lab exam 2 Flashcards
Mitotic phase
Chromosomes separate and cell divides
Interphase
Prepares for cell division and DNA is replicated
How long does cell division take
Mitosis only about 30 minutes
On average the cell cycle takes about 24 hours most of time spent in g1 where the cell grows in size, about 12 hours
What happens during Interpahse
The cell grows
Makes mew cellular components
DNA is replicated
Check points will stop cell division of there is a problem, if They don’t work properly the cell will divide when it should not.
What are the four phases in Mitosis
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Mitosis prophase
Chromosomes condense
Nuclear membrane breaks down
Tow centrioles (one centrosome) begin to move to opposite ends of cell
Microtubules form
Metaphase (mitosis)
Microtubules attach to the chromosomes
The microtubules line up at the center of the cell (the equator)
Anaphase (mitosis)
Sister chromatid are pulled apart by the microtubules
Chromatids move toward the poles. Now chromatids are called chromosomes
Telophase (mitosis)
The chromosomes begin to uncondense
Nuclear membrane forms
Cell begins to divide in half
Cytokinesis
The cell divides completely forming two separate cells
Where does mitosis occur
In all body cells except for ones responsible for reproduction
Gametes
Are the cells responsible for reproduction
Somatic cells
All body cells except those responsible for reproduction
Sperm and eggs are
Gametes
What do gametes undergo?
Meiosis
Diploid
Cells that have 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs, all somatic cells are diploid
Haploid
Cells that have 23 chromosomes, gametes are haploid
Meiosis
When a diploid cell divides to produce haploid reproductive cells
Crossing over
Duplicated chromosomes condense and intertwine this produces genetic variation = crossing over
Genetic material is exchanged between the homologous chromosomes
Prophase 1
Duplicated chromosomes condense and crossover this produces genetic variation
Nuclear membrane begins to break down
Two centrioles one centrosome begins to move to opposite ends of the cell
Microtubules form
