Living organisms reproduce by two methods
-Asexual reproduction
-Sexual reproduction

Prophase in the nucleus,
-chromosomes coil and become compact

In prometaphase,
-spindle microtubules reach chromosomes
-other microtubules meet those from the opposite poles
-the nuclear envelope disappears
In prometaphase, when spindcle microtubles reach chromosomes, they
-attach at kinetochores on the centromeres of sister chromatids
-move chromosomes to the center of the cell through associated protein motors
In metaphase,
-spindle is fully formed
-chromosomes align at the cell equator
-kinetochores of sister chromatids are facing the opposite poles of the spindle
By end of metaphase,
how many chromosomes are present in one human cell?
how many chromatids are present in one human cell?
46
92
In anaphase,
-sister chromatids seperate at the centromeres
-daughter chromosomes are moved to opposite poles of the cell
-kinetochore microtubules are shorten
-the cell elongates due to lenghtening of nonkinetochore microtubules
By the end of Anaphase,
how many chromosomes are present in one human cell?
how many chromatids are?
92
?
In telophase,
-the cell continues to elongate
-the nuclear envelope forms around chromosomes at each pole, establishing daughter nuclei
-chromatin uncoils
-nucleoli reappear
-the spindle disappears
By the end of telophase,
-how many chromosomes are present in one nucleus wihtin the human cell?
-are the nuclei identical or different?
46
?
In cytokenesis,
-cytoplasm is divided into seperate cells
By the end of cytokinesis,
how many chromsomes are present in one human cell?
-how many chromatids are present in one human cell?

Cytokinesis in animal cells
- a cleave furrow forms from a contracting ring of microfilaments, interacting with myosin
-the cleavage furrow deepends to separate the contents into two cells
Cytokinesis in plant cells
-a cell plate forms in the middle from vesicles containing cell wall material
-the cell plate gows outward to reach the edges, dividing the contents into two cells
-each cell has a plasma membrane and cell wall
Factors that affect cell division
-presence of essential nutrients
-growth factors, proteins that stimulate division
-presence of other cells causes density-dependent inhibition
-contact with a solid surface; most cells show anchorage dependence
_ escape controls on the cell cycle
cancer cells
cancer cells divide rapidly, often in the ansence of _
growth factors
cancer cells spread to other tissues thorugh the
circulatory system
growth is not inhibited by other cells and _ form
tumors
_ remain at the original site
benign tumors
_ spread to otherlocations by metastasis
malignent tumors
locatized tumors can be treated with _
surgery or radiation
_ is used for metastaic tumors
chemotherapy
_ is a process that converts diploid nuclei to haploid nuclei
