Genome

A Cell's DNA

Autosome

All Chromosomes excluding the X&Y

Somatic Cells

All the body cells except for the sex cells

Gametes

Sperm & Egg (haploid)

Interphase Stages

G1-Cell Grows Larger, Producing organelles and proteins




S- "Synthesis" DNA is duplicated




G2-Cell prepares for division




*Most of a cell's life is spent in interphase

Mitosis Stages (in animal cells)

Prophase


Metaphase


Anaphase


Telophase

What happens in Prophase

Nuclear membrane disintegrates and nucleus disappears, Chromatin condenses into chromosomes (visible under a microscope), Spindle fibers form and are guided to the poles by centrioles

What happens in Metaphase

Chromosomes line up down the middle of the cell in any order

what happens in Anaphase

Sister chromatids seperate into daughter chromosomes, the daughter chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell

what happens in Telophase

The spindle fibers disintegrate and the nuclear envelope reforms. The chromosomes also begin to uncurl again

What is Cytokinesis

The process of dividing Cytoplasm into two distinct cell walls (it is followed by interphase again)

Functions of Mitotic Cell Division

1)Allows for fertilized eggs to eventually becomes an organism with trillions of individual cells


2) Allows organism to maintain its tissue. Skin cells – 2weeks RBCs – 4 months Stomach cells – 3 days


3) Basis for asexual reproduction – offspring are genetically identical to parent cell (clones)

Through a microscope, you can see a cell plate beginning to develop across the middle of a cell and nuclei forming on either side of the cell plate. The Cell is most likely...

A plant cell in the process of cytokineses.

One difference between cancer cells and normal cells is that cancer cells

Continue to divide even when tightly packed together

Which of the following does not occur during mitosis

Replication of the Dna

Diploid

46 chromosomes (22 pairs of somatic cells and 1 pair of sex cells)

Haploid

Only contains 23 chromosomes

Homologous Chromosomes

2 identical chromosomes in a cell (female cells are homologous, but males arent yet act like they are)

Zygote

Product of the fertilization of a gamete

Stages of Meiosis

Meiosis 1


Prophase 1


Metaphase 1


Anaphase 1


Telophase 1


Meiosis 2
Prophase 2


Metaphase 2


Anaphase 2


Telophase 2

Differences Between Meiosis 1 and Mitosis

Homologous pairs line up side by side. During metaphase the maternal and paternal homologous pairs line up together. No replication occurs after meiosis 1. Meiosis 1 leads to meiosis 2.

Difference between Meiosis 2 and Mitosis

Same thing as meiosis 1 except cytokineses produces another pair of haploid cells. 4 Haploid cells produced by the end of meiosis.

what is Crossing Over

Genetic material from non-sister chromatids can exchange places with one another.

What is spermatogenesis

Males go through spermatogenesis in order to produce 4 sperm at the end of each cycle (meiosis). The primary spermatocite goes through mitosis in order to replenish itself.

What is Oogenesis

Meiosis produces an Egg and 3 polar bodies. Occurs once a month.
