| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cellular Organization of the GEnetic Material | Genome, Chromosomes, somantic cells, gametes, chromatin, sister chromatids, centromere... etc. |
| Genome | All the DNA in a cell constitutes the cell's |
| DNA molecules ina cell are packaged into | Chromosomes |
| Somantic cells | (nonreproductive have two sets of chromosomes |
| Gametes | (reproductive cells) have half as many chromosomes as somatic cells |
| Eukaryotic chromosomes consist of chromatin | a complex DNA and protein that condenses during cell division |
| sister chromatids | seperate during cell division |
| centromere | is the narrow "waist" of the duplicated chromosomes |
| Eukaryotic cell division consist of | Mitosis, the division of the nucleus Cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm |
| interphase can be divided into subphases | G1, S, and G2 (1st gap, synthesis, second gap) |
| Chromosome replication only happens in | the S Phase |
| mitosis is divided into five phases (in order) | Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase (cytokenisis) |
| Mitotic spindle | an apparatus of microtubules that controls chromosom movement during mitosis. |
| Centrosome | the microtuble orginizing center, where spindle's come from. they replicate and go to polar parts of cell |
| Aster | (a radial array of short microtubules. |
| metaphase plate | a midway point between the spindles two points |
| Cleavage | cytokineses in animals, by forming a cleavage furrow |
| Cell plate | cytikinesis in plants. |
| binary fission | Prokaryotic reproduction. the chromosomes replicate and the two daughter chromosomes actively move apart |
| Cell Cycle Control System | regulated by both internal and external controls. |
| checkponts | where the cycle stops until it gets another go ahead signal |
| growth factors | proteins released by certain cells stimulate other cells to divide |
| density dependent inhibtion | stop growth in crowded situations |
| anchorage dependence | must be attached to a substratum too divide |
