Unit 6: Cell Divisio

Biology study set for TVMSC

QuestionAnswer
What are the reasons for cell division? Growth, Repair, Regeneration, Replacement, and Reproduction(asexual) (GRRRR)
What are the similarities and differences between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cell divison? Prokaryotes use mitosis to reproduce and Eukaryotes use mitosis to repair and regenartion.
What is happening to the chromosones at Interphase? They are duplicating and preparing to divide.
What is happening to the chromosones at G1 in terms of numbers, where they are, and what they look like? They are in the form of chromatin and just starting to condense.
What is happening to the chromosones at S in terms of numbers, where they are, and what they look like? Chromosones are duplicated in preparation for division.
What is happening to the chromosones at G2 in terms of numbers, where they are, and what they look like? They are preparing for cell division. The cell will grow a little more.
What is the relationship between the cell cycle and cancer? Cancer cells move go rouge and move through Interphase and Mitosis very quickly. Meaning that they make lots of cells wich eventually turn into tumors
What are the stages of mitosis and the organelles involved in each phase? Phrophase: Nuclear Membrane, Replicated Chromone Metaphase: Spindle Fibers, Centriole Anaphase: spindle fiber, cetnriole, sister chromatids Telophase: nuclear membranes, sister chromatids
What is a gene? A part of a chromosone that codes for a trait.
What is a DNA molecule? What chromatin is made up of.
What is a chromosone? An organized DNA molecule.
What is a chromatid? Strannds of DNA molecules that have not yet been condensed.
What is a centromere? The thing in the middle of the chromosone that holds the sister chromatids together.
What are sister chromatids? The sides of the X on a chromosone.
What is happening to the chromosones during Mitosis? They are being split apart by the spindle fibers and getting placed in each cell.
What is happening to the chromosones in prophase in terms of numbers, where they are, and what they look like? The chromosones on in the nuclear membrane.
What is happening to the chromosones in metaphase in terms of numbers, where they are, and what they look like? The chromosones line up in the middle and the spindle fibers latch on. The membrane disinigrates.
What is happening to the chromosones in anaphase in terms of numbers, where they are, and what they look like? The Chromosones are pulled apart by the spindle fibers.
What is happening to the chromosones in telophase in terms of numbers, where they are, and what they look like? The nuclear membrane reforms around the sister chromatids.
What is happening to the chromosones during Cytokinesis? The cytoplasm splits, creating two cells.
What is the effect that mitosis has on chromosone number at each phase of mitosis?
What cells are created during mitosis and how do they relate to their parent cell in structure and function? Diploid cells. They are identical copies of the parent cell.
What is Nondisjunction? 1 more chromosone or 1 less chromosone.
What is the cause of the genetic disorders presented in class? Williams: Chromosone 7 Cri-du-chat: Deletion of chromososne 5 Down Syndrome: Trisomy 21 Patau Syndrome: Trisomy 13 Edwards Syndrome: Trisomy 18
What is a karyotype? A picture of all DNA lined up in pairs by size.
What are karyotypes used for? To find problems with the DNA
How can you identify the human chromosomal numbers assoiated with normal meiosis as seen in a karyotype?
What are the diferences and benefits of sexual and asexual reproduction? Benifits of sexual reproduction include increases variation in population, increases survival of species. Cost includes Energy and Time.
What is the process of meiosis? 1 diploid cell goes in and 4 unique haploid cells come out; the phases are early prophase 1, late prophase 1, metaphase 1, anaphase 1, anaphase 2, metaphase 2, telophase 1 and 2
Why does the cell undergoe the process of meiosis? To make a new unique life form.
What are the events that occur in each phase of meiosis? Use the words Homologous chromosone, sister chromatid, and tetrad
What is a homologous chromosone?
What are autosomes? Chromosones 1-22.
What are sex chromosones? The chromosones that determine the sex of a person
What are tetrads? When homologous chromosones bind during late phrophase 1 of meiosis. This is when crossing over occurs.
What is crossing over? Croosing over is when homologous chromosones swap DNA. This helps to create diversity and variation.
How many chromosones are found at each stage of meiosis? In each stage do you have a haploid or diploid cell?
What is a haploid cell? What is an example? A haploid cell is a cell with only half the DNA. Cells created in Meiosis are haploid.
What is a diploid cell? What is an example? A diploid cell is a cell with full DNA. Cells created in Mitosis are diploid.
What is the role of meiosis in creating variation within a population? It creates 4 random, unique cells wich creates diversification.
What is Genetic Recombination? Through sexual reproduction the DNA is shuffled and recombined in a new way with every organism.
What is Random Assortment? Some father cells line up on one side and some on the other and the same with mother cells. It is all random.
What are mutations? Not necessary, but does happen and increases variation that never existed before.
What is sexual reproduction and how does it contribute to an increased genetic variation?. Sexual reproduction helps to increase genetic variation because DNA is shuffles and recombined in each organism.
