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
What are the two gap phases
G1: first gap phase; occurs before S phase
G2: second gap; occurs between S phase and mitosis
Cell division steps in order
G1 , S phase , G2 , Mitosis
Which lasts longer, interphase or m phase
interphase
What happens in prophase
- Chromosomes condense and become visible in the light microscope.
- spindle apparatus begins to form
What happens in prometaphase
-start to see a breakdown of the nuclear envelope
What happens in metaphase
- formation of the mitotic spindle is complete
- chromosomes line up in the middle on metaphase plate
What happens in anaphase
- centromeres split
- sister chromatids are pulled by the spindle fibers toward opposite poles. Now that they’ve split they are individual unreplicated chromosomes.
- as soon as they are no longer attached at the centromere, sister chromatids become daughter chromosomes
What happens in telophase
new nuclear envelope begins to form around each set of chromosomes
- the mitotic spindle disintegrates
- the chromosomes begin to decondense
- mitosis is over when two independent nuclei have formed
Cytokinesis occurs immediately after mitosis. What happens here
• The cytoplasm divides to form daughter cells
Each daughter cell has its own nucleus and complete set of organelles
how many chromatids and chromosomes does a human cell have during metaphase of mitosis
92 chromatids
46 chromosomes
How do kinetochore microtubules shorten to pull daughter chromosomes apart during anaphase
The kinetochore microtubules shorten at the kinetochore to pull daughter chromosomes apart during anaphase
SO microtubules break down at kinetochore and are pulling daughter chromosomes to sides of cell
At cytokinesis, what type of organism has a cell plate
plants
At cytokinesis, what type of organism has a cleavage furrow
animals, fungi and slime molds
