Chapter 9+10- Mitosis Amd Flashcards
Cell cycle
Life a cell from when is just newly divide to until it divides it self
Cell Divisiom
When a cell splits and goes throught mitosis two cells and reproduce
Genome
A cells DNA, or genetic information
Chromatin
Entire complex of DNA and proteins that is the building material of chromosomes
Somatic cells
Contain the normal amount of chromosomes
Gametes
Have 23 chromosomes and are sperm or egg
Sister chromosomes
Joined copies of original chromosome
Centromere
A region containing specific DNA where a chromatid is most closely attached to the sister chromatid
Mitosis
The division of the genetic material in the nuclear
Cytokinesis
The split up of the cytoplasm
Mitosis (M) Phase
Phase that includes both mitosis and cytokinesis, shortest part
Interphase
Accounts for 90% of the time in cell cycle can be divided in three sub phases
G1 phases
Continues to grow as its copies it chromosome
S Phase
Grows completely as it completes preparation for cell division
G2
Divides
Aster
A radial array of short microtubles that extend from each centrosome
Centrosome
A region that contains the functions that controls the microtubules
