Chapter 8 (2) Flashcards
Growth
Our bodies grow bigger because of cellular reproduction. Growth plates in bones
Repair
Replacing damage cells. Skin cells are always reproduce them to replace dead cells on the surface.
Cellular reproduction
When you get cut, bruised break a bone, cells reproduce to fix the damage
Daughter cells
1 patent cell produces 2 daughter cells
Both daughter cells are identical to each other and to the parent cell. Both daughter cells have the same genetic information and they have a complete set of genetic material.
Identical sets of chromosomes
Asexual reproduction
Found with single celled organisms like amoeba
It does not involve fertilization of an egg by a sperm, all the offsprings have identical jeans.
Mitosis is asexual Production of cells
Cell cycle & mitosis
The number of chromosomes does not determine the level of development
Koala = 16 chromosomes Humans = 46 chromosomes Dog= 78 chromosomes
Mitosis occurs in all the cells of the human body except in the reproductive organ’s
Chromatin
DNA wrapped around proteins/coiled around proteins
Histones
The proteins the DNA are coiled around
Chromosomes are
Tightly packed chromatin. Visible under a light microscope
Duplication of chromosomes prior to cell division produces
Sister chromatids
Sister chromatids
Two copies of chromosomes joined at the waist
Centromere
The way swear sister chromatids are joined
The phases of mitosis
Interphase, spent most of the time in the S phase.
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase in Cytokinesis
Interphase
Spends most of the time in interphase, doubles all the contents of the cell, three phases in interphase = G1, S & G to
S phase = synthesis of dna, DNA is replicated, parent has a daughter cell
G2 = oh, zones are in the form of sister chromatids
From interphase to prophase
Some cells are stuck in interphase in never divide
Nerve and muscle cells
