1
New cards

G1 phase

Cell growth

2
New cards

S phase

Dna relpication

3
New cards

G2 phase

Preperation for mitosis

4
New cards

Mitosis

Cell division

5
New cards

What is the cell cycle?

The process of copying cells and dividing them.

6
New cards

When does danger replicated in the cell cycle?

S phase

7
New cards

Do all cells undergo cell division (mitosis) after interphase?

No, some cells enter the G0 phase

8
New cards

Diploid

Cells that have 2 sets of chromosomes/body cells

9
New cards

Haploid

Cells that have 1 sets of chromosomes/sex cells

10
New cards

Tetrad

Homologous pairs of each pairing / 4 chromatids

11
New cards

Chromosome

Condensed organized structure of dna

12
New cards

Chromatids

Arm of a chromosome

13
New cards

Centromere

Region in middle of chromosome where sister chromatids attach

14
New cards

Fertilization

Occurs when a sperm fuses with an egg

15
New cards

Prophase

Chromosomes condense ("appear")/Nuclear envelope dissolves/Centrioles move to opposite sides (poles) of the cell

16
New cards

Metaphase

Centrioles send out spindle fibers that attach to the chromosomes/Chromosomes are lined up in the middle of the cell

17
New cards

Anaphase

Chromosomes (sister chromatids) are pulled apart and move to the poles

18
New cards

Telophase/cytokinesis

Occurs simultaneously with each other /The nuclear envelope reforms around the chromosome /The cytoplasm divides, 2 daughter cells are produced( each one exact copies of the original w/46 chromosomes), Has 46 chromosomes

19
New cards

In what type of cells does meiosis occur?

Sex cells

20
New cards

What is the purpose of meiosis?

To produce sex cells with half the amount of chromosomes

21
New cards

When is the diploid number of chromosomes reduced to the haploid number of chromosomes?

End of meiosis 1

22
New cards

Meiosis 1 results in the separation of…

Chromosomes

23
New cards

Meiosis II results in the separation of…

Chromatids

24
New cards

Mitosis

Body cells, Diploid, Enables organisms to grow, repair damaged tissues and replace old cells, One round of cell division, Creates two genetically identical daughter cells for growth and repair, Division of nucleus, IPMAT

25
New cards

Meiosis

Sex cells, Produce gametes for sexual reproduction, Two rounds at nuclear division , Creates four genetically unique cells for sexual reproduction, PMAT, Two stages- meiosis 1 and 2

26
New cards

What are homologous chromosomes?

Pair of chromosomes with identical features , Similar but not identical , One from mom and one from dad

27
New cards

What are sister chromosomes?

Two identical chromatids

28
New cards

How does anaphase differ in meiosis 1 and II?

Meiosis 1 = moving chromosomes…….meiosis 2=moving chromatids

29
New cards

What does cancer have to do with the cell cycle?

The cells don't divide properly

30
New cards

What is a tumor?

Cells that don't divide properly

31
New cards

Prophase 1

Homologous pairs crossing over occurs , Chromosomes condense nuclear envelope fragments

32
New cards

Metaphase 1

Align along equator of cell

33
New cards

Anaphase 1

Separate and move to opposite poles

34
New cards

Telophase 1

Nuclear envelopes reappear, Spindle fibers disappear , Cytokinesis divides cell into two

35
New cards

Prophase II

Chromosomes appear in 2 cells

36
New cards

Metaphase II

Chromosomes lined up in middle

37
New cards

Anaphase II

Chromosomes split into chromatids

38
New cards

Telophase II

4 daughter cells with chromatids

39
New cards

A cell with two pairs of each set of chromosomes is called a

Diploid

40
New cards

These cells are typically found throughout the body tissues and called

Somatic cells

41
New cards

A cell with only one set of chromosomes is called

Haploid

42
New cards

These types of cells are found in the reproductive organs and are called

Germ

43
New cards

Sperm and egg cells are called

Gametes

44
New cards

A fertilized egg is a

Zygote

45
New cards

A type of cell division that results in diploid cells

Mitosis

46
New cards

A type of cell division that results in haploid cells

Meiosis

47
New cards

When a sperm and egg combine it is called

Zygote

48
New cards

What is the diploid number for humans?

46

49
New cards

What is the haploid number?

23

50
New cards

Matching chromosomes are called

Homologous pairs

51
New cards

During prophase I of meiosis, these pairs form a Tetrad in a process called

Crossing over

52
New cards

When homologous chromosomes exchange genes, it is called

Crossing over

53
New cards

How many daughter cells are created at the end of meiosis I

2

54
New cards

Meiosis II

4

55
New cards

During meiosis, chromosomes will split into daughter cells randomly, making each gamete unique. This is called

Genetic variation

56

A fertilized egg is called

Zygote

57
