What is chromatin?
DNA in the nucleus ost of the cells life, thread like, a jumbled mass (all jumbled in a *tin*)
What is chromatid?
tight condensed coils made of chromatins (loopy "d" is like a coil)
What is a chromosome?
two identical chromatids joind (in and x) by a centromere
what are the stages of mitosis?
prophase, metephase, anaphase, and telophase
What happens during prophase?
thread like chromatins condense and coil into chromatids in the nucleus, and the nucluar membrane starts dissolving
What happens during metephase? what does met mean?
met = middle
the chromosomes align along the middle of the cell on an imaganary equater.
What hapens during anaphase?
The chromasomes begin seperating and attach to spindle fibers that come out of the north and south poles of the cell (form v shapes on the ends of the spidle fiber)
What happens during telephase?
The chromosomes continue to seperate and start moving to oposite poles of the cell, the cromatids unwind into cromatins, and the nuclear membrane start to form
What happens during cytokinesis?
the cytoplasm divides and distributes the organells evenly into the two daughter cells.
cytokinesis occers __________ with telephase.
simultaneously
each daugter cell ends with ______ amount of chromasomes as the parent cell
the same
cytokinesis occers diffrently in each type of cell what happen to Animal cells?
Cell membran squeezes together in the middle and pinches together`
cytokinesis occers diffrently in each type of cell what happen to Plant cells?
cell plate gradually developes into cell membrane then the cell wall between the cell
cytokinesis occers diffrently in each type of cell what in budding?
yeast daugter cells "bud" off of the parent cell and grow into full-sized cells
What is the length of the cell cycle?
it depends on the type of cell
What is caused when the cell cycle goes wrong?
cancer
What are Homologouse chromosomes?
two chromasomes with the exact same genes, but different variations of the genes ( eg. one has blue eyes brown hair, the other has green eyes red hair)
What are sister chromatids?
Sister chromatids are two identical copies of a single chromosome that are connected by a centromere. (same as a chromosome)
What is crossing over?
Asection from each homologouse chromosomes exchange with the corresponding section (ei. red hair and brown hair change places)
when can crossing over occer?
Prophase 1
