Q

what are the structure of chromosomes in mitosis?

A

made of 2 strands joined in middle by centromere
separate strands are chromatids
has 2 strands because each chromosome has an identical copy of itself during interphase

Q

what happens in metaphase?

A

Q

what happens in anaphase?

A

centromeres move apart separating each pair of sister chromatids

Q

what happens in cytokinesis?

A

cytoplasm divides and cleavage furrow forms to divide the cells, creating 2 identical daughter cells.
this process begins in anaphase and ends in telophase

Q

what happens in telophase?

A

Q

what is different about cytokinesis in plants compared to animals?

Q

how would you observe mitosis scientifically?

A

treat tips of roots in HCL and break them open then spread a few on a slide and view them under a microscope. because the roots are part of a plant that keeps on growing

Q

how many divisions happens in meiosis?

A

2- meiosis 1 and meiosis 2

24
Q

what happens in meiosis 1?

A

the chromosomes number halves

25
Q

what happens in meiosis 2?

A

daughter cells from meiosis 1 undergo prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase again and cytokinesis so now the 4 cells produced have a diploid no of chromosomes.

26
Q

when does crossing over occur?

A

prophase

27
Q

what is crossing over?

A

in meiosis 1 homologous pairs of chromosomes come together and pair up. the chromatids then twist around each other and alleles can be swapped from one chromatid to another, this means the daughter cells in meiosis 2 contained chromatids with different alleles

28
Q

what are stem cells?

A

unspecialised cells that can develop into different types of cells. all multicellular cells have these

29
Q

what is differentiation?

A

when stem cells divide to become new cells which are then specialised cells.

30
Q

what can stem cells also divide into?

A

can also divide in to undifferentiated stem cells (replicate)

31
Q

what are stem cells in animals for?

A

used to replace damaged cells for example red and white blood cells

32
Q

what are stem cells in plants for?

A

used to make new shoots and roots. stem cells can differentiate into various types of plant tissue.

33
Q

where are stem cells found in plants?

A

meristem, can become xylem or phloem cells

34
Q

what can stem cells be used to treat in medicine?

A

heart disease by making replacement heart cells
Alzheimer’s by regrowing healthy nerve cells as they die in this condition
Parkinson’s by regenerating dopamine neurons

35
Q

what are specialised cells?

A

when cells differentiate into cells with a specific function, with a structure adapted to this

36
Q

what are erythrocytes?

A

red blood cells

37
Q

what are neutrophils?

A

white blood cells

38
Q

how are erythrocytes specialised?

A

carry oxygen in the blood
bio concave shape
no nucleus so there is m ore room for haemoglobin

39
Q

how are neutrophils specialised?

A

defends body against disease
flexible shape to engulf pathogens
contains lysosomes in the cytoplasm to break down pathogens

40
Q

how are epithelial cells specialised?

A

cover surface of organs
cells joined by interlinking cell membranes

41
Q

what are some examples of epithelial cells?

A

ciliated epithelial cells- in trachea to move pathogens put of airway
microvilli- found in small intestine to increase SA
squamous epithelial cells- allows gas exchange

42
Q

how are sperm cells specialized?

A

acrosome- contains digestive enzyme in head to enable penetration
many mitochondria to provide energy to swim
flagella helps it swim to the egg cell

43
Q

what are palisade mesophyll cells?

A

where photosynthesis occurs in plants

44
Q

how are palisade mesophyll cells specialized?

A

lots of chloroplasts to absorb sunlight
thin walls so CO2 can diffuse into the cells

45
Q

what are root hair cells?

A

cells found in the root of plants that absorb water and mineral ions to give to the plant

46
Q

how are root hair cells specialized?

A

larger SA for efficient absorption
thin permeable cell wall to allow diffusion to occur quicker
cytoplasm contains extra mitochondria so active transport of ions can occur

47
Q

how are guard cells specialized?

A

In light, guard cells take up water and become turgid.
Thin outer walls and thick inner walls, force them to bend outwards, opening the stomata, allowing for gas exchange for photosynthesis.

48
Q

what is a tissue?

A

group of cells that are specialised to work together to carry out a certain function

49
Q

what is squamous epithelial tissue?

A

single layer of flat cells lining a surface found in alveoli in lungs providing a thin exchange surface for gas exchange

50
Q

what is cilliated epithelial tissue?

A

layer of cells covered in cilia
found on surfaces where things need to be moved eg; the trachea

51
Q

what is muscle tissue?

A

bundles of elongated cells called muscle fibres. 3 different types
smooth- lining of stomach
cardiac- found in heart
skeletal- used to move

52
Q

what is cartilage tissue?

A

connective tissue found in the joints. it shaped and supported ear,nose and windpipe. formed when chondroplasts secrete an extra cellular matrix which they become trapped inside

53
Q

what is xylem tissue?

A

transports water around the plant and supports it. made up of dead and living parenchyma cells

54
Q

what is phloem tissue?

A

transports sugar around plants. arranged in tubes made up of sieve tube elements, companion cells and ordinary cells. each sieve wall has holes in so sap can move

55
Q

what are organs?

A

group of different tissues that work toghter to perform a certain function.
for example lungs carry out gas exchange and contains squamous and celibates epithelial tissue

56
Q

what organ is found in plants?

A

leaf- carries out gas exchange and contains palisade tissue, epidermal tissue and xylem and phloem tissue

57
Q

what is an organ system?

A

when organs work together. for example the circulatory system contains heart, veins, arteries, capillaries ect
