Chapter 4 Flashcards
Growth and Division of a Cell
this is the life cycle of individual cells
cell cycle
parent cells divide and produce what?
daughter cells
a process of producing new cells from the pre-existing cells
cell division
as parts of a plant reach their final form, most cells stop dividing, a process called?
cell cycle arrest
the cell cycle can be divided into two phases, namely:
growth phase and division phase
the part of the cycle without division is called?
interphase
in general, this phase is the longest part of the cell cycle
G1 (Gap 1)
during this phase, nucleotides are synthesized to be used for DNA replication
G1
during this phase, the cell is recovering from division; conducts most of its normal metabolism
G1
this phase is where the genes in the nucleus are replicated
S (Synthesis phase)
during this phase, thousands of genes are attached in a linear sequence forming a chromosome
S
this complexes with DNA and give it both protection and structure
histones
a chromosome has a centromere and is capped by what on each end?
telomere
some enter synthesis phase and replicate one or more times before differentiating, which is called?
endoreduplication
a process where only some genes are replicated, usually those needed for the specialized metabolism of the cell
gene amplification
during this phase, cells prepare for division
G2
during this phase, the alpha and beta tubulins necessary for spindle microtubules are synthesized
G2
during this phase, the cell produces proteins for processing
chromosomes and breaking down the nuclear envelope
G2
G1, S, and G2 constitues?
interphase
a term to describe the process of nuclear division
karyokinesis
what are the two types of cell division
mitosis and meiosis
meiosis: duplication division
mitosis: reduction division
a term to describe the process of cytoplasmic division
cytokinesis
under mitotic division, the number of phases sister chromatids are separated into daughter cells are? namely:
four phases; (PMAT) prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
during this division phase, the chromosome condense by coiling
prophase
during this division phase, the nucleolus becomes invisible, and the nuclear envelope breaks into vesicles
prophase
this is a protein layer on each chromatid
kinetochore
what pushes and pulls the chromosomes toward the cell center during metaphase?
microtubules
at the end of this phase in mitotic division, an enzyme breaks down the connection between sister chromatids
metaphase
when microtubules push and pull the chromosomes toward the cell center, what do they form?
metaphase plate
in this phase in mitotic division, spindle microtubules shorten and pull the twin chromatids toward opposite poles
of the cell
anaphase
this phase is mostly a reversal of prophase
telophase
as the chromatids reach each pole of the cell, complete nuclear envelopes form and surround each group of chromatids, what phase of mitotic division is this?
telophase
