cell cycle
the cell growth and DNA replication occur in what phase?

How are the events of a cell regulated?
by interal and external controls
what checkpoint of the cell cycle is the most important?
completes the S, G2, M phases and divide all during the first checkpoint phase of G1
During what phase does
-most cells in any organism occur in this stage

interphase
What 5 stages occur under mitosis (m-phase)?
-prophase
-prometaphase
-metaphase
-anaphase
-telophase
what is prophase? (3)
-DNA is beginning to condense
-nuclear membrane begins to break down
-spindle begins to form
what is the process of prometaphase?
-the chromosomes are connected to the spindle microtubles at thier centromere
-the nuclear membrane, ER and golgi finish breaking down
what is the metaphase?
the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell
(because of "tug-a-war" by the microtubules)
what is anaphase?
the centomeres seperate and the sister chromatids (each still considered as a chromosome) move toward the opposite poles
what is a telophase?
-the chromosomes begin to unravel
-the nuclear envelope begins to re-form
what occurs in the cytokinesis phase?
the cytoplasm seperates
what is involved in the interphase? (5 things)
-centrosomes (with centriole pairs)
-chromatin (duplicated)
-nucleolus
-nuclear envelope
-plasma membrane
what is involved in the prophase? (3)
-early mitotic spindle
-centromere
-chromosome(consisting of 2 sister chromatids)
what is involved in the prometaphase? (2)
-fragments of nuclear envelope
-microtubules
what is involved in the metaphase? (3)
-metaphase plate
-spindle
-1 centrosome at one spindle pole
what is in the anaphase? (1)
daughter chromosomes
what is involved in the telophase and cytokinesis?
-cleavage furrow
-nucleolus forming
-neclear envelope forming
what type of cell does this cytokinesis exsist in...
a ring of microfilaments contract until the cell is pinched into two (called the cleavage furrow)?
animal cells
what type of cell does this cytokinesis exsist in...
cell plate forms between the two cells (eventually forms a cell wall)?
in plant cells
what is a form of cell division that leads to the production of gametes?
meiosis
what are gametes?
-egg and sperm cells
-contain half the number of chromosomes of an adult body cell
what does haploid cells mean?
-one set of chromosomes
-from meiosis
-cell= (n)
what are somatic cells?
-two sets of chromosomes
-from mitosis
-the cells are diploid (2n)
what are two forms of cell division?
asexual (mitosis)
sexual (fertilization after meiosis)
what is asexual cell division?
-daughter cells are identical copies of the mother cell (clones)
-occurs in all organisms
what is sexual cell division?
-daughter cells are not identical copies of the mothers cells
-only occurs in eukaryotes
what cell division occurs in only eukaryotes?
sexual
what type of cell division forms haploid gametes from diploid body cells?
meiosis
what word is greek meaning "to make small"?
meiosis
how is sexual reproduction completed?
the fusion of gametes (fertilization) to produce a diploid zygote
life cycles of sexually reproducing organisms involve what? (2)
-the alternation of haploid and
-diploid stages
to go from diploid to haploid stages what must a cell go through?
meiosis
what is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?
-(photophase 1)- homologous chromosomes line up (and genetic information is exchanged)
-(After) cytokinesis I, the resulting cells are now haploid but have doubled chromosomes
what is the first stage of meiosis prophase I?
chromosomes coil and nuclear envelope dissolves
what is the second stage of meiosis prophase I?
homologues become closey associated in synapsis
what happens in the third stage of meiosis prophase I?
crossing over occurs between non-sister chromatids
what happens in 1st stage of the meiosis metaphase I?
terminal chiasmata hold homologues together following cross over
what happens in 2nd stage of the meiosis metaphase I?
microtubules from opposite poles attach to each homologue (not the sister chromatid)
what happens in 3rd stage of the meiosis metaphase I?
homologues are aligned at the metaphase plate side-by-side
mitosis is after meiosis 1- true or false?
true

chiasmata hold homologues together. the kinetochores of sister chromatids fuse and function as one. microtublues can attach to only one side of each centromere... ?
-(meiosis I)
