interphase
-longest phase in the cell cycle -cells mature and perform normal functions (respiration/enzyme production) -consist of gap phase 1, synthesis phase, gap phase 2
gap phase 1
-hormonal growth/development -number of organelles and the amount of cytoplasm in a cell increase
synthesis
-DNA replicate -the chromosomes of a cell replicates
gap phase 2
-cell makes organelles and substances it needs for cell division -more mitochondria, puff cytoplasm, more golgi
homologous pair
-matching pair (size)
chromosome
-one pair from mom and one from dad -they do not come together, they replicate -double rods -dominant/recessive -biggest to smallest (pair 1 is biggest)
held together at centromere
where are chromosomes held together?
dominant
a gene in one strand of DNA that is stronger than the corresponding gene in another strand of DNA
recessive
a gene in one strand of DNA that is weaker than the corresponding gene in another strand of DNA
a sex chromosome
what chromosome are girls missing?
23
how many pairs of chromosomes do we have?
23 on lineup
what # is a sex chromosome on lineup?
mitosis
-the nucleus of a cell divides into 2 nuclei with identical genetic material -prophase, metephase, anaphase, telophase
cell division
-occurs in 2 main steps, the division of a cell into 2 daughter cells with the same genetic material -mitosis and cytokinesis
cytokinesis
cytoplasm of cell divides into 2 new cells (daughter cells)
prophase
-sister chromotad condense to become thicker -nucleolus/ nuclear envelope disappear -micro-tubules assemble
metaphase
-chromosomes are moved to center of cell by spindle fibers attached to centromeres
anaphase
centromeres of each chromosome are pulled by spindle fibers toward end of cell
telophase
new nuclei begins to form around chromosome mitosis is complete cell membrane begins to pinch cell in 2 as cytokinesis begins
shortened and condensed become visible
what happens to chromosomes in prophase
sister chromatin
identical copies formed by the DNA replication of a chromosome
cleavage furrow
where an animal cell pinches
cell plate
becomes the cell wall
asexual
1 parent
binary fission
-type of asexual reproduction -a parent cell divides, resulting in two identical cells, each having the potential to grow to the size of the original cell
sexual
2 parents
gamete
-pollen, sperm, egg -a reproductive cell of an animal or plant -not in asexual
sperm and pollen
male gametes
egg
female gamete
somatic cell
all cells in body except gametes have 2 complete sets of chromosomes
diploid
a cell like a somatic cell that has 2 complete set of chromosomes -2N
fertilization
combination of genetic material
zygote
result of fertilization and one celled organism
haploid
single unpaired chromosomes -N -a cell like a gametes that has 1 complete set of chromosome
body cell
egg + sperm =
23 chromosomes
Human haploid
46 chromosomes
human diploid
23 chromsones
humans have how many chromosomes in gametes?
mutation
what occurs if sister chromotatids are not identical
not enough nutrients and oxygen
what happens if a cell is too big?
spindle fiber
made of microtubule fibers
germ cells
cells in the body that are specialized for sexual reproduction
2N
symbol for diploid
N
symbol for haploid
meiosis
a form of cell division in which the daughter cells that are produced have half the number of chromosones as the parent cell
meiosis 1 meiosis 2
what are the two parts of meiosis
meiosis 1
separates homologous pairs of chromosomes
meiosis 2
separates sister chromatid
the chromosomes shorten, condense visible nucelar envelope dissapears and homologous pairs come close to eachother and form tetrads
what happens in prophase 1
crossing over
homologous pairs may exchange through genetic material in a process called
the homologous pairs line up next to eachother and spindle attaches
what happens in metaphase 1
homologus pair seperates
what happens in anaphase 1
the cell begins to divide with only one part of each pair in a new cell
what happens in telophase 1
nuclear envelope begins to disappear again and we see the chromosomes
what happens in prophase 2
the chromosomes lineup in center of each cell
what happens in metaphase 2
the sister chromatid pull apart in each cell
what happens in anaphase 2
the 2 cells begin to divide
what happens in telophase 2
four haploid cells or gametes
cytokinesis during meiosis 2 results in?
an animal cell will have a cleavage furrow while a plant cell will have a cell plate
what is the difference in cytokinesis in a plant cell vs animal cell
no
are gametes identical
gamete
haploid relate to
body cell
diploid relate to
a diploid
what is a zygote
animal and plant cells
what type of cells does mitosis produce
gametes
what type of cells does meiosis produce?
homologous pairs
meiosis 1 deal with...
sister chromatin
meiosis 2 deals with..
tetrads
what forms in meiosis prophase 1
there is no crossing over event
Tetrads do not appear in mitosis because?
Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells(haploids) Mitosis is a process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells(diploids)
