m1 + 2 lab - cells, life cycles and proliferation Flashcards
what are the two cell differentiation types?
mitosis and meiosis
what is mitosis?
cell division
what is the purpose of mitosis?
replacement, repair, and growth
what are the cell types in mitosis?
somatic cells (“soma” means body)
ex.) epithelium tissue
- muscle tissue
- connective tissue
- nerve tissue
what tissues are amitotic?
- nerve cells
- cardiac muscle
- skeletal muscle
what is the purpose of meiosis?
procreation
- genetic variation
what cells are used in meiosis?
gametes/ sex cells
what are outcomes that can happen if a cell does not go through the normal cell life cycle?
- cell dies
- cell turns cancerous
what is the process of meiosis?
Meiotic Division 1
- begins with replicated DNA (4n)
- cell division occurs (each become 2n)
Meiotic Division 2
- each cell of 2n divides through a second cell division, producing 4 haploids (n or 23 chromosomes each)
what is synapsis?
alignment of the homologous pairs at the cell equator – forming “tetrads”
in Prophase M1, maternal finds paternal
what is a crossover (genetic recombination)?
one chromatid segment of a homologous chromosome exchanges positions with another chromatid (crossing over, forms chiasma)
chromatids break off, those ends join their corresponding (new) chromosomes
what is spermatogenesis?
the process through which sperm cell production occurs
where does spermatogenesis occur?
seminiferous tubules
what is the name of the stem cell used in spermatogenesis?
spermatogonia
pathway of spermatogenesis?
spermatids from spermatogonia mature in the Epididymis then spermiation occurs —> shedding of everything unnecessary
- begins at puberty
- ends at death
what are the hormones used in spermatogenesis?
FSH and testosterone
where does oogenesis occur?
ovary
what is the name of the stem cell used in oogenesis?
oogonia
pathway of oogenesis?
- begins at 8th month of gestation
- stops at Prophase of M1
- starts again at puberty w/ only a few at a time due to FSH and LH
- matures with the follicles
process is not complete until it is fertilized
what happens in Metaphase M2 of oogenesis during puberty?
the oocyte is ovulated
