Life Cycle Flashcards
Cell cycle
The life of a cell; long period of growth & work, shirt period of dividing into 3 copies that each star their own cycle
Cell division
Cells copying DNA & splitting turning into daughter cells (new cells after division)
Why do cells spilt
Cell gets to big and doesn’t have enough DNA to make proteins & cell Membrane overload
Blank are typically not bigger than blank but much grader # of cells in adults
Adult&baby cells (human)
Surface area
L×W×B
Volume
L×W×H
Cells divide to
•Grow & develop- all organisms start out as a single cell-need to specialize
•Repair/replace-millions of cells die every second of everyday
•reproduce- make identical offspring
Main phase of Eukaryotic cell cycle (has subphases)
•interphase- long phase for growth, normal functions & preparations to divide including copying DNA
G1
Growth, develop, & specializ
S
Replicate DNA
G2
Final growth & preparation for division
M phase
Cell division
• 1 cell dividing into 2 generically identical daughter cells
• quick phase because cell functions step for division
