Chapter 10 Flashcards
Cell division
The process by which a cell divides into two new daughter cells
2 steps Mitosis and Cytokinesis
Asexual reproduction
Reproduction with two identical cells as offspring
Can be done with mitosis
Sexual reproduction
The offspring of two separate parents
The kids are not identical to the parents
Chromosomes
Genetic information is bundled into packages of DNA known as chromosomes
What are the stages of mitosis
P- prophase
M- metaphase
A- anaphase
T- telophase
Stages of cell cycle
I- interphase
M- mitosis
C-cytokines
Anaphase is when the spindle is …
Pulling apart
Metaphase is when the chromosomes …
Are lined up in the middle
Interphase is when the cell is…
Growing and copying its DNA
Three stages G1, S, G2
Interphase has three steps what are they
G1 S G2
Prophase is when
Chromosomes are showing up and so are spindle
The nucleus is dissolving
Telophase is when …
The new nucleus form and the the cell starts to pinch off and the chromosomes are unwinding into chromatin
Centromere is
The place where the chromosome and sister chromatid attach
Cell plate and cleavage furrow
Animal (cleavage furrow) and plant(cell plate) parts that help pinch the cells off
P53
A gene that stops tumors from growing
If it is mutated it can cause cancer
