M7 Flashcards
What are 2 reasons that cells repoduce
1)Repair/Renew cells/tissues(Mitosis)
2)Create New Individuals(Meiosis)
In What phase does DNA get replicated
Interphase
What is the Cell Cycle
Sequence of events in which a single parent cell divides to produce 2 new daughter cells which then continue the cycle
What is a Genome
A organisms complete set of DNA
What does the DNA of a prokaryotic organism look like
Single Double Stranded DNA in a circle
What does the DNA in a eukaryotic organism look like
Several double-stranded DNA in chromosomes/chromatin
What is the center of a chromosome called?
Centromere
What is the leg of a Chromosome called
Chromatid
Haploid (n/gamete)
one half of chromosome pair
Diploid (2n)
full set of chromosomes
Homologous pairs
Same length, same gene placement in chromosomes
How do you count the number of chromosomes
The number of centromeres
What is a Loci
The location of a gene on a chromosome
Are sex chromosomes a homologous pair
No
What is Phase 1 of mitosis
Interphase
What happens in Interphase
cell growth, replication
What is phase 2 of mitosis
Mitotic Phase
What happens is the mitotic phase
Actual Separation of cells
What are the three phases in interphase for mitosis
G phase = growth, S phase = DNA replicated, G2 phase = final prep
What is the first phase of the mitotic cycle
Prophase
What happens in Prophase
Chromatin turns into chromosomes, Organelles break up/disperse to edges
What is the second stage in the mitotic cycle
Prometaphase
What happens in prometaphase
Nuclear envelope dissolves, Chromosomes attach to kinetochore at centrosomeres
What is the third phase in the mitotic cycle
Metaphase
