Which has daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell?
Meiosis
______ enables organisms to reproduce sexually
Mitosis
______ could be used for human growth.
Mitosis
___ could be used to replenish depleted organs and tissues.
Meiosis
______ is reserved for the creation of sperm and egg cells.
Anaphase (IDing picture/no definition)
Which stage of mitosis does this image represent?
Metaphase (IDing picture/no definition)
Which stage of mitosis does this image represent?
Prophase (IDing picture/no definition)
Which stage of mitosis does this image represent?
Telophase (IDing picture/no definition)
Which stage of mitosis does this image represent?
Interphase
Time period between cell divisions when the cell grows, DNA duplicates and preparation for mitosis occurs.
Mitosis
cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the same number of chromosomes
Cytokinesis
Division of the cytoplasm and organelles
Plant Cell Cytokinesis
Which type of cytokinesis?
Plant or Animal
Animal Cell Cytokinesis
Which type of cytokinesis?
Plant or Animal
Prophase (image and definition)
Nuclear membrane disappears / Chromatin condenses and thickens into chromosomes / Spindle fibers appear
Anaphase (image and definition)
The spindle fibers pull the chromatids apart and pull them to opposite poles. This gives rise to daughter chromosomes
Telophase (image and definition)
Nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes / Spindle fibers disappear / Chromosomes return to there original, uncondensed chromatin form
Two Daughter Cells
End result of mitosis
Metaphase (image and definition)
Chromosomes line up along the equator in the middle of the cell
Cancer
disorder in which some of the body's cells lose the ability to control growth
Stages of Interphase
G1, S, G2
cell cycle checkpoints
mechanisms that monitor the preparedness of a eukaryotic cell to advance through the various cell cycle stages
G1 checkpoint
checks for cell size, nutrients, growth factors and DNA damage
G2 checkpoint
checks for cell size and DNA replication
M checkpoint
Spindle assembly checkpoint. Mitosis will not continue if chromosomes are not properly aligned.
Centrioles
Cell organelle that aids in cell division in animal cells only
spindle fibers
help pull apart the cell during replication and are made up of micrtubules
Meiosis
a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores.
Meiosis I
The first division of a two-stage process of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that results in cells with half the number of chromosome sets as the original cell.
Meiosis II
the second phase of meiosis consisting of chromatids separating, along with the two diploid cells splitting in two
Prophase I (Meiosis)
homologous chromosomes pair up and form tetrads, crossing over occurs
tetrad
structure containing 4 chromatids that forms during meiosis
crossing over
Process in which homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their chromatids during meiosis; occurs during prophase I, increases genetic variation
Metaphase I (Meiosis)
Tetrads are lined up at the metaphase plate; Spindle fibers attach
