Ch 11 Mitosis/cycle

Pearson Biology Chapter 11 Vocab - Cell Growth, Division, and Reproduction

TermDefinition
cell division process in which a cell divides into two new identical daughter cells
asexual reproduction process of reproduction with a single parent that results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent one parent cell makes two identical, diploid cells with the same # of chromosomes as the parent cell Mitosis in body/somatic cells
sexual reproduction type of reproduction in which cells from two parents unite to form the first cell of a new organism two parents make 4 non-identical, haploid daughter cells at the end of Meiosis II Meiosis
chromosome threadlike structure within the nucleus that contains genetic information that is passed on from one generation to the next
chromatin substance found in eukaryotic chromosomes that consists of DNA tightly coiled around histones
cell cycle series of events in which a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells
interphase the longest period of the cell cycle, where the stages G1, S, and G2 take place
mitosis part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides
cytokinesis division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells
G1 phase Cell Grows in size and makes new organelles
S phase DNA Replication
G2 phase Preparing for Cell Division
M phase Cell Division
I P M A T C Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Cytokinesis
prophase first and longest phase of mitosis in which the genetic material inside the nucleus condenses and the chromosomes become visible
metaphase phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
anaphase phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell
telophase phase of mitosis in which the distinct individual chromosomes begin to spread out into a tangle of chromatin
chromatid one of two identical “sister” parts of a duplicated chromosome
centromere region of a chromosome where the two sister chromatids attach
centriole structure in an animal cell that helps to organize cell division
growth factor one of a group of external regulatory proteins that stimulate the growth and division of cells
cyclin one of a family of proteins that regulates the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells
apoptosis the process of programmed cell death
cancer disorder in which some of the body’s cells lose the ability to control growth
tumor mass of rapidly dividing cells that can damage surrounding tissue
embryo developing stage of a multicellular organism
differentiation process in which cells become specialized in structure and function
totipotent stem cells cells that are able to develop into ANY TYPE of cell found in the body These MUST come from a zygote
blastocyst stage of early development in mammals that consists of a hollow ball of cells
pluripotent stem cells cells that are capable of developing into most, but not all, of the body’s cell types These must come from an embryo
stem cell unspecialized cell that can give rise to one or more types of specialized cells
multipotent stem cells cell with limited potential to develop into a certain type of cell within a tissue These come from an adult body cell
MITosis Make it two Remember two identical, diploid daughter cells
cyto- cell
toti- entirely
Ethical questions about stem cell usage in medical research The medical research involves people's opinions about what is considered life and death. Especially when it comes to an embryo/fetus.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
