Unit 2-Mitosis and Meiosis Flashcards
Mitosis- Interphase
Cell cycle when the cell grows, copies it’s DNA, and prepares to divide.
Mitosis- Prophase
Chromatin condenses, nucleus breaks down, centrioles move apart, spindles form
Mitosis-Metaphase
Chromosomes are pulled to the center of the cell.
Mitosis-Anaphase
Chromosomes are pulled apart at the centromere with each sister chromatid moving to opposite sides of the cell
Mitosis-Telophase
Spindle fibers dissolve and the nucleus reforms around each set of chromosomes.
Meiosis-Interphase
The cell grows, copies DNA, and prepares to divide
Meiosis-Prophase 1
Nucleus breaks down, chromatin condenses into chromosomes, homologous chromosomes pair up, and crossing over occurs
Meiosis- Metaphase 1
pairs of homologous chromosomes line up at the center of the cell
Meiosis- Anaphase 1
Homologous chromosomes are pulled to opposite sides of the cell.
Meiosis- Telophase 1
Spindle fibers dissolve and new nuclei from around the cell.
Meiosis- Prophase 2
Nucleus breaks down and chromatin condenses into chromosomes
Meiosis-Metaphase 2
When individual chromosomes line up at the center of the cell
Meiosis- Anaphase 2
Chromosomes are split at the centromere and the individual chromatids are pulled to opposite sides of the cell
Meiosis- Telophase 2
Spindle fibers dissolve and new nuclei from around the chromosomes.
Cytokinesis
Cytoplasm divides into 2 or 4 daughter cells
Cell cycle
Regular sequence of growth and division that cell undergo
Cell cycle (interphase) G1 (Growth) Part 1
The cells are growing and replicating organelles , and carrying out their natural functions.
Cell cycle (interphase) G2 (Growth) Part 3
Cells continue normal function and more growth, things must be in order before the next stage.
Cell cycle (interphase) S (DNA synthesis) Part 2
Cells are copying their nuclear DNA, before this stage DNA is stored loosely and stage S organizes it in the nucleus in 2 complete DNA sets.
Mitosis (M) Part 4
One copy of DNA is distributed into each identical daughter cell
Meiosis
Type of cell division where chromosomes number is reduced by half and the daughter cells are genetically distinct from the parents
