Mitosis and Meiosis Flashcards
what is DNA made up of
nucleic acids (monomer)
do prokaryotes have a nucleus
no
what type of DNA does prokaryotes have
single looped
does eukaryotes have a nucleus
yes
what type of DNA does eukaryotes have
non looped chromosomes
what bonds in the middle of DNA
hydrogen
what type of Structure does a DNA have
helix Structure with 2 strands
how many chromosomes do we have
23 from mom
23 from dad
46 total
what is a chromatid
1 stick of chromosomes
what does mitosis do
makes a copy of the chromosome and makes sister chromatids
what is a homologous chromosomes
mom and dad pair of the same chromosomes
what is the centromere
holds sister chromatids before getting torn apart through mitosis
what is a sister chromosome
2 identical chromatids linked at centromere
different species can have
different number of chromosomes
what are 2 kinds of cellular respiration
mitosis and meiosis
mitosis can copy all chromosomes except
gender chromosomes or sex linked chromosomes
what is the purpose of mitosis
growth
repair
asexual reproduction
what type of cells results from mitosis
diploid 2n and somatic cells
what is the purpose of meiosis
sexual reproduction
what type of cells are a result of meiosis
haploid cells n and gamete cells
what is somatic cells
every cell except sex cells
what is gamete cells
sex cells
haploid cells cut chromosomes down by
1/2
what are the steps of mitosis
1st duplication of all chromosomes
2nd distribution via mitosis
3rd 2 exact daughter cells are made
what are the 2 main phases of mitosis
interphase and mitotic
what happens during interphase
cell growth
DNA duplicated
what happens during mitotic phase
DNA separated and cell divides
what happens during interphase check point G1
cell growth by eating and collecting nutrients
what happens during interphase check point G2
cell growth you can physically see by doubling organelles
what happens during interphase check point S
DNA synthesis or copying and making sister chromatids
in the mitotic phase 2 sister chromatids
seperate
