Milotic Phase M
|
the contents of the nucleus (mainly the duplicated chromosomes) are evenly distributed to two daughter nuclei, and the cytoplasm divides into 2
|
|
S phase
|
DNA synthesis occurs in S phase. At the beginning of the phase, each chromosome is single. At the end of the phase each chromosome consists of 2 sister chromatids
|
|
interphase
|
This accounts for 90% of the cell cycle. it is a time of high metabolic activity. the cell grows by producing proteins and organelles, and chromosomes are replicated
|
|
Mitosis
|
cell division of the nucleus occurs. the chromosomes that have been replicated are distributed to two daughter nuclei
|
|
G2
|
G2 is a phase of metabolic activity and growth. during this phase the cell makes its final preparations for division.
|
|
G1
|
the cell grows by producing proteins and organelles
|
|
Cytokinesis
|
cytoplasm divides into two
|
|
Prophase
|
The centrosomes move away from each other and the nuclear envelopes breaks up
|
|
Metaphase
|
the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell
|
|
Anaphase
|
sister chromatids separate and begin moving towards opposite poles of the cell
|
|
Telophase
|
the chromosome arrives at the poles and nuclear envelope
|
|
Cytokinesis
|
At the end of mitotic M phase, the cytoplasm divides
|
|
genetics
|
study of physical inheritance among living things
|
|
Chromosomes
|
structural unit containing art or all of an organis's genome, consisting of DNA and its associated proteins (chromatin). the human genome is made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes, or 46 chromosomes in all
|
|
Chromatin
|
a molecular complex, composed of DNA and associated proteins, that makes up the chromosomes of eukaryotic organisms
|
|
chromatid
|
one of the two identical strands of chromatin (DNA plus associated proteins) that make up a chromosome in its duplicated state
|
|
homologous chromosmes
|
chromosomes that are the same in function and hence size. species that are diploid (have two sets of chromosomes) have matching paris of homologous chromosomes; one member of each homologous pari is inherited from one male, the second member of each homologous pair is inherited from the female.
|
|
karyotype
|
a pictorial arrangement of a full set of an organism's chromosomes
|
|
binary fission
|
1. bacterial cell starts with a single, circular chromosome. 2. the chromosome replicates and the daughter chromosomes attach to different sites on the plasma membrane. 3. cell membrane and wall grow an extension between the attachment points of the two chromosomes. 4. the cell wall and membrane join together in the middle, resulting in two new cells.
