Cards

Term
Asexual Reproduction
Definition
One Parent Produces Identical Offspring
Term
Sexual Reproduction
Definition
2 parents produce offspring that exhibit variation
Term
Prokaryotic cells produce by...?
Definition
Binary Fission
Term
Binary Fission
Definition
When DNA replicates & then splits in two
Term
Cell Cycle
Definition
Sequence of orderly events in a life of a cell
Term
Interphase (90%) Eukarytic cell spend most of their most of cycle
Definition
 A stage in the cell cycle when a cell doubles its cytoplasm and synthesizes DNA
Term
G1 Phase of Interphase
Definition
Growth
Term
**S Phase of Interphase
Definition
DNA Replication
Term
G2 Phase of Interphase
Definition

Preparation for cell divison

- organelle production

Term
Mitosis
Definition
Replication of the Nucleus
Term
Prophase (mitosis)
Definition

- Chromatids Visible

- Nuclear membrane disappear

- Nucleoli disappear

- Mitotic spindle begins to form 

Term
Prophase I (meiosis)
Definition

-Tetrads formed by synapsis of hologous chromosomes (crossing over occurs)

-Homologous chromosomes come together

Term
Metaphase (mitosis)
Definition

-Chromatids attached to spindle and lined up at center of cell (ex:)

ii

ii

ii

ii

Term
Metaphase I
Definition

Tetrads align at the metaphase plate (middle of the cell)

ex:

iiii

iiii

Term
Anaphase (mitosis)
Definition

-Chromatids(sister) pull apart

 

Term
Anaphase I (meiosis)
Definition

Homologous chromosomes separate

-Sister chromatids remain together

Term
Telophase (mitosis)
Definition

-Chromatids not visisble

- Membrane reappears

-nucleoli reappear

-opposite of prophase...

-have two diploid cells (2n)

Term
Telophase I (meiosis)
Definition

-No more chromosome replication

-have 4 haploid cells (n n n n)

- chomosomes have many possibilities from parents; have genes from both mom and dad.

Term
Ctyokinesis
Definition
Cytoplasm splits in two 
Term
Cytokinesis in animal cell
Definition
-elements of cytoskeleton "pinch" the cell in two cleavage furrow forms
Term
Cytokinesis in Plant Cell
Definition
Vesicles containing cell wall material line up at center of the cell forming a new cell wall.
Term
What cells tend not to replicate?
Definition
Muscle & Nerve Cells
Term
Mitosis is necessary for...?
Definition

1.) Growth 

2.) Asexual reproduction

3.) Repair (replace)

4.) Regeneration of body parts

Term
Growth Factors
Definition

-Proteins that regulate cell cycle

- Some serve as checkpoints in cell cycle

 

Term
Density Dependent Inhibition
Definition

- Cells tend to divide until "space" is filled in

 

Term
Cancer
Definition
-Cells dividing out of control
Term
Tumor
Definition
- Abnormal mass of cells
Term
Malignant (tumor type)
Definition
- Tends to metastasize (spead disease or           defective cells)
Term
Benign (tumor type)
Definition
- Usually encapsulated & tend not to metastasize
Term
Antimiotic Drugs
Definition

- stops cell division 

ex:

1. radiation

2. chemo

3. surgery

Term
Carcinoma
Definition
- cancer of the epithelial tissue (skin)
Term
Sarcoma
Definition
- Cancer of connective tissue (bones)
Term
lymphomas
Definition
- cancer of lymph system (lymphnodes)
Term
leukemia
Definition
- cancer of white blood cells
Term
Homologous chromosomes
Definition
- carry the same trait at the same location 
Term
Diploid (2n) 
Definition
- full set of genetic material (from both parents)
Term
Haploid (n)
Definition

-Half of adult genetic material 

-found in gametes(sex cells)

Term
Meiosis 
Definition

- production of gametes (sex cells) 

-Reduction Division

Term
Crossing Over
Definition
Sections of homlogous chromatids overlap, break off, & exchange places
Term
3 reasons for variation in sexual Reproduction:
Definition

1.) Crossing Over

2.) Independent Orientation at Metaphase

3.) Random  Fertilization

Term
Nondisjunction
Definition
- failure of chromosomes or chromatids to separate during meiosis
Term
Deletion
Definition
Loss of a chromosome segement
Term
Duplication
Definition
- repeat of chromosome
