Chapter 19 Pt. 2 Flashcards
What is mitosis?
one nucleus divides into tow daughter nuclei containing the same number and kinds of chromosomes
What is the cell cycle?
the entire sequence of events that a cell goes through, from its origin in the division of its parent cell through its own division into two daughter cells
how long does the cell cycle usually take?
16-24 hours
What is the interphase?
the period of the cell cycle between cell divisions
Interphase is a time of intense __________ for cell division
preparation
During interphase the ____ and _________ are duplicated
DNA
organelles
During _________ the DNA and organelles are _________
interphase
duplicated
During Interphase when the cell divides it creates ________ _____
daughter cells
What are the three parts of interphase?
G1 (“first gap”)
S (DNA Synthesis)
G2 (“second gap”)
During Interphase the genetic material is in the form of long, thin threads that rare often called ________
chromatin
During Interphase the two copies, each an exact replicate of the original chromosome, stay attached to one another at a region known as the __________
centromere
During Interphase, as long as the replicate copies remain attached, each copy is called a _________
chromatid
If two attached chromatids are genetically identical and are referred to as ______ _________
sister chromatids
What are the two conditions that must be made for healthy cells to divide?
(1) proteins monitor the environment within the cell to ensure that it’s appropriate for cell division
(2) the DNA has been accurately replicated
What is the only exception to the two condition for healthy cells to divide?
cancer cells
