Cards

Term
interphase
Definition
G1
Synthesis
G2
Term
G1
Definition
gap one, 12 hours, normal cell operations and cell growth, only one copy of DNA, cell growing and getting ready to make DNA
Term
synthesis
Definition
6 hours, synthesis of DNA, results in duplication of chromosomes, DNA replication and making DNA
Term
G2
Definition
gap two, 6 hours, more cytoplasmic growth and preparation for cell division, cell is grwoing and getting ready to divide into two new cells
Term
mitotic phase
Definition
-mitosis
-cytokinesis
Term
mitosis
Definition
-two quantities of DNA are moved to opposite sides of parent cell
-phrophase
-metaphase
-anaphase
-telophase
Term
prophase
Definition
-can finally see chromosomes, DNA coiled and condensed into 1 -two centrosomes start to move apart to poles -begin sprouting microtubles in all direction -mitotic spindle
Term
centrosome
Definition
cellular strucutre that acts as an organizing center for the assembly of microtubles-duplicates
Term
mitotic spindle
Definition
microtubules activate in cell division
Term
metaphase
Definition
nuclear envelope disappears completely, microtubles growing towards chromosomes attach and allign to them
Term
anaphase
Definition
genetic material divides, sister chromatids pull apart (pull toward respective pole
Term
telophase
Definition
represents return of things before mitosis, newely independent chromosomes unwind and lose clearly defined shape, new nuclear membranes are forming
Term
cytokinesis
Definition
-tighteinging of cellular waistband, composed of two sets of rotein filaments working together
-filamints form ring that arrows along cellular equator
-dividing cell has hour glass shape
-one cell becomes two
Term
cleavage furrow
Definition
-indentation of cells surface during cytokinesis, results from ring contraction
Term
G0
Definition
-mantaining--not making new cells
Term
Mitosis
Definition
-interphase
-miotic phase
G0
Term
when mitosis and cell division used?
Definition
-all cell division except for egg and sperm production
-used for growth, maintence, repair
Term
nucleaus
Definition
part of cell where chromosomes are found during interphase
Term
chromsomes
Definition
-units in cell into which DNA is divided and packaged
-structural unit containing part or all of oranisms genome, consists of DNA and chromatin
Term
proteins
Definition
products of genes that carry out work in the cell
Term
sister chromatids
Definition
-two packages of DNA with the same size and function that are connected following DNA replication
Term
homologous chromosomes
Definition
-two pieces of DNA that are same size and contain genes encoding same function
-contain slighly different instructions to do same job
-can have different alleles
Term
haploid
Definition
-one set of chromosomes
-no homologous chromosomes
Term
diploid
Definition
-two sets of chromosomes
-pair of homolgous chromosomes
Term
triploid
Definition
-three sets of chromosomes
-triplet homologous chromosomes
Term
process of mitosis
Definition
-phrophase
-metaphase
-anaphase
-telophase
-cytokineisis
