Mitosis and Meiosis

Cards (105)

  • Somatic cell- From the body of organisms
  • Somatic cell maintain life processes
  • Reproductive cell is a production of offspring
  • Eggs and sperm cell are known as gametes
  • Cell cycle is a life of a cell
  • Cell cycle from its origin in the division of parent cell until its own division into two cells
  • Why do cells divide?
    Asexual reproduction, growth, renewal and pair
  • What are the cell cycle stages?

    Gap 1, S Phase, Gap 2
  • Mitotic phase involves in karyokinesis
  • Mitosis is a duplicate of the cell cycle, where the cell divides into two identical cells.
  • Cytokinesis: the cytoplasmic division of a cell at the end of mitosis or meiosis, bringing about the separation into two daughter cells.
  • G1 phase: cell grows and carries out normal metabolism; organelles duplicate
  • G1 phase: The cell larges and there is a synthesis of proteins
  • S phase: Growth and DNA replication are the 2 stage.
  • S phase: DNA replication and chromosome duplication
  • G2: Cell grows and prepares for mitosis
  • G2 phase: Characterized by growth and preparation in mitosis
  • G0: Cell will leave the cycle and quit dividing
  • G0: Centrioles separate into two pairs
  • G0: Proteins required for mitosis are synthesized
  • G0: RNA required to direct protein synthesis necessary for mitosis is synthesized
  • Prophase: Condensation of chromosomes
  • Prophase; Disappearance of nuclear membrane
  • Prophase: Movement of the centrioles on the opposite poles
  • Prophase: Chromatin thickens into chromosomes
  • Prophase: Centriole pairs move to opposite ends of the cell
  • Prophase: Spindle fibers begin to form
  • Early prophase: The cell starts to break down some structures and build others up.
  • Early prophase: Setting the stage for division of the chromosomes.
  • Late prophase: The nuclear envelope breaks down and the chromosomes are fully condensed.
  • Late prophase: Mitotic spindle grows and the microtubules grows more
  • Metaphase: Chromosomes align along the metaphase plate
  • Metaphase: Chromosomes attached to the spindle through kinetochores
  • Anaphase: Paired chromosomes separate and move opposite sides of the cell
  • Anaphase: Separation of centromeres
  • Anaphase: Separated chromosomes are called daughter chromosomes
  • Early anaphase: The chromatids abruptly separate and move towards the spindle poles
  • Late anaphase: the spindle poles move apart as interpolar microtubules elongate and slide past one another
  • Nondisjunction: They do not separate
  • Nondisjunction: After division, there are more chromosome in one cell than the other
