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.
