Chapters 8 And 9 Flashcards
Why are new cells needed
Growth and cellular and sexual reproduction
Three steps to prokaryotic reproduction
Replication (DNA)
Elongation
Binary Fission (cell divides)
Chromosomes are made up of
Chromatin
What are chromatin
DNA wrapped protein bundles
Coiled and folded chromatin is considered
Condensed
Sections of DNA that are coded for one thing are called
Genes
How many pairs of chromosomes do human cells have
23
How many chromosomes do humans have
46
Chromosome pairs are called
Homologous pairs
After replication 2 chromatids link at
Centromere
XY chromosome makes what gamete
Sperm
XX chromosome makes which gamete
Egg cell
Cell cycle in Eukaryotes has three stages
Interphase
Mitosis
Cytokinesis
three phases of interphase
G1
S
G2
G1 phase of interphase is
First Gap
90% of time is spend in this phase
Cell grows
S phase of interphase is
Synthesis
Replication of DNA
G2 phase of interphase
Second gap
Mitochondria replicate
Microtubules made
Chromosomes start condensing
Division of genetic material is called
Mitosis
4 phases of mitosis
Prophase preparation
Metaphase middle
Anaphase apart
Telophase tidy
