Mitosis
Part C
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Explain Interphase? | There is 2 growth phases where the cell is growing and developing its organelles and one synthesis phase where the chromosomes replicate in the nucleus(double in number). |
| What are the 4 stages of MItosis? | Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and, Telophase |
| What happens in the Prophase? | Centrioles move to opposite poles. Nuclear envelope disapears. Chromatin coil up into chromosomes. 1st phase of mitosis |
| What happens in Metaphase? | Spindle fibres attact to the chromosomes VIA centromeres. |
| What happens in the Anaphase? | Spindle fibres retract and pull half of each chromosome to each centriole. Chromosomes are split into chromatids. |
| What happens in the Telophase? | Spindle fibres back in the centrioles. Neclear envelops starts to form back around each set of chromosomes (2 nuclei form). Chromosomes uncoil to become chromatins. |
| What are the first 2 cell checkpoints? | Checkpoint #1: Check for lack of nutrients to support growth(first growth phase) #2: Check if DNA strants have been replicated properly or damaged. (interphase) |
| What is the last cell checkpoint? | #3: Check if the chromosomes have attached themselves to spindle fibres (metaphase). |
| Cytokinesis | This is the last part of Mitosis. In this phase cell membrane pinches off in the middle and separates into 2 cells. |
| When does Apotosis happen and what happens? | Apotosis occurs when cells are too old to function. The cells self destruct themselves VIA lysosomes. |
| What are some traits of cancer cells? | Undergo mitosis unlimited times. Create tumors. Takes place of functioning cells and have no function. (stops valuable organs from doing their jobs). Cancer Cells Multiply |
| How do tumors form? | Tumors form when cancer cells divide and clump together literally forming lumps on the body. |
