Chapter 3 Book Flashcards
Mitosis
Cell division that produces daughter cells
Daughter Cells
2 cell identical to parent cell
diploid number
homologous pair of choromsomes are in it
haploid #
n 1/2 of diploid #
Gametes
reproductive cell (germ line cell)
Meiosis
division reduces # of chromosomes
sex chromosomes
chromosomes that determine sex
chromosome theory of heredity
theory that chromosomes carry genes
Cell cycle
life cycle of cells
list in order the cell cycle
In interphase Gap 1, synthesis, Gap 2 and then mitosis Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
Mitosis phase
Short segment of cell cycle where cells divide
interphase
longer period of cell cycle
What happens during G1
gene expression and cell activity
What happens in S phase
DNA Replication
What happens in G0 phase
gene expression but don’t go through cell cycle and most cells die
What happens during G2
Prep for cell division
Cell lineages
identical cells descended from founder cell
What are the 2 functions of cell division?
- equally divide chromosomal material
- partitioning of the cytoplasmic contents of parent cell into daughter cell
karyokinesis
part of telophase where nuclear division occurs
cytokensis
part of telophase where cytoplasmic division occurs
Sister chromatids
identical DNA that are temporarily joined together
Prophase in mitosis
Chromosomes condense, nuclear envelope breaksdown, and chromosome centromeres and sister chromatids become visible
Centromere
specialized DNA sequence on each chromosome
Kinetochore
specialized protein complex that helps with chromosome movement.
