Mitosis
Biology 9 - Chapter 8 - Mitosis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Binary Fission | Occurs only in prokaryotic cells, has one circular chromosome, then DNA is copied, cell elongates, chromosome separates and cell splits |
| Cell Cycle (in letters) | G1, S, G2, M (which includes IPMATC) |
| G1 | growth, increase in protein supply |
| S | DNA Duplicates |
| G2 | normal functions, prepares to divide, makes more organelles and proteins |
| Interphase | Cell grows, chromatin tightens |
| Prophase | mitotic spindle forms, centrosomes grow and move apart |
| Prometaphase | nuclear envelope broken, microtubules attach to kinnetochore |
| Metaphase | Each chromatid has own kinetochore microtubule, line up on metaphase plate |
| Anaphase | Chromatids separate, cell elongates |
| Telophase | mitotic spindle disappears, nuclear envelope forms, chromatin fiber uncoils |
| Cytokinesis | Cytoplasm splits |
| Animal Cytokinesis | Cleavage furrow is a ring of microfilaments in the cytoskeleton that contracts down the middle and splits cells |
| 3 Control Methods | anchorage dependance, density dependent inhibition, growth factors |
| Anchorage dependance | cells need a solid surface in order to divide |
| Density dependant inhibition | cells stop dividing once in contact with other cells |
| Growth factors | chemical protein signals released by cells causing nearby cells to divide |
