Cell Growth Review
Cell Growth, Mitosis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| division of the nucleus ; P-M-A-T | mitosis |
| reproduction that leads to genetically identical cells | asexual reproduction |
| reproduction that leads to genetically different cells | sexual reproduction |
| means 2 copies of chromosomes | diploid |
| means 1 copy of chromosomes | haploid |
| aka body cells | somatic cells |
| aka reproductive cells (egg and sperm) | sex cells |
| diploid number in humans | 46 |
| haploid number in humans | 23 |
| self-programmed cell death | apoptosis |
| 90-95% of cell cycle ; G1, S, G2 | Interphase |
| cell growth during cell cycle | G1 and G2 phase |
| DNA gets copied/synthesized | S phase |
| division of the cytoplasm | cytokinesis |
| uncontrolled cell growth and division | cancer (form tumors) |
| stem cells that can become nearly an cell in the body (plueripotent) ; illegal in US | embryonic stem cells |
| stem cells that can only become cells of a certain type (multipotent) | adult stem cells |
| chromosomes condense and look like "X"s | prophase |
| chromosomes line up in the center of cell | metaphase |
| chromosomes split and chromatids move to opposite sides of cell | anaphase |
| cell has 2 nuclei but has not split yet (cleavage furrow or cell plate visible) | telophase |
| levels of biological organization | cells --> tissues --> organs --> organ systems --> organism |
| all cells come from other cells, living things have at least 1 cell, cell are basic unit of life | cell theory |
| this holds 2 sister chromatids together in the center | centromere |
