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
|
|

|
|
somatic cells
|
body cells, make up mostly everything
|

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
