Mitosis
Cell division to produce new cells
\-biggest process in the Cell Cycle

New cards
Prophase
1st step of Mitosis
\-chromatin condenses into chromosomes
\-centrioles separate, spindles form, then attach to centromeres on chromosome
\-nucleus starts to dissolve; free movement of chromosomes
\-chromatin condenses into chromosomes
\-centrioles separate, spindles form, then attach to centromeres on chromosome
\-nucleus starts to dissolve; free movement of chromosomes

New cards
Metaphase
2nd step of Mitosis
\-chromosomes line up in the middle of cell
\-connected to spindle fibers at their centromere
\-chromosomes line up in the middle of cell
\-connected to spindle fibers at their centromere
8
New cards
Anaphase
3rd step of Mitosis
\-sister chromatids separate into their own chromosome
\-migrate to opposite sides of cell
\-”eat” their way down spindle
\-empty spindle fibers push on each other, causing cells to elongate
\-sister chromatids separate into their own chromosome
\-migrate to opposite sides of cell
\-”eat” their way down spindle
\-empty spindle fibers push on each other, causing cells to elongate
9
New cards
Telophase
4th step of Mitosis
\-chromosomes move to each end of cell
\-chromosomes loosen up into chromatin
\-nucleus reappears
\-chromosomes move to each end of cell
\-chromosomes loosen up into chromatin
\-nucleus reappears
10
New cards
Cytokinesis
3rd named process in Cell Cycle (or Mitosis 1.5)
\-cytoplasm divides
\-cleavage furrow splits cell
\-2 daughter cells identical to each other + original “parent” cell
\-cytoplasm divides
\-cleavage furrow splits cell
\-2 daughter cells identical to each other + original “parent” cell
11
New cards
big, DNA
if a cell gets too -----, don’t have enough ------ to control whole cell
12
New cards
area, volume
surface () to () ratio
13
New cards
volume
1 cell divides into 2 to reduce…
14
New cards
exchange
if the cell is bigger, it cannot ---- materials as fast as they grow
15
New cards
more material
more volume = () in/out
16
New cards
high
cell require ------ surface area : volume ratio
17
New cards
asexual reproduction
use of cell division to create genetically identical offspring from a single parent
\-simple, efficient, fast
\-simple, efficient, fast
18
New cards
sexual reproduction
fusion of two parent sex cells (1/2 original DNA)
to create 1 offspring cell with DNA from both parents
\-produces variation
to create 1 offspring cell with DNA from both parents
\-produces variation
19
New cards
Chromatin
loosely coiled DNA & proteins that are easy to read
20
New cards
Chromosome
tightly condensed DNA & proteins
\-unable to read, but easy to move
\-unable to read, but easy to move
21
New cards
Chromatids
strands of DNA making up chromosomes
22
New cards
sister chromatids
after chromatids are copied, 2 copies known as ---------
(f attached = 1 chromosome)
(f attached = 1 chromosome)
23
New cards
centromere
area where ------- attach to each other
24
New cards

New cards
cell
eukaryotes use the ------- cycle
