1
Q

What is Synthesis in chemistry?

A

Synthesis is a reaction where two or more elements/compounds combine to form a single compound.

Example: A + B → AB

Q

What is Single Displacement?

A

Single Displacement involves an element and a compound as reactants, where one element displaces another from a compound.

Example: A + BC → B + AC or D + AB → B + AD

87
Q

90
Q

What are the two main stages of the cell cycle?

A

The two main stages of the cell cycle are Interphase and Mitosis.

91
Q

What percentage of the cell cycle does Interphase occupy?

A

Interphase occupies 90% of the cell cycle.

92
Q

What is another name for Interphase?

A

Interphase is also known as the ‘Resting Phase’.

93
Q

What are the three phases of Interphase?

A

The three phases of Interphase are G1 Phase, S Phase, and G2 Phase.

94
Q

What occurs during the G1 Phase?

A

During the G1 Phase, the cell undergoes growth.

95
Q

What happens during the S Phase?

A

During the S Phase, DNA replication occurs.

96
Q

What is the purpose of the G2 Phase?

A

The G2 Phase involves cell growth and preparation for mitosis.

97
Q

When are chromosomes duplicated?

A

Chromosomes are duplicated only during the S Phase.

98
Q

What is the state of DNA in a nondividing cell?

A

In a nondividing cell, DNA and proteins are spread throughout the cell as chromatin.

99
Q

What happens to chromatin in a dividing cell?

A

In a dividing cell, chromatin coils up and condenses into visible, short, thick chromosomes.

100
Q

What are the purposes of cell division?

A

Cell division replaces dead/damaged cells, supports growth, and enables reproduction.

101
Q

What is mitosis?

A

Mitosis is the division of the nucleus into two genetically identical nuclei.

102
Q

What do daughter cells contain after mitosis?

A

Daughter cells contain an equal number of chromosomes as their parent cells.

103
Q

What are the four stages of mitosis?

A

The four stages of mitosis are Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.

104
Q

What occurs during Prophase?

A

During Prophase, chromatin coils up to form chromosomes, the nucleolus and nuclear membrane disappear, centrioles separate and move to opposite ends, and spindle fibres begin to form.

105
Q

What do spindle fibres attach to during Prophase?

A

Spindle fibres attach to one side of each centromere.

106
Q

What happens during Metaphase?

A

Double stranded chromosomes line up along the MIDDLE of the cell.

107
Q

What occurs during Anaphase?

A

Spindle fibres begin to shorten and contract, centromeres are separated, and each chromosome splits into TWO sister chromatids. The two sister chromatids move to opposite ends (poles) of the cell.

If this is successful, each daughter cell will have a complete set of genetic information.

108
Q

What are the key events of Telophase?

A

Spindle fibres disappear, nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes, nucleolus appears within each nucleus, and single-stranded chromosomes start to uncoil into thin strands of chromatin.

109
Q

What is Cytokinesis?

A

The division of the cytoplasm, where the cytoplasm splits into TWO new cells, one around each new daughter cell.

In ANIMAL CELLS: Cleavage Furrow forms. In PLANT CELLS: Cell Plate forms.

110
Q

What characterizes cancer?

A

Cancer is characterized by abnormal cell division, where cancer cells divide out of control and can pile up on each other.

111
Q

Tumor

A

abnormal lump of cells

112
Q

Benign tumor

A

tumor that remains in one place in the body (non-cancerous)

113
Q
