exam 3 Flashcards
unicellular organisms reproduce by
dividing
zygote
fertilized egg
mitosis
cell division that caries out same gene sequence of bases ( A,T,G,C)
gene is code to build a…
polypeptide (protien)
cell cycle phases
M phase (mitosis and cytokinesis)
Interphase
-G1 (growth)
-S (growth and DNA replication)
-G2 (growth and final preparation for cell division)
epithelial cells (skin)
constantly replace and divide
liver cells replucate only when
damage occurs
cells that cannot divide in adult humans are ___ and ___
muscle cells and nerve cells
decision for a cell to divide is made in what phase
G1 phase
what phase is non dividing stage
G0
metastasis
mutated cells enter ectracellular fluid and start growth at a new site in body (cancer)
somatic cells
all cells of an organism besides sex cells
they have 46 chromosomes
reproductive cells
sperm and egg
have 23 chromosomes
chromatin
“opened up” version of a chromosome, accessible for copying or making protien
a pair of similar chromosomes are called
homologous
homologous chromosomes have ___ traits
different variations of same trait
ex. blue eye vs brown
meiosis produces
gametes
haploid (n)
23 chromosomes
gametes
diploid (2n)
zygote and all other cells
46 chromosomes
sister chromatids
an original chromosome and a copy
they are identical
cytokinesis
at the end of mitosis the cell splits in 2 (identical)
early prophase (mitosis)
nuclear envelope (membrane) breaks down and chromatin condense to become chromosomes
centrioles
microtubule organizing centers present in early prophase form miotic spindle (for DNA)
prophase
mitotic spindle continues forming 2 sister chromatids joined by a centromere are pulled apart and mitotic spindle completes formation
centromere
joins sister chromatids together
microtubules of spindle attach to pull sister chromatids apart move to opposite poles
metaphase
centrioles arrive at opposite poles chromatid pairs line up at metaphase plate (middle of cell)
basically looks like dna now 💀
anaphase
sister chromatids split and migrate to oppsite poles
telephase
cell elongates and nuclear envelope forms around daighter chromosomes
chromosomes decondense into chromatin state
mitosis is complete
cytokinesis
after telephase cell is pinched in 2
animal cytokinesis
divides the cell using cleavage
actin and myosin create fibers that form a belt around cell
plant cytokinesis
forms a cell wall called cell plate
fission
prokaryotic reproduction (bacteria)
creates identical copies
gene
a sequence of DNA nucleotides that code how to build polypeptides
gene expression
dna in a gene is being used to make protien
interphase 1
each chromosome replicates to be 2 joined sister chromatids
prophase 1
chromosomes condense and attach to nuclear envelope, non sister strands may cross (crossing over)
crossing over
during prophase (synapsis) non sister stands cross during pairing, it increases genetic variety
synapsis
during prophase 1 homologous chromosomes pair up
metaphase 1
chromosomes line up at metaphase plate and independent assortment occurs (increase genetic variation)
anaphase 1
chromatids migrate to poled but STAY JOINED AT CENTROMERE
telephase 1
cell splits in 2 no replication of DNA occurs before daughter cells divide again
prophase 2
spindle apparatus forms, chomosomes move to metaphase plate
metaphase 2
chromosomes line up at metaphase plate and attack to microtubules on opposite poles
