Cards

Term
parents produce
Definition
a new generation of cells or multicelled individuals like themselves
Term
parents must provide daughter cells with
Definition
hereditary instructions, encoded in DNA, and enough metabolic machinery to start up their own operation
Term
eukaryotic
Definition
mitosis and meiosis
Term
mitosis
Definition
somatic cells
Term
meiosis
Definition
reproductive cells
Term
prokaryotic organisms
Definition
prokaryotic fission
Term
some protistans, fungi, plants, animals
Definition
asexual reprodution
Term
chromosome
Definition
A DNA molecule & attached proteins
Term
duplicated in preparation for mitosis
Definition
chromosome
Term
telophase, anaphase, metaphase, prophase
Definition
mitosis
Term
interphase
Definition
G1 phase-assemble carbohydrates, lipids proteins
Term
S phase-DNA and histones are copied
Definition
interphase
Term
somatic cells
Definition
chromosome number is diploid (2n)
Term
gametes
Definition
chromosome number is haploid (n)
Term
one of each chromosome type
Definition
gametes
Term
diploid chromosome number (n)
Definition
46
Term
two sets of 23 chromosomes each
Definition
one set from father; one set from mother
Term
the spindle apparatus
Definition
consists of two distinct sets of microtubules
Term
moves chromosomes during mitosis
Definition
the spindle apparatus
Term
late prophase
Definition
new microtubules are assembled
Term
one centriole pair is moved toward opposite pole of spindle
Definition
late prophase
Term
transition to metaphase
Definition
spindle microtubules extend from the centrioles and attach to the centromeres of the sister chromotids
Term
metaphase
Definition
all chromosomes are lined up at the spindle equator
Term
chromosomes are maximally condensed
Definition
metaphase
Term
anaphase
Definition
sister chromatids of each chromosome are pulled apart at the knetochores
Term
microtubules shorten and pull chromosomes toward opposite poles
Definition
anaphase
Term
telophase
Definition
chromosomes decondense
Term
two nuclear membranes form, one around each set of unduplicated chromosomes
Definition
telophase
Term
results of mitosis
Definition
two daughter nuclei
Term
cytoplasmic division (cytokinesis)
Definition
usually occurs between late anaphase and end of telophase
Term
cell plate formation
Definition
plants
Term
cleavage furrow
Definition
animals
Term
a ring of microfilaments in the same plane as the spindle equator contracts, dividing the animal cell
Definition
cleavage furrow
Term
cell division
Definition
individual cells of a human embryo divide, developing from a paddle-like structure into a hand
Term
Once S begins, the cycle automatically
Definition
runs through G2 and mitosis
Term
The cycle has a built-in molecular brake in
Definition
G1
Term
Cancer involves a loss of
Definition
control over the cycle, malfunction of the "brakes"
Term
some cells normally stop in
Definition
interphase
Term
adverse conditions
Definition
can stop cycle
Term
nutrient-deprived amoebas
Definition
get stuck in interphase
Term
kinases
Definition
signal the end of DNA
Term
growth factors
Definition
signal the start of mitosis
Term
mitotic control
Definition
checkpoint genes
Term
tumors
Definition
neoplasms
Term
sometimes a checkpoint gene
Definition
mutates and control over cell division is lost
Term
cells uncontrollable division forms
Definition
an abnormal mass called a tumor
Term
the metastasizing cells
Definition
become attached to the wall of a blood or lymph vessel
Term
cancer cells creep or tumble along inside blood vessels, then
Definition
leave the bloodstream the same way they got in.
Term
HeLa Cells
Definition
line of human cancer ells that can be grown in culture
Term
descendants of tumor cells from a woman named Henrietta Lacks
Definition
HeLa cells
