Mitosis Flashcards
Budding is what and what?
It’s Asexual and occurs in hydra
Why do cells divide?
Surface area to volume puts too much demand on the DNA
Large cells are less efficient in moving waste and nutrients around
Fission is what and what?
Asexual and occurs in bacteria
Mitosis is what and what?
Asexual and occurs in many types of cells including humans
What are the two stages of The Cell Cycle?
Interphase and M-phase
What is the longest part of the cell cycle?
The Interphase
The M-phase includes
Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Cytokinesis
What happens in the G1 phase?
Intense growth phase
Increases in size
Production of organelles and proteins
What happens in the S-phase?
DNA is replicated
The cell begins to prepare for division
What happens in the G2 phase?
Prepare organelles and molecules for cell division(Mitosis)
What occurs in Mitosis?
The division of the Nucleus
What occurs in the PROphase?
DNA condenses
Duplicated chromosomes become visible as two sister Chromatids
Mitotic spindle begins to form
Nucleolus begins to disappear
Centrioles begin to move away from each other
What happens in the METaphase?
Centrioles at opposite poles
Chromosomes line up on metaphase plate
