Module 4 - Mitosis Flashcards
Reasons of Cellular Reproduction
(1) Growth
(2) Ensure genome persistence
(3) Repair
Original Cell is ____ and the product cells are called ___
Parent cell ; Daughter cells
Two types of cells:
Prokaryotic (single celled organisms) and Eukaryotic cells (animal and plant cells)
(1) Chromosome replicates into identical loops and attaches to the opposite sides of plasma membrane
(2) Membrane grows and cytoplasm divides creating two new cells
Binary Fission, happens in prokaryotic cells
Eukaryotic cells divide through a series of growth through
Cell Cycle
1) Interphase (90% of the process
(2) Division Phase
Interphase Stages
G1 (Cell growth)
S (DNA Replication)
G2 (Preparation for Mitosis, doubling of organelles; prep of centrioles)
Division Phase Process
(1) Mitosis
- Prophase
- Metaphase
- Anaphase
- Telophase
(2)Cytokinesis
Process that divides the cell nucleus to produce new nuclei with a complete set of chromosomes
Mitosis
- Chromosomes are visible (sister chromatids)
- Centrioles slowly migrate to the poles
- Nuclear membrane disappears
- Spindle fiber forms
Prophase
- Chromosomes line up on the equator of the cell
- Spindles attach to centromeres (center of chromosomes)
Metaphase
- Sister chromatids separate
- Centromeres divide
- Sister chromatids move to opposite poles
Anaphase
- Chromosomes uncoil (Chromatin)
- Nuclear membrane reforms
- Spindle dissapears
Telophase
Occurs at the end of mitosis
- Organelles are divided
- Cytoplasm divides
Daughter cells are genetically identical
Cytokinesis
