mitosis
2 genetically identical cells to the parent cell
Sister Chromatids
2 copies of DNA stuck together at the centromere
Homologous chromosomes
2 chromosomes with the same genes, but could have different alleles
Diploid
cells containing 2 copies of all unique chromosomes (all somatic cells)
Haploid
cells containing 1 copy of all unique chromosomes (gametes only)
Gametes
sex cells, haploid- egg and sperm
