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
