Chapter 9 Cell Cycle Flashcards
genome
genetic material of organism; complete compliment of genes
chromatid
one copy of newly copied chromosome joined together copy by centromere
sister chromatid
both identical copies (chromatid) made by replication of single chromosome
diploid
two sets of chromosomes
haploid
one set of chromosomes
cell cycle
events in cell that take place as it grows/divides
metaphase plate
imaginary structure in plate between poles of cell in metaphase
gametes
sex cells
somatic cells
body cells (any cells that aren’t germ line)
kinetochores
protein that forms on chromatid, allows spindle fibers to attach on chromosome
aster
star shaped structure formed around each centrosome during mitosis in animal cell. Microtubules radiate around it
Mitosis occurs in what type of cells?
somatic cells
How does mitosis impact chromosome number of daughter cells compared to parent?
daughter cells are genetic copies with same number of chromosomes
what are the two phases of the cell cycle
- mitotic phase: mitosis and cytokinesis (shortest)
2. interphase: cell spends 90% of life in this phase, cells copies DNA and prepares for mitosis
What are the sub phases of interphase
Gap 1
Synthesis
Gap 2`
G1
first of four phases in cell cycle, cell synthesized mRNA and proteins to prepare for mitosis
