Cell Division Notes - Review

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Cell Division   Process by which a cell divides into 2 new cells  
🗑
Cells need to divide   Living things grow by producing more cells repair of damaged tissue If a cells gets too big, it can not get enough nutrients into the cell and waste out of the cell  
🗑
Parent Cell   The original cell; 2 new cells are called DAUGHTER cell.  
🗑
Before Cell Division occurs   The Cell copies (replicates) all of its DNA, so each daughter cell gets complete set of GENETIC INFORMATION from parent cell.  
🗑
Daughter Cell   Each daughter cell is EXACTLY like the parent cell - same kind and number of CHROMOSOMES as the original cell  
🗑
Unicellular Organisms   Reproduce by means of cell divisions- called ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION.  
🗑
DNA   Located in the NUCLEUS and controls all cell activities including cell division  
🗑
Chromatin   Long and thread-like DNA in a non dividing cell  
🗑
Chromosome   DOUBLED, COILED, short DNA in a dividing cell.  
🗑
Chromosome consist of two parts   Chromatid and Centromere  
🗑
DNA need to change from Chromatin to Chromosomes   More EFFICIENT division  
🗑
CENTROMERE   2 identical sister chromatids attached at an area in the middle  
🗑
Chromosome Number   Every organism (Human, Dog) has its own SPECIFIC NUMBER of chromosomes.  
🗑
Cell Cycle   Series of events cells go through as they GROW and DIVIDE  
🗑
Cell prepare for division   Cell GROWS, prepares for division, then DIVIDES to form 2 daughter cells - each of which then begins the cycle again.  
🗑
Interphase is divided into 3 phases   G1 - cells increase in size and synthesize new proteins and organelles S -synthesis of DNA (DNA replication) G2 - organelles and molecules required for cell division are produced.  
🗑
Somatic cells   an organism that have the SAME kind and NUMBER of chromosomes.  
🗑
Interphase   Period of cell GROWTH and DEVELOPMENT  
🗑
Occurs during Interphase   DNA COPY (replication) occurs during interphase The cell grows, carries out normal cell activities, replicates all other ORGANELLES Interphase is where the cell spends most of its lifecycle.  
🗑
Mitosis   Division of the nucleus into 2 nuclei, each with the same number of chromosomes  
🗑
Mitosis occurs   In ALL the SOMATIC (body) cells.  
🗑
Why does Mitosis occurs   So EACH new DAUGHTER cell has nucleus with a complete set of chromosomes.  
🗑
4 phases of nuclear Division (mitosis), directed by the cell's DNA (PMAT)   1) Prophase 2) Anaphase 3) Metaphase 4Telophase  
🗑
Cell Cycle   When cell become old or damaged, they die and are replaced with NEW cells.  
🗑
Cell Division Control   DNA Controls ALL cell activities including cell division.  
🗑
Cells loose control   Loose the ability to control their rate of cell division - the DNA of these cells has become damaged or changed (mutated)  
🗑
Tumors   Super- dividing cells form masses  
🗑
Cytokinesis   the DIVISION of the rest of the cell (CYTOPLASM and ORGANELLES) after the nucleus divides.  
🗑
Animal Cell   the CYTOPLASM pinches in  
🗑
Plant Cell   a CELL PLATE forms  
🗑
After mitosis and cytokinesis   The cell returns to INTERPHASE to continue to grow and perform regular cell activities  
🗑
Benign Tumors   are not cancerous - these cell do not spread to other parts of the body.  
🗑
Malignant Tumors   are cancerous - these cells break loose and can invade and destroy healthy tissue in other parts of the body called metastasis  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
