7th Grade, Mitosis notes

        Help!  

Definiton
Term
Takes place/occurs in human body (somatic) cells; (these are every cell except the egg or sperm).   Mitosis  
🗑
Chromosomes multiply and divide when the cell reproduces, producing cells that are identical to parent cell cause there's no genetic information being exchanged or rearranged.   Asexual reproduction  
🗑
What happens when mutation occurs?   There will be a different or wrong cell being produced.  
🗑
Uncoiled strands of DNA   Chromatin  
🗑
coiled chromatin; contains genes   Chromosomes  
🗑
Segments of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a certain hereditary trait   Genes  
🗑
One part of a duplicated chromosome   Chromatid  
🗑
2 chromatids are attached by what?   Centromere  
🗑
Specialized DNA sequence of a chromosome that links with a pair of chromatids.   Centromere  
🗑
Chromosome pairs that are structurally similar and contain information for same genes; ( can have different expression of information on those genes)   Homologous pairs  
🗑
Each body cell has how many chromosomes?   46 chromosomes  
🗑
Contain all homologous pairs of chromosomes.   Diploid Cells  
🗑
Chromosomes (in the form of chromatin) and organelles replicate.   Interphase  
🗑
-Chromatin coils into chromosomes (hint: each chromosome now is made of 2 chromatids joined by a centromere) -nuclear membrane disappears -Spindle fibers form   Prophase  
🗑
Chromosomes move to the center of the cell( the equator)   Metaphase  
🗑
-Chromosomes divide and chromatids separate -Chromatids are pulled to opposite sides pulled by spindle fibers   Anaphase  
🗑
-Centrioles and spindle fibers disappear -Chromatids unwind back into chromatin -Nuclear membrane reforms -Cytoplasm starts to divide into 2 cells   Telophase  
🗑
-Cytoplasm in parent cell divides -there are now 2 daughter cells that have DNA identical to the parent cell   Cytokinesis  
🗑
Is Cell division a continuous cycle?   Yes  
🗑


   

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.
