Term
Mitosis: occurs in what cells, its goal
Definition
*somatic cells: liver, spleen, bone
*distribute DNA equally between daughter cells
Term
Interphase's 3 goals
Definition
1.DNA replication
2. double # of organelles 3.parent cell readies itself to divide
Term
3 Phases of Interphase
Definition
1.G1-Gap1: regular maintenance, protein production; cells that don't divide stay in this phase
2.S-Synthesis: DNA replication, doubling organelles & proteins 3.G2-Gap2: resting period before parent cell divides
Term
Mitosis: Prophase
Definition
*chromatin condenses to chromosomes *chromos pair w/homologue joined @ centromere *centrioles move to oppo. ends of parent cell making microtubules *nuclear mem dissolves, spindles grab centromeres
Term
Mitosis: Metaphase
Definition
*chromos. line up on metaphase plate *1 centriole grabs 1 sister chromo, other centriole grabs onto oppo. sister
Term
Mitosis: Anaphase
Definition
*centrioles move further apart *sister chromos separate, pulled apart & to oppo ends of cells by spindle fibers
Term
Mitosis: Telophase
Definition
*chromos uncoil become chromatin as daughter nuclei form, nuclear mem forms
*actual separation of daughter cells, cleavage furrow
Term
Cytokinesis
Definition
*cell division *daughter cell splits from each other *cleavage furrow & centrioles push against each other to help split
Term
Meiosis
Definition
*division of gametes *doubling DNA not organelles *daughter cells not indentical: genetic variability
Term
Meiosis I:Interphase I
Definition
*DNA synthesis (replication)
Term
Meiosis I: Prophase I
Definition
*chromatin condenses -> chromos *centrioles separate *nuclear mem falls apart *genetic material exchange: crossing over
Term
Meiosis I: Metaphase I
Definition
*chromos. on metaphase plate *crossing over can occur *spindle fibers begin to form
Term
Meiosis I: Anaphase I
Definition
*spindle fibers pull chromos. apart (homologous pairs stay together)
Term
Meiosis I: Telophase I
Definition
*cleavage furrow *nuclear mem doesn't form & chromos don't uncoil *cytokinesis
Term
Meiosis II: Prophase II
Definition
*mitotic spindles reappear *no breakdown of nuc mem, centrioles stay @ oppo ends
Term
Meiosis II: Metaphase II
Definition
*chromos line up @ equator
Term
Meiosis II: Anaphase II
Definition
*sister chromatids separate @ centromere (same as mitosis)
Term
Meiosis II: Telophase II
Definition
*cleavage furrow *cytokinesis *nuc mem forms *chromos uncoil into chromatin
Term
3 Sources Genetic Variability
Definition
1.Crossing Over: Prophase I/Metaphase I, identical lengths of homologous chromos exchanging palces 2.Independent Assortment: Metaphase I, maternal & paternal chromos line up randomly on metaphase plate 3.Fertilization: 1 of 8 mil eggs, 1 of 8 mil sperm= 70 trillion possibilities
Term
Fertilization
Definition
*sperm: acrosomal enzyme chew thru outer mem of egg, inner mem pierced, signals sent across to prevent other sperm penetration *zygote formed @ time of fert.
Term
4 Stages of Development
Definition
1.Cleavage 2.Gastrulation 3.Organogenesis 4.Growth
Term
Cleavage
Definition
*splitting of or dividing *animal pole-darker vegetal pole-lighter (yolk) *blastocoel: fluid-filled cavity in animal pole
Term
Gastrulation
Definition
*blastula becomes 3 diff layers: *ectoderm-outer, animal pole move to outside of cell as cell division occurs *skin & nervous cells *mesoderm-middle, move toward embryo, cell movement begins *dorsal lip moves up towards animal pole *bone, veins, reproductive system, kidneys *endoderm-inner, vegetal pole *lungs, lining of digestive tract, heart
Term
Organogenesis
Definition
*refinement & maturation of organs 1.Induction- intercellular communication (what to be, where cell should go, when should cell move), 2 types of signals: protein & molecular 2.Morphogenesis- morphogens:chemical signal generate by cell assuming final shape, neural tube form to form spinal cord 3.Cell differentiation- cell becomes specialized in function
Term
Growth
Definition
*maturation of cells *tissues/organs assume final size *mitotic cell division
