Exam 4 part 1 Flashcards
Where do cells come from
Preexisting cells
two types of cell division
Meiosis and mitosis
Meiosis produces
gametes (eggs and sperm)
Mitosis produces
somatic cells
Somatic cells
all other cells in the human body that arent reproductive cells
Mitosis and meiosis are both accompanied by
cytokinesis
cytokinesis
the division of the cytoplasm
How many daughter cells does meiosis form? identical or not?
4 daughter cells that have half the amount of material as the parent making them non identical
How many daughter cells does mitosis form? identical or not?
2 daughter cells because the genetic material is copied and divided between the two making them identical
What are the three key events that mitosis and cytokinesis are responsible for in multicellular eukaryotes
• Growth
• Wound repair
Asexual reproduction
How many types of chromosomes are in the human genome
23…but we are diploid (2n, 2 copies of each) so 46
Do all species have this same number of chromosomes
every species has a different amount of chromosomes
What happens in the M phase of the cell cycle
Mitotic phase; cell divides here
Does division happen in Interphase
no
When in replication occurring
The S phase (synthesis phase) which is part of interphase
