Review Flashcards
1
Q
Prophase
A
- a chromatin strand that becomes more tightly coiled
- the strands join together and are called chromosomes (46)
- a chromosomes is made up of 2 identical sister chromatids and are joined by a centromere
- centrioles move to opposite ends of the cell to give direction
- spindle fibres guide chromosomes and stretch across the cell from centriole to centriole
- nuclear membrane and nucleus disappears
2
Q
Metaphase
A
- chromosomes line up in the middle
- spindle fibres attach to chromosomes at the centromere
- tugging of spindle fibres pulls chromosomes into a line
3
Q
Anaphase
A
- two exact copies of sister chromatids within each chromosome are pulled apart by the spindle fibres
- the centromere are pulled apart making the sister chromatids separate to opposite poles of the cell
4
Q
Telophase
A
- chromatids reach the poles
- chromosomes stretch out again (chromatin)
- spindle fibers and centriole disappear
- nuclear membrane reforms around the chromatin
- nucleus forms inside each nucleus - - opposite of prophase
5
Q
eukaryotes
A
- cells that has a true nucleus
6
Q
prokaryotes
A
- Lacks a true nucleus
- genetic material is free floating in the cell
- genetic material is either a loop or small piece caked a plasmid
7
Q
vestigal structures
A
- structures that are reduced or non-functional version of a structure that was functional in the organism’s ancestors
- Ex. dogs have a vestigial toe
