Unit 4 Cell Cycle Learning Statements

        Help!  

Term
Definition
Cell Cycle   purpose or the end result is to create two identical cells, aka cell division; composed of three main parts; interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis  
🗑
Mitosis   divided into Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase  
🗑
Prophase   phase of mitosis when nuclear membrane disappears and the DNA coils up tightly from chromatin to form chromosomes  
🗑
Metaphase   phase of mitosis when chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell along the equator with spindle fibers attached  
🗑
Anaphase   phase of mitosis when spindle fibers from centrioles begin to split chromosomes to opposite sides of the cell  
🗑
Telophase   phase of mitosis when chromosomes have moves to opposite sides of the cell and the nuclear membranes begin to develop; animal cells form a cleavage furrow while plant cells form a cell plate  
🗑
Cell Cycle Checkpoints   checks for damaged DNA to ensure two healthy daughter cells at the end; found between G1, G2, and between metaphase and anaphase  
🗑
Interphase   part of the cell cycle; divided into G1, S, and G2  
🗑
G1 Phase   portion of interphase when all organelles and cytoplasm, except the nucleus, replicates  
🗑
S Phase   portion of interphase which replicates DNA; synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid to create two identical copies  
🗑
G2 Phase   portion of interphase where the replication of DNA is checked for mistakes  
🗑
Cytokinesis   part of the cell cycle where the cytoplasm and organelles divide into the newly created daughter cells  
🗑
Cancer   unregulated cell division which causes cells to divide too quickly and produces tumors; repeats the cell cycle continuously  
🗑
Cancer Fighting Drugs   attempt to prevent cell divisions of damaged cells  
🗑
DNA Nucleotide Sequence   order of the nitrogen bases which determines the differences in the traits of organisms  
🗑
DNA Nucleotide Sequence   determines the order of amino acids which creates proteins  
🗑
DNA Base Pairing   adenine = thymine ; cytosine=guanine  
🗑
Deoxyribonucleic Acid   carries the instructions for making proteins in the sequence of the nucleotides ; double helix or twisted ladder shape  
🗑
Proteins   made up of amino acids; necessary for the growth and function of organisms  
🗑
Nucleic Acids   RNA and DNA; made up of CHONP - Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus  
🗑
Nucleic Acids   made up of nucleotides  
🗑
Nucleotide   small piece of a nucleic acid; made up of a sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen base; only difference among the nucleotides is the nitrogen base  
🗑
DNA Replication   1. requires separation between the nitrogen bases of the double-stranded nucleic acid by breaking hydrogen bonds 2. free nucleotides match base pairs to open up double helix ; A=T, C=G 3. creates two DNA molecules with one side being the original strand and one strand being the new strand aka semi-conservative replication  
🗑
DNA   stores information in the form of a code that is necessary for life  
🗑
Enzymes   type of protein used to speed up the rate of chemical reactions in the body  
🗑


   

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.
