| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what relies on cell division ? | growth and reproduction |
| Offprings produced by asexual parents are | identical to the parent |
| What series of events maintains growth and the number of cells in the bodies of multi-cellular organisms ? | Cell cycle |
| 2 parts of the cell cycle | Interphase and Division phase |
| Division (cell cycle) | mitosis and cytokinesis |
| Mitosis | equal distribution of nuclear contents (chromosomes) to both daughter cells |
| Interphase (3 stages) | gap 1, synthesis, gap 2 |
| gap 1 | time of rapid growth |
| synthesis | duplication of chromosomes (necessary for future divisions) |
| gap 2 | another period of growth, preparation for future division |
| chromosomes contain | DNA and proteins |
| Chromatin | combination of DNA and proteins |
| centromere | attaches the original chromosome to its duplicate |
| sister chromatid | genetically identical chromosomes , that are attached |
| stages of mitosis | prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase |
| Prophase (mitosis) | first stage of mitosis, Chromosomes become visible. |
| Centrioles | animal cell organelle, moves to opposite poles in division. attaches to spindle fibers |
| Spindle fibers | act as guide wires, attach and move chromosomes |
| spindle apparatus | formed by the centrioles and spindle fibers |
| Metaphase (mitosis) | duplicated chromosomes move to the equatorial plate (center of cell) |
| Anaphase (mitosis) | centromeres divide and sister chromatids move to opposite poles of the cell |
| Telophase (mitosis) | Chromosomes have reached opposite poles, spindle fibers dissolve and nuclear membrane form around each set of chromosomes |
| cleavage furrow | animal cell, cytokinesis - end of division |
| cell clock | predestined number that cells will divide, number will always be the same |
| cells that divide endlessly | spermatogonia and cancer cells |
| metastasis | cancer cells break off from tumors, get into lymph fluid , and they can divide and create a tumor in another part of the body |
