Term
Is mitosis an example of asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction?
Definition
asexual
Term
What is the purpose of mitosis?
Definition
growth and to replace dead or damaged cells
Term
What types of cells are made via mitosis?
Definition
somatic cells
Term
Each half of a chromsome is called ____.
Definition
sister chromatid
Term
Where are the sister chromatids attached?
Definition
centromere
Term
How many chromosomes are found in human somatic cells? Reproductive cells?
Definition
somatic=46, reproductive=23
Term
_____ attach to the centromeres & move chromosomes.
Definition
spindle fibers
Term
What are the stages of the cell cycle?
Definition
interphase (S1, G, S2), mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase), cytokinesis
Term
In which phase of the cell cycle does the cell carry out its daily processes?
Definition
interphase
Term
What is the goal of mitosis?
Definition
divide the mother cell into 2 identical daughter cells
Term
What happens during prophase of mitosis?
Definition
DNA condenses (becomes more compact), centrioles move to opposite poles, spindle fibers form, nuclear membrane breaks down
Term
What happens during metaphase of mitosis?
Definition
chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
Term
What happens during anaphase of mitosis?
Definition
sister chromatids separate from each other pulled to opposite poles of the cell
Term
What happens during telophase of mitosis?
Definition
chromosomes decondense, new nuclear membranes begin to form around each set of DNA
Term
How does cytokinesis occur in animal cells?
Definition
a cleavage furrow develops, the cytoplasm is pinched
Term
How does cytokinesis occur in plant cells?
Definition
a cell plate forms from the inside out, eventually generating a complete cell wall
Term
How are cancer cells different from normal cells?
Definition
cancer cells lose the ability to control the rate of cell division, checkpoints are skipped
Term
What is the difference between a benign and malignant tumor?
Definition
benign= doesn't spread
malignant= can spread
Term
Gametes are produced by ______.
Definition
meiosis
Term
Why do gametes need to be created via meiosis?
Definition
the chromosome number needs to be cut in half
Term
Define fertilization.
Definition
process where egg & sperm fuse to create zygote
Term
Define zygote.
Definition
fertilized egg
Term
Define homologous chromosomes.
Definition
pair of chromosomes that are inherited from different parents, carry the same genes
Term
Define diploid.
Definition
cell that contains both sets of homologous chromosomes.
Term
Define haploid.
Definition
cell that contains 1 set of chromosomes
Term
Give an example of a human diploid cell.
Definition
somatic (liver, brain, skin, stomach, nerve cells are all examples)
Term
Give an example of a human haploid cell.
Definition
reproductive cell (egg/sperm)
Term
What is a karyotype?
Definition
display of a person's chromosomes
Term
How would you determine the gender of a person using a karyotype?
Definition
look at the 23rd pair (sex chromosomes)
XX=female, XY=male
Term
What occurs during prophase I?
Definition
tetrads form, crossing over occurs
Term
What occurs during metaphase I?
Definition
homologous chromosomes line up in middle of cell
Term
What occurs during anaphase I?
Definition
homologous chromosomes separate & are pulled to opposite poles of cell
Term
What occurs during telophase I?
Definition
nuclear envelope reforms, chromosomes decondense, cleavage furrow starts to form
Term
What occurs during prophase II?
Definition
nuclear membrane breaks down, chromosomes condense
Term
What occurs during metaphase II?
Definition
single chromosomes line up in center of cell
Term
What occurs during anaphase II?
Definition
sister chromatids separate
Term
What is the result of meiosis?
Definition
4 genetically different daughter cells
Term
What factors contribute of genetic variation?
Definition
chromosome assortment, crossing over
Term
What is nondisjunction?
Definition
chromosomes fail to separate correctly during division
Term
When nondisjunction occurs at chromosome 21, what condition results?
Definition
Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome)
Term
