bio interactive notes mitosis and meiosis

Cards (40)

  • Interphase
    During this stage, the cell grows and DNA replicates. There are 3 parts to this stage
  • what is the first part of Interphase
    G1 phase
  • what does the g1 phase do
    Cell growth
  • What is the second part of Interphase
    S phase
  • What does the S phase do
    Synthesis phase, DNA replicates
  • What is the third part of Interphase
    G2 phase
  • What does the G2 phase do
    prepares for mitosis and cells continue to grow
  • Mitosis
    part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides
  • cytokinesis
    division of the cytoplasm
  • cancer
    A group of cells that are dividing uncontrollably
  • Cyclins
    proteins that regulate the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells
  • Meiosis
    The process of making gametes ( eggs and sperm)
  • Gametes need to have ____ the DNA of a normal cell ( this is called ____)
    Half, Haploid
  • Meiosis begins with a _____ parent cell and ends with 4 _____ daughter cells
    Diploid, haploid
  • Interphase 1
    Parent cell replicates its DNA to make double-stranded chromosomes. This cell is DIPLOID (2N)
  • Prophase 1

    crossing over occurs in
  • Metaphase 1
    Spindle fibers attach to chromosomes at their centromere and homologous chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
  • Anaphase 1
    Spindle fibers pull homologous chromosomes apart
  • telophase + cytokinesis
    A new nuclear membrane forms and the cell separates into 2 haploid cells
  • Prophase II
    nuclear membrane dissolves and chromosomes pack up tightly. These cells are now haploid
  • metaphase II
    Spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes at their centromere and chromosomes line up at the middle of the cell
  • Anaphase II
    spindle fibers pull sister chromatids apart
  • Telophase II
    New nuclear membranes form and the cell begins to separate
  • Cytokinesis
    Meiosis II results in four haploid(N) daughter cells
  • Sex chromosomes
    Chromosomes that determine the sex of an organism ( x or y)
  • What sex chromosomes does a male have
    XY
  • What sex chromosomes does a female have
    XX
  • Autosomes
    non-sex chromosomes (22 pairs)
  • How many autosomes do humans have
    44 ( 22 pairs)
  • Sexual reproduction
    When 2 cells ( egg & sperm) join to produce a zygote
  • Asexual reproduction
    Process by which a single parent reproduces by itself
  • Binary fission ( mitosis)

    parent cell replicates its DNA and then divides into 2 cells.
  • Budding
    part of a parent pinches off to form offspring.
  • karyotype
    A photograph of the chromosomes in a cell
  • Nondisjunction
    when chromosomes do not separate properly
  • Normal humans have 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes. If any chromosomes are missing or added, what is the result?
    A disorder
  • If a body cell of a chimpanzee contains 48 chromosomes, a gamete produced by a chimpanzee will contain how many chromosomes?
    24 chromosomes
  • Mitosis is the process by which cells divide to produce two genetically identical daughter cells.
  • Meiosis is the process by which sex cells (gametes) are produced, resulting in four haploid daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
  • The stages of mitosis include prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis.
