order of the cell cycle?
G1, S, G2, M
what happens in the G1 phase?
cell carries out normal functions. cells increase in size, organelles increase in number. cell grows.
what happens in the S phase?
synthesis.. the combining of parts to make a whole. cell makes a copy of its nuclear DNA. genetic material is duplicated
G2 (gap 2)
cells continue normal functions and additional growth occurs. prepares to divide
Mitosis
mitosis- division of cell nucleas and concents
what is cytokinesis
process that divides cell cytoplasm
chromosome
one long continuous thread of DNA that consists of numerous genes along with regulatory information
chromatin
the loose combo of DNA and proteins
chromatid
one half of a duplicated chromosome
centromere
the thing that holds the chromosome together
prophase
chromatin condenses into chromosomes, nuclear envelope breaks down
metaphase
CHROMOSOMES ALIGN IN CENTER OF CELL
interphase
longest part of the cell cycle
cytokinesis
cell is cleaved into two new daughter pgones
telophase
daughter chromosomes arrive at the poles
cancer
a disease caused by disruption of cell cycle which leads to uncontrolled cell division and can lead to death
Benign
abornomal mass of essentially normal cells which reamin at their original site
malignant
mass of abnormal cells resulting from uncontrolled cancer cell division
metasis
spread of cancer cells beyond original site
carcinogen
substances known to produce or promote the development of cancer
somatic cells
body cells, make up mostly everything
gametes
sex cells
homologous chromosomes
two chromosomes that have the same length and general apperance
autosomes
chromosomes that contain genes for characteristics not directly related to sex of organism
sex chromosomes
directly control development of sexual characteristics
diploid
cells with two copies of each chromosomes
haploid
a cell that has only one copy of each chromosomes
meiosis
the production of gametes
whaat happens in meiosis
they go through mitosis twice kind of
sister chromatids
the two chromatids on a chromosomes
traits
distinguishing chracteristics that are inherited
homozygous
two of the same alleles at a specific locus
heterozygous
two diff allels at a specific locus
genotpe
Rr Pp Gg
phenotype
red, pink
recessive
covered up.. needs two to be shown
sex linked genes
genes that are located on the sex chromosome
incomplete dominance
hetero phenol is btween 2 homo pheno
mutation
change in an organisms DNA
mutagens
agents in the environment that can change Dna
