Why do cells divide
the cell gets to big
reproduction
to make more cells growth
repair damage
because signal
what is the cell cycle
the sequence of growth and divison of a cell
what is cell division
the process by which new cells are produced from one cell results in two cells identical to the parent or origional cell
interphase
normal growth of the cell
longest part of the cells life
gi
the chrosomomes are not visible normal cell growth
s
chrosomes are synthesized sister chromatids are connected by a centromere
g2
the cell prepares for mitosis organelles replicate
more growth
mitosis
nuclear division
prophase
nuclear membrane disappears
spindle fibers form
centrioles migrate
metaphase
spindle attaches to centromeres
anaphase
apart
spindles shorten
telophase
cleveage
nucleus back
spindles gone
cytokinesis
cytoplasmic division
what happens during division of the cell wall with plant cells
a cell plate forms
reproduction
the process by which an organism produces other of its same king
asexual reproduction
a new organism is produced from the same organism
clone
the new organism has the same genetic material as the orgional organism
prokaryotic organisms
reproduce asexually via fusion (they dont have a nucleus)
eukaryotic organism
reproduce asexually via mitosis
ho do plants reproduce asexually
budding
regeneration
sexual reproduction
when two gametes come together to produce a new organism
gametes
sex cell
what are the two types of sex cells (gametes0
male sperm
female egg
fertilization
the joining of an egg and a sperm
zygote
the cell that forms when a egg and sperm come together
diploid cells
cells with two pairs of similiar chromosomes
they have two set of instructions one from mom and one from dad
what cell are diploid cells
all body cells
how many many chromosomes are in body cells
46 (23 from each parent)
23 from mom 23 from dad
homologous chrososomes
paired chrosomes that contain the genes for the same trait
ex mom had blue eyes and dad has blue eyes
haploid cells
cells with single chromosomes half the number of diploid cells
a cell with one of each chromosome
haploid cells contain how many chromosomes
23 no pairs one set of instructions for each trait
meiosis
cell division that produces half the number of chromosomes as a parent's cell
where does meiosis occur
only in sex cells
how many nucleur divisons in meiosis
two
meiosis starts with what kind of cell diploid or haploid
diploid
how many cells are there after meiosis
4 haploid cells
steps of meiosis
interphase 1
normal growth
gi
normal growth
s
synthisize dna
g2
synthesize organelles
more growth
prophase 1
nucleus gone
centrioles migrate
spindles form
crossing over
metaphase 1
homologous pairs go to the middle
centriolles migrate
spincle fibers attach
anaphase 1
homologous chrosomes seperate
meosis 11
second nucleur division
telophase 1
cell membrane pinches in
nucleur mambrane back
prophase 11
spindle forms
nuclues gone
centriolles replicate
metaphase 11
chrosomes line up in the middle
centrioles migrate
spindle fibers attach
anaphase 11
spindle fibers shorten
sister chromatids seperate
telophase 11
cleveage
nucleus back
cytokinesis
cytoplasmic division
what are some of the mistakes that happen in meiosis
sex cells with too many or tow few chromsomes
zygote will have the wrong number of chromosomes
what will happen to the zygote that has the wrong number of chromosomes
may not grow normally
