quiz 4 Flashcards
mitosis vs meiosis
-mitosis takes the cell and makes it two
—> each new cell is a diploid
—> makes somatic cells (body cells)
-meiosis results in egg and sperm
—> makes sex cells
—> cells are haploids
what is a diploid
has two copies of each gene in every cell
what is a haploid
cells that only have one copy of each gene
what are the three parts of interphase
-G1 (growth one)
-S (synthesis)
-G2 (growth 2)
interphase
-occurs before mitosis begins
-cells spend 90-95% of time in interphase
-cell grows and carries out life processes
-DNA is copied
-cell prepares for cell division
what happens in G1
the cell grows and carries out life processes (making nutrients and energy)
what happens in S
Dna copies and the chromatin thread number is doubled
what happens in G2
cell prepares for cell division
what is the order of the steps in mitosis
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
what happens in mitosis prophase
-the DNA condenses into visible chromosomes
-the nuclear membrane dissolves
-centrioles move to the poles of the cell
-the spindle fibres begin to form from centrioles and attach to centromere of the chromosome
what form in DNA in in interphase
chromatin
what happens in mitosis metaphase
-chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
-spindle fibres are used to push them there
what happens in mitosis metaphase
-chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
-spindle fibres are used to push them there
what happens in mitosis anaphase
-the centromeres divide and the chromosomes split in the middle
-the sister chromatids (now are each are separate chromosomes) are pulled by the spindle fibres to opposite poles of the cell
what happens in mitosis telophase
-opposite of prophase
-centrioles duplicate
-spindle fibres disappear
-2 new nuclear membranes form
-dna returns to chromatin form (spread out)
