the division of a cell into two daughter cells with the same genetic material.

Asexual reproduction
\ * creates new life on its own with the exact same copy DNA. could be multicellular or single cellular. * When multicellular it reproduces to repair itself. Is found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. * Bacteria reproduces by binary fission * Kalanchoe plants from from plantlets * Hydras reproduce by budding

New cards
Sexual reproduction
takes 2 things to create new life with a mix of DNA from both.
4
New cards
Chromosome
makes it possible for to separate the DNA during cell division
5
New cards
DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid
6
New cards
Mitosis
a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus
7
New cards
meiosis
a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus
8
New cards
Plantlets
a small or young plant
9
New cards
budding
a form of asexual reproduction in which a new individual develops from some generative anatomical point of the parent organism.
10
New cards
binary fission
asexual reproduction by splitting into 2 new bodies
11
New cards
Chromatid
each strand of duplicated chromosome
12
New cards
Centromere
the area where each pair of chromatids is joined
13
New cards
Centrioles
tiny structures located in the cytoplasm of animal cells that help organize the spindle
14
New cards
Spindle
a fanlike microtubule structure that helps separate the chromatids
15
New cards
prophase
Spindle fiber formed, d chromosomes are visible, and the nucleus disappears
16
New cards
Metaphase
centered chromosomes , fibers attach at the centromere
17
New cards
Anaphase
separate d chromosome move to the opposite side
18
New cards
Telophase
New nucleus is formed
19
New cards
cancer
A term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues
20
New cards
histone porteins
A histone is **a protein that provides structural support for a chromosome**.
21
New cards
as a cell grows it demands more of what?
DNA
22
New cards
where is the cells biological information stored?
In the DNA
23
New cards
how does food, water and oxygen enter the cell
through the cell membrane
24
New cards
how is the rate at which cells take in materials effected
depending on the surface area of the cell
25
New cards
when does a cell decide if it needs to split
when it becomes to large and can’t make enough DNA
26
New cards
what are chromosomes
genetic material passed from one generation to the next
27
New cards
when nucleosomes interact with one another what happens
they form coils and super coils that are made up of chromosomes
28
New cards
where is the DNA found in prokaryotic cells
in the cytoplasm
29
New cards
what fazes do eukaryotic cells use
g1,s,g2,m
30
New cards
what happens in the G1 stage
cells increase in size and synthesizes new proteins and organelles
31
New cards
what happens in the s stage
DNA is copied
32
New cards
what happens in the G2 phase
preparing for mitosis and finishing any other molecule that may not be there
33
New cards
what happens during the M phase
mitosis
34
New cards
what is mitosis
a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus
35
New cards
what happens in metaphase 1
centered chromosomes , fibers attach at the centromere (not identical)
36
New cards
what happens in prophase 1
Spindle fiber formed, d chromosomes are visible,chromosomes crossing over, and the nucleus disappears
37
New cards
what happens in anaphase 1
separate d chromosome move to the opposite side, the spindle pulls homologous pairs apart
