Mitosis and asexual reproduction Flashcards
Mitosis
Division of the cell nucleus first stage in cell division
Cell division
process by which a cell divides into 2 new daughter cells
Cytokinesis
Division of the cytoplasm second stage of cell division
Interphase
In between cell division a period of growth
Cell cycle
Series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide
Praise
First and longest phase of mitosis chromosomes become visible and double centrioles move away from each other
Metaphase
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
Anaphase
Sister chromatids move away from each other
Telophase
Chromosomes lose shape cell membrane pinches in the middle of the cell
Chromosomes
Visible genetic material paired chromatids
Sister chromatids
2 identical connected strands of a chromosomes
Chromatin
Thin unorganized genetic material
Cancer
Uncontrollable cell growth does not respond to normal growth regulation signals
Asexual reproduction
Process by which a single parent reproduces itself
DNA replication
Process by which DNA copies itself
Budding
Process of asexual reproduction where the parent cell divides itself disproportion
Binary fission
Process of asexual reproduction where the parent cell divides itself equally
Regeneration
Process of cell division where an organism regrows an entire body part
