Term
Interphase
Definition
• G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase (not mitosis)
• Cell replicates DNA during S phase
• Majority of cell’s life—grows and does normal functions
Term
Mitosis
Definition
• The part of a cell’s life where it divides into two identical daughter cells
• Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
• Around 10% of a cell’s life
• Diagram on page 109
Term
Prophase
Definition
• Inside nucleus
o Chromatin fold together  chromosomes
o Pairs of identical chromosomes bound together with centromeres
o Nuclear envelope desintigrates
• In cytoplasm
o Centriole pairs start moving to ends of cell, miotic spindle forms
Term
Chromatin, Chromatid, Chromosome
Definition
• During prophase, chromatin fold together  chromosome
• Strands of DNA
Term
Centromere
Definition
• A microtubule that binds a pair of two identical chromosomes together
Term
Centriole
Definition
• Two pairs outside of nucleus in animal cells at beginning of mitosis
• Made of parts of the cytoskeleton
• Go to ends of cell during phrophase
• Connected by miotic spindle
Term
Miotic Spindle
Definition
• Microtubules that connect the pairs centrioles
• Help move chromosomes to opposite ends of cell in anaphase
• Attach to centromeres of chromosome pairs
Term
Metaphase
Definition
• Chromosomes line up on the metaphase plate in middle of cell
• Centrioles at poles of cell
Term
Anaphase
Definition
• Cell starts to pull itself apart—pairs of chromosomes separate, miotic spindle pulls them
Term
Telophase
Definition
• Two daughter cells form—membrane starts forming between them
• Chromosomes become less dense and nuclear envelopes form around them
• Cytokinesis
• The end of mitosis
Term
Cytokinesis
Definition
• Organelles of the cell migrate to differnent poles
• Part of telophase
Term
Plant Cell Division
Definition
• No centrioles
• Cytokinesis happens inside the cell because of rigid cell wall
• Vesicles make polysaccharides  cell plate  new cell wall between daughter cells
Term
Meiosis
Definition
• Process where sex cells are made—gametes
• Two parts—meiosis I and meiosis II
Term
Meiosis I
Definition
• Crossing over during prophase I—other phases are similar to mitosis
• Ends with two daughter cells, non-identical
• Each has two copies of same half-set of chromosomes, these two copies are same except for crossing over
Term
Meiosis II
Definition
• No DNA replication first  results in haploid cells
Term
Gametes
Definition
• Haploid cells (one set of each chromosome)
Term
Crossing Over
Definition
• The chromosomes get a little bit mixed up  complete chromosomes with segments from different chromosomes
• Happens during prophase I
• Helps produce genetic variation
Term
Cleavage Furrow
Definition
• Ring tightens to separate cells in cytokinesis during cell division
• Animal cells
Term
Synapsis
Definition
• Happens during prophase I of meiosis
• Pairing of homologous chromosomes—allows for crossing over
Term
Tetrads
Definition
• Two pairs of aligned homologous chromosomes
• During meiosis, made during late prophase I
