| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Genome | Cell's genetic information. |
| Somatic Cells | Body cells. |
| Gametes. | Sperm and egg cells. |
| Chromosomes | DNA molecules |
| Diploid | [2n] 2 sets of chromosomes. |
| Haploid | [1n] 1 set of chromosomes. |
| Chromatin | DNA-protein complex. |
| Chromatids | Replicated strands of a chromosome. |
| Centromere | Narrowing waits of sister chromatids. |
| Mitosis | Nuclear division. |
| Cytokinesis | Cytoplasm Division. |
| Meiosis | Gamete cell division. |
| How long is interphase? | 90% of the cycle. |
| G1 Phase | Growth phase 1. Time for a cell to do the cell's job. |
| S Phase | Synthesis of DNA |
| G2 Phase | Growth phase 2. Preparation for cell division. Time for a cell to be a cell. |
| Mitotic Phase | Mitosis in 5 stages. Cytokinesis [division of cytoplasm] |
| What are the stages in mitosis? | Prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. |
| Prophase | Chromosomes are visible. Nucleoli disappear. Mitotic spindle forms. Centrosomes move. |
| Prometaphase | Nuclear membrane fragments. Spindle interacts with chromosomes. Kinetochere develops. |
| Metaphase | Centrosomes are at opposite ends of the cells. Centromeres are aligned. Kinetocheres of sister chromatids attached to microtubules. |
| Anaphase | Paired centromeres separate. Chromosomes move to opposite poles. Each pole has a set of chromosomes. |
| Telophase | Daughter nuclei form. Nuclear envelope forms. 2 new nuclei complete mitosis. |
| Cytokinesis | Cytoplasmic division. Cleave furrows. |
| Anchorage Dependence | Cells anchor to cover the surface forming a single layer. |
| Density-dependent Inhibition | If some cells are scraped away, the remaining cells fill the gap. |
| Metastasis | Spreading of cancerous cells / tissue. |
