Exam (Ch11) Flashcards
Binary Fission
Prokaryotic cell division; replicate & pinch; one point of orgin
Mitotic Division
Eukaryotic cells; mitosis & cytokinesis; evolved from binary fission
Cell Cycle
G0, G1, S, G2 (G1-G2 is also known as interphase), M phase (also known as mitosis & cytokinesis)
Chromosomes
46 (aka 23 pairs
Homologous Chromosomes
Same set of genes
Haploid
Cell with one set of chromosomes
Diploid
Cell with two sets of chromosomes
Mitosis Phases
Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
Prophase
Chromosomes condense & become visible; two centrosomes at opposite poles
Prometaphase
chromosomes attach to mitotic spindle; nuclear envelope breaks down; microtubules attach to the chromosome at their centromere
Metaphase
Chromosomes align as a result of dynamic changes in the mitotic spindle
Anaphase
Sister chromatids separate fully
Telophase
nuclear envelopes reform around newly segregated chromosomes
Cytokinesis
parent cell divides into two daughter cells; stage begins with ring of actin filaments (contractile ring)
Meiotic Cell Division
Produces 4 daughter cells; each daughter cell contains 1/2 number of chromosomes of parent; each daughter cell is genetically unique; 2 cell divisions
