Mitosis & Asexual Reproduction

Question 0

Mitosis

Answer 0

Nucleus divides up into 2 new daughter cells, it’s the first step of cell division
The daughter cells are identical to the parent cell

Question 1

Cell Division

Answer 1

The cell goes through 5-6 phases and produces 2 daughter cells
The cell’s DNA are identical

Question 2

Cytokinesis

Answer 2

Cytoplasm divides in the second stage of cell division

The separation of one cell into two is accomplished by a structure called the contractile ring

Question 3

Interphase

Answer 3

When cells start to grow during a phase in between cell division
DNA starts to be organized= chromatin

Question 4

Cell cycle

Answer 4

Series of phases cells are being developed(IPMAT)

There are 5 steps and all have to do with dividing the nucleus to make 2 daughter cells

Question 5

Prophase

Answer 5

Longest event of mitosis. Chromosomes start doubling and the nuclear envelope disappears
DNA copies attach to each other so each chromosome have two copies of the same genes in the same locations

Question 6

Metaphase

Answer 6

Chromosomes start to line up in the middle
When sister chromatids pull apart each new cell get a complete set of DNA instead of too many or too few copies of one chromosome.

Question 7

Anaphase

Answer 7

The chromatids pull away from each other

Important to ensure a full set of DNA in the daughter cells

Question 8

Telophase

Answer 8

Nuclear envelope starts to become visible again and chromosomes start to lose their shape
It occurs in the animal cell

Question 9

Chromosomes

Answer 9

Strands of genetic material(paired chromatids)

Carry information to help cells grow, thrive, and reproduce

Question 10

Sister chromatids

Answer 10

Connected strands of 2 identical chromosomes

1/2 of the duplicated chromosome

Question 11

Chromatin

Answer 11

Strands of thin and unorganized genetic material

DNA replicates when there are a total of 2 complete copies

Question 12

Cancer

Answer 12

Cells uncontrollably divide and don’t respond to growth regulation signals.
Cancer can cause hair loss and many other symptoms

Question 13

Asexual reproduction

Answer 13

Single parent reproduces itself to make 2 identical daughter cells
Benefit: It happens quickly so it doesn’t waste time finding a mate and if it has good genes then the offspring will have good genes too

Question 14

DNA replication

Answer 14

DNA copies itself

When the replication is over with one half of the DNA is identical to each other and one is identical to the original

Question 15

Budding

Answer 15

An asexual parent disproportionately divides itself

Example: Hydras

Question 16

Binary fission

Answer 16

Asexual parent divides itself equally

Example: Bacteria

Question 17

Regeneration

Answer 17

Remaining cells divide themselves to regrow an entire body part
Example: star fish- arm breaks off, remaining cells divide to re-create missing arm
