Lab practical 3 (pt1): mitosis powerpoint Flashcards
The continuity of life is based on the reproduction of cells, or ___
cell division
Mitosis cell division results in ___ with identical genetic information, DNA
Mitosis takes place in ___ cells (any cell in the body with the exception of reproductive cells)
daughter cells
SOMATIC
Cell division is an integral part of the cell cycle, the life of a cell from formation to its own division
The mitotic phase (___) is just a small fraction of the cell cycle.
cell division
The cell cycle consists of
___ (M) phase (mitosis and cytokinesis)
___ (cell growth and copying of chromosomes in preparation for cell division)
(The majority of the cell cycle is interphase)
Mitotic
Interphase
Interphase (about 90% of the cell cycle) can
be divided into subphases
___ phase (“first gap”)
___ phase (“synthesis”-where DNA is duplicated)
Each duplicated chromosome has two sister chromatids (joined copies of the original chromosome)
The centromere is the narrow “waist” of the duplicated chromosome, where the two chromatids are most closely attached
___ phase (“second gap”)
G1
S
G2
During cell division (mitosis and cytokinesis), the two sister chromatids of each duplicated chromosome separate and move into two nuclei
Once separate, the chromatids are called ___
chromosomes
