16
Q

What is the limits to the size that cells can reach.

A

It’s related to the control of cell division.

When the cell divide into two smaller cells, the ratio of surface area to volume for each cell increases.

17
Q

What happens through cell division and development?

A

cells become specialized to perform particular functions.

18
Q

The body repairs injuries by means of

A

cell division

19
Q

The human body is made up of about how many different types of cells

A

200

20
Q

What is a cycle?

A

A cycle is an activity or set of event that regularly repeats.

21
Q

The cell cycle includes what?

A

interphase and cell division.

22
Q

Life cycle

A

The process in which All living things live, grow, reproduce and die

23
Q

cell cycle

A

the normal sequence of development and division of a cell.

24
Q

What are The cell cycle two main phases

A

1- interphase- in which the cell carries out its functions,

2- the cell divides, which can include mitosis and cytokinesis.

25
Q

eukaryotes undergo what?

A

mitosis

26
Q

Interphase

A

The part of the cell cycle during which a cell is not dividing.

27
Q

What activities takes place During interphase,

A

the cell grows to about twice the size

The cell transports materials in and transporting wastes out.

Also, cellular respiration occurs, which provides the energy the cell needs.

28
Q

Before a cell can divide what must occur

A

The cell must duplicates its DNA exactly to ensures that, after cell division, each new cell gets a complete set of DNA.

29
Q

Mitosis

A

is the part of the cell cycle during which the nucleus divides.

30
Q

Why don’t Prokaryotes do not undergo mitosis

A

because they have no nucleus.

31
Q

What Is The function of mitosis

A

to move the DNA and other material in the parent cell into position for cell division.

32
Q

Cytokinesis

A

the division of the parent cell’s cytoplasm, and occurs immediately after mitosis.

33
Q

Daughter cell

A

A result of mitosis and cytokinesis, the original cell splits into two genetically identical daughter

Each daughter cell receives a complete set of DNA from the parent cell.

34
Q

What do new cells do?

A

New cells help your body grow, develop, repair itself and replace worn-out parts.

35
Q

Mitosis has how many phases

A

4

36
Q

Phase 1. Chromosomes form.

A

the DNA in the nucleus of a cell condenses and becomes visible under a light microscope. Each chromosome consists of two identical chromatids held together by a centromere. The membrane around the nucleus disappears.

37
Q

Phase 2 metaphase

A

The chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.

38
Q

Phase 3- anaphase

A

Chromosomes separate. the chromatids split, resulting in two separate identical chromosomes. These chromosomes are pulled to opposite sides of the cell.

39
Q

Phase 4 telophase

A

A new nuclear membrane forms around each group of chromosomes. The chromosomes return to their threadlike form.
the parent cell’s cytoplasm is divided to complete the parent cell’s division into two entirely separate daughter cells.

40
Q

What is Cytokinesis

A

the division of the parent cell’s cytoplasm, Cytokinesis differs slightly in animal cells and plant cells.

41
Q

What happens during cytokinesis in an animal cell?

A

the cell wall prevents the cell membrane from being pulled inward. A structure called a cell plate grows between the two nuclei. The cell plate develops into a membrane an eventually becomes part of the new cells. Forming 2 completely separate daughter cells
