|
GENES
|
CONTAIN THE INFORMATION THAT IS NEEDED TO BUILD THE CELLS AND CELL PRODUCTS.
|
|
|
CELL DIVISION (FISSION)
|
OCCURS WHEN ONE CELL (PARENT CELL) DIVIDES TO PRODUCE TWO NEW CELLS (DAUGHTER CELLS)
|
|
|
MITOSIS
|
THE EQUAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE PARENT CELL'S GENES BETWEEN THE TWO NEW DAUGHTER CELLS
|
|
|
CYTOKINESIS
|
THE DIVISION OF THE PARENT CELL'S CYTOPLASM AFTER MITOSIS IS FINISHED.. PROVIDES EACH DAUGHTER CELL WITH SOME CYTOPLASM AND ORGANELLES.
|
|
|
INTERPHASE
|
THE STAGE BEFORE A CELL DIVIDES - IT MAKES A COPY OF EVERY ONE OF ITS GENES
|
|
|
PROPHASE
|
MEMBRANE AROUND NUCLEUS DISAPPEARS. CHROMOSOMES BEGIN TO COIL UP.SISTER CHROMATIDS ARE ATTACHED AT ONE POINT , APPEAR AS X SHAPED.
|
|
|
METAPHASE
|
CHROMOSOMES ARE LINED UP AT THE CENTER OF SPINDLE.
|
|
|
ANAPHASE
|
EACH PAIR OF SISTER CHROMATIDS OF ONE X SHAPED CHROMOSOME SEPARATE AND MOVE TO OPPOSITE ENDS
|
|
|
TELOPHASE
|
NEW CHROMOSOMES REACH END OF SPINDLE AND UNCOIL. NEW NUCLEAR MEMBRANES FORM
|
|
|
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
|
REPRODUCTION BY MITOTIC CELL DIVISION
|
|
|
BUDDING
|
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION IN YEAST. A SMALL BULGE ON THE SIDE OF THE CELL.
|
|
|
REGENERATION
|
PROCESS OF REGROWING MISSING BODY PARTS THROUGH CELL DIVISION.
|
|
|
SPORE
|
A CELL SLURROUNDED BY A PROTECTIVE COVERING
|
|
|
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
|
WHEN TWO ORGANISMS EACH GIVE A COMPLETE COPY OF THEIR GENES TO FORM A NEW ORGANISM
|
|
|
MEIOSIS
|
IN SEXUAL REPRODUCTION, THE GENETIC MATERIAL IS DOUBLED AND THEN SEPARATED INTO SINGLE COPIES
|
|
|
NUCLEOTIDE
|
THE BASIC STRUCTURAL UNIT OF DNA AND RNA; CONTAINS A SUGAR, PHOSPHATE, AND A BASE
|
|
|
CODON
|
A SEQUENCE OF THREE NUCLEOTIDES IN A DNA MOLECULE; EACH CODON IDENTIFIES AN AMINO ACID TO BE USED IN THE PROTIN CODED FOR BY THE DNA
|
|
|
4 BASES
|
ADENINE, THYMINE, CYLTOSINE, GUANINE
|
|
|
REPLICATION
|
THE PROCESS BY WHICH ONE DNA MOLECULE FORMS TWO DNA MOLECULES
|
|
|
TRANSCRIPTION
|
THE PROCESS OF MAKING A MESSENGER RNA
|
|
|
PROTEIN SYNTHESIS
|
THE MANUFACTURING OF PROTEINS INSIDE A CELL
|
|
|
TRANSFER RNA
|
THE RNA MOLECULE THAT TRANSFERS AMINO ACIDS TO THE MESSENGER RNA
|
