asexual reproduction
reproduction without sex ; parent cells divides only once to produce 2 genetically identical daughter daughter cells or offspring
How do prokaryotic cells reproduce
bacteria and arches reproduce asexually binary fission
binary fission
dividing in half
two daughter cells in prokaryotic cells
are genetically identical to each other and to the parent cell; each with 1 chromosome
all cells in our body except egg and sperm cells are called
somatic cells(body)
how are somatic cells produced
asexually by mitosis
what does mitosis allow us to do
allows us to grow and to replace damaged or worn out somatic cells
what are egg and sperm cells called
gametes or germ cells produced by meiosis
how are eukaryotic cells reproduced
by completing the cell cycle
mitotic phase consists of
cytokinesis, mitosis
G1 (first gap)
cells grow but doesnt divide
go=resting phase
S (DNA synthesis phase)
cell duplicates its dan and chromosomes; duplication of centrosomes begins
mitosis
nucleus divides
(PPMAT)
- prophase
- prometaphase
- metaphase
- anaphase
- telophase
cytokinesis
cytoplasm divides
during mitosis how many many chromosomes of parent cells are their
46 chromosomes of parent skin cells
2 daughter cells; each with 46 chromosomes
what doesnt change in mitosis
in mitosis the number of chromosomes doesnt change between the parent and each daughter cell
what do cells look like in late interphase(G20
2 centrosomes- regions where microtubules grow out from each centrosome contains-2centrioles made of microtubules
nuclear envelope is intact
chromosomes are loosely packed(decondensed)
each chromosome consists of 2 identical sister chromatids that are held together by centromere
what happenes to cells during prophase
first phase of mitosis
nuclear envelope is still present; 4 chromosomes, 8 chromatids
chromosomes are tightly packed(condensed)
two centrosomes are still present
mitotic spindle begins to form
what happens during prometaphase
second phase of mitosis
centrosomes moved to opposite poles of the cell
chromosomes are tightly packed
NUCLEAR ENVELOPE BREAKS APART
some spindle microtubules bind to kinetochores(proteins) of all chromatids
what happens during metaphase
third phase of mitosis
two centrosomes are still present
mitotic spindle brings all chromosomes to the middle of the cell
chromosomes align on the metaphase plate
kinetochores of sister chromatids are facing the opposite poles of the spindle
metaphase plate
imaginary line in the middle of the cell
meiosis
when parent cells go through 2 rounds of cell division to produce 4 daughter cells, which are genetically different from each other
1st set of chromosomes
haploid gametes”germ” cells
n=23
number of chromosomes found in ovaries and testies
2n=46 chromosomes
n=23 egg cells
n=23 sperm cells
