DDES Cell Division
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| organisms that have a true nucleus | eukaryote |
| all cells consist of these working parts | organelles |
| organisms without a true nucleus | prokaryotes |
| only known prokaryote | bacteria |
| example of a prokaryote | E.Coli |
| characteristics of all living things | made up of cells, produced from other cells, acquire and use energy, grow, reproduce, respond to surroundings,are the basic unit of structure |
| three main parts of the cell cycle | interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis |
| main goal of the cell cycle | to create 2 cells with identical DNA |
| the organelle in which the cell cycle takes place | nucleus |
| the stage of the cell cycle when DNA is copied and preparing to divide | interphase |
| purpose of cell division | growth, reproduction, replacing damaged cells |
| simple way in which prokaryotic cells divide | binary fission |
| more complicated way in which eukaryotic cells divide | mitosis |
| division of sex cells | meiosis |
| when organisms can reproduce by themselves | asexual reproduction |
| result of meiosis | 4 cells with half the amount of chromosomes |
