Lesson 2 : Cell Division and Cell Death Flashcards
What is Cell Division
Reproduction of 2 daughter cells from a single parent cell.
What are Somatic Cells
- Non-sex cells that have 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans.
- 2 copies of genome.
What is Mitosis
- Provides new cells by forming the cells form one.
- They occur in somatic cells (body cells)
- From of 2 daughter cells from a single parent.
Series of events or a sequence of activities as the cell prepares for cell division and then divide
Cell Cycle
What is Aptosis
- Form of cell death which is normal in growth and development.
- Precise genetically sequence of events like mitosis.
- Death due to natural causes like underwent cell division and becoming worn out. happens also due to old age of the cell.
G1 (Growth 1)
- Growth stage of interphase
- Cells grow to its full size
- Performs many biochemical functions that aid the organism.
- First gap or first stage.
- Little change is visible.
- Cells are quite active at the biochemical level.
- Accumulating building blocks of chromosomal DNA and associated proteins, energy reserves to complete the task of replicating each chromosome in the nucleus.
What is Interphase
- Phase where in division has not yet occurred.
- Undergo normal processes while preparing for cell division.
- A phase where many internal and external conditions must be met.
G0 (Gap 0)
- Quiet stage
- Cell divides if it continues to synthesis or undergo cell death or cell differentiation.
- Not included in stages of interphase
the apparatus that orchestrate the movement of chromosomes during mitosis
Centrosome
S (Synthesis)
- Important because it is where nucleus replicates.
- DNA Replication results in formation of 2 identical copies of each Chromosome which we call sister chromatids.
these are firmly attached at the centromere region
Sister chromatids
Prometaphase
- Chromosomes continue to condense.
- Kinetochores appear at the centromeres.
- Mitotic spindle microtubules attached in kinetochores.
- Centrosomes move toward opposite poles.
Two centrosome will give rise to ____________
mitotic spindle
consist of rod-like centrioles at right angles to each other
Centrosome
Metaphase
- Aligning of chromosomes
- Lining up at the metaphase plate.
- Each sister chromatid attaches to the spindle fibers originating from opposite poles.
- Mitotic spindle is fully developed, centrosome poles move at opposite ends/poles ng cells
- Chromosomes are lined up at the metaphase plate
Prophase
- First stage of mitosis
- Nucleolus disappears
- Where chromatin will condense into chromosomes
- Centrioles will move to opposite ends.
- Nuclear membrane breakdown happens in Prometaphase.
- Spindle fibers emerge from the centrosomes.
G2 (Growth 2)
- Completed mitosis/ growth stage is completed.
- The cell replenishes its energy stores and synthesizes proteins necessary for chromosome manipulation.
- Some cell organelles are duplicated and cytoskeleton are dismantled to provide resources to mitotic spindle fibers.
- Final preparations before undergoing cell division.
Stages of Mitosis
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
help in cell division, but are not present in centrosomes of eukaryotic organisms such as plants and most fungi, but found in animals and humans
Centrioles
