Week 13- mitosis/meiosis Flashcards
What types of cells are diploid and what does this mean?
have 46 chromosomes -23 pairs
regular body cells- epithelial, tissue, etc…
What types of cells are haploid and what does this mean?
sex cells –sperm and oocytes
23 chromosomes
Describe Mitosis—what types of cells undergo this type of cell division?
cell division in body cells
replace damaged/ worn out body cells
diploid cells
How many chromosomes does a parent cell have?
46
How many cells result from the cell division? How many chromosomes do they have?
2 identical daughter cells
46 each-exact copy of each other/old parent cell
Are these cells similar to the parent cell or different from the parent cell?
these cells are exact copies of each other and the parent cell that they came from
What cells CANNOT undergo mitosis to be replaced?
nuerons
skeletal muscle
cardiac muscle
What occurs in cancerous cells?
when you have uncontrolled mitosis
create cells that aren’t functional
can cause organs to not function correctly
Describe interphase (how does DNA replication occur?
Prep for cell division
dna replication
double up on all organelles
Phase 1 of mitosis
Prophase
nucelar envelope disintegrates - causes dna/rna to be free flowing and floating
Phase 2 of mitosis
metaphase
chromosomes will line up in the middle
chromosomes are attached to spindle fibers at polar ends
Phase 3 of mitosis
anaphase
chromosomes will pull apart towards both sides
half one way, half other way
Phase 4 of mitosis
telophase
puts dna into nuclear envelope on each side
cytokinesis
complete final split on both sides
now you have two cells from one cell
Describe meiosis: what type of cells undergo this type of cell division?
process used to produce gametes(sperm and oocyte )
How many chromosomes does the primary cell have? in meiosis
start with diploid cell
46 chromosomes
