| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is G1? | Growth one, cell increase in size, cell makes more proteins, cell makes more organelles |
| What is S? | Synthesis, DNA is duplicated and held in place by the centromere. |
| What is G2? | Growth 2, extra proteins are made for mitosis. |
| What is Chromatin? | Found in interphase, made of DNA, uncondensed |
| What are chromatids? | During interphase they are uncondensed, prophase they become condensed. |
| What are chromosomes? | When chromatids split during anaphase. |
| What is an aster composed of? | Microtubules and centrosomes. |
| What is a centromere? | Protein fibers that become the spindle fibers. |
| What is a kinetochore? | When spindle fibers find each side of the poles they become kinetochore and pull apart chromatids. |
| The fibers that extend from pole to pole are? | Polar microtubules. |
| The fibers that extend halfway are called? | Kinetochore microtubules. |
| A reproductive cell after meiosis has a haploid or diploid number of chromosomes? | Haploid, half |
| Fertilization restores the haploid or diploid number of chromosomes? | Diploid. |
| What is binary fission? | The division of prokaryotic cells. |
| What happens in binary fission? | One chromosome attaches to the plasma membrane and duplicates. After replication the original chromosome and its duplicate are attached at 2 separate points on the plasma membrane. As the cell grows the plasma membrane breaks in two. |
| What are the 4 phases of mitosis? | Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase |
| What happens in prophase? | Nucleus begins to disintegrate. Nucleolus disappears. |
| What happens in metaphase? | Spindle apparatus is completed. Chromatids are lined up along the equator of the spindle. |
| What happens in anaphase? | Chromatids split into chromosomes. Each chromosome moves to opposite poles of the spindle. |
| What happens in telophase? | Nucleus reforms in each new cell. Chromosomes become chromatin. |
| What is cancer? | Cells that have an abnormal cellular division, they grow, take up space and nutrients and then metastasize to other parts of the body. |
| Synapsis is? | 2 sister chromatids come together. |
| Crossing over is? | The exchange of genes. |
| Chiasma is? | Where the chromatids are crossed over. |
| Spermatogonium | Growth 1 Interphase. Diploid; unduplicated. 46 chromatin. |
| Primary spermatocyte | Diploid duplicated. Synthesis. 46 chromatid pairs. |
| Secondary spermatocytes | End of meiosis 1 (2 cells) haploid duplicated |
| Spermatids | End of meiosis 2, matures into sperm. 4 functional cells, haploid unduplicated |
| Oogonium | Growth 1 Interphase. Diploid; unduplicated 46 chromatin |
| Primary oocyte | Diploid duplicated |
| Secondary oocyte and 1 polar body | End of meiosis 1, haploid duplicated |
| Ovum and 4 polar bodies | End of meiosis 2 (4 cells) haploid; unduplicated |
