The Cell Cycle And Mitosis Flashcards
Cells that make your organs and tissues
Somatic cell
The ONLY cell that are not somatic - sperm and egg (gametes)
Sex cell
Division of cell nucleus
Mitosis
Division of the cell cytoplasm
Cytokinesis
Is the series of event that cell go through as they grow and divide
Cell cycle
Is the period of growth that occurs between cell division.
Cell spends most of its life in this phase
Interphase
what happens during the cell cycle?
A cell grows
Prepare for division
Divides to form two daughter cell
What happens during G1?
The cell increases in size (cell grows)
cell develop
what happens durin S phase?
Dna eplication
DNA synthesis takes place
Why does interphase happen?
Cell must grow in order for extra organelles and DNA to have a room in the cell
Long, thin strands made up off DNA and protein
Chromatin
Genetic information is passed from one generation to the next on chromosomes
Chromosomes
Each chromosome consist of two identical ?
“Sister” chromatid
Pmat
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Cell division
Mitosis
