mitosis
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| IMPORTANCE OF MITOSIS | 1) repairs damaged tissues 2)growth 3)development of organs |
| mitosis | indirect cell division where the offsprings are exactly the same as the parent cells |
| stages of the somatic cell life cycle | 1) interphase 2) mitosis |
| interphase | the cell is preparing itself to duplicate and divide |
| G1 | 1) cell grows and functions normally 2) high amounts of proteins are produced 3) more organelles are produced |
| S | DNA is replicated |
| G2 | 1) errors are being corrected 2)cell resumes its growth and development |
| Prophase | 1) nuclear membrane and nucleolus dissolves 2) chromosomes condense 3) centrioles appear 4) centrosomes move to opposite poles 5) spindle forms |
| Metaphase | 1) chromosomes align at the equatorial plate 2) spindle fibers link the chromatids of each chromosme to opposite poles |
| Anaphase | 1) spindle fibers shorten 2) chromatids are pulled toward opposite poles of the cell |
| Telophase | 1) 2 daughter cells are formed 2) nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappear 3) centrioles dissolve |
| Causes of Cancer | 1) genetics 2) UV Light 3) x-rays 4) uncontrollable cell growth 5) vices (smoking) 6) food and lifestyle 7) mutations 8) medical malproduction |
