Cards

Term
Advantages of Meiotic Division
Definition
Variation, mixed genetic information
Term
Alleles
Definition
2 versions of one gene
Term
Anaphase
Definition
Spindle fibers start splitting chromosomes apart
Term
Anaphase I
Definition
Homologues split, creating 1n cells
Term
Anaphase II
Definition
Chromosomes split in half with spindle fibers
Term
Anchorage Dependence
Definition
Cells that will not divide in the wrong place allowing lumen to form (think bowels)
Term
Autosomes
Definition
All non-sex cells
Term
Budding
Definition
Yeast mitosis (makes mini clones of itself)
Term
Centromere
Definition
The middle part of chromosomes
Term
Centrosome
Definition
Centrioles- Manages mitosis, disassembles nucleus.
Term
Chromatid
Definition
The arms of a chromosome
Term
Chromatin
Definition
The strands of information that form chromosomes
Term
Crossing over
Definition
Arms swap. Anaphase I of meiosis
Term
Cyclins
Definition
Only used for mitosis. Bind to activate kinase (Cdks) Cells divide at certain cyclin levels
Term
Cytokinesis
Definition
The absolute last part when a cell splits.
Term
Density Dependant Inhibition
Definition
Intermediate filaments; pressure/tension related
Term
Diploid cell
Definition
2n, 2 sizes of each chromosome
Term
Disadvantages of Meiotic Division
Definition
Greater chance of error. Longer
Term
External Mechanisms
Definition
Density Dependent Inhibition, Nutrient Depletion, Growth Factors and Anchorage Dependence
Term
Fission
Definition
How bacteria/unicellular protists divide
Term
G0 Phase
Definition
Cells are *WORKING* Interphase phase. No replication. Cells spend most time here (See Interphase)
Term
G1 Phase
Definition
Right before S phase. First growth phase. Determines if cell will divide or not
Term
G2 Phase
Definition
Will go into the M (mitosis) Phase. Checkpoint here will check DNA replication and potentially destroy the cell
Term
Genes
Definition
Piese f DNA that codes for one gene
Term
Growth Factors
Definition
Chemical signals calling for division. EX PDGF; released by ruptured platelets. Uses receptor proteins
Term
Haploid Cell
Definition
1n, 1 size of each chromosome
Term
Homo vs Hetero: -Gametic
Definition
Men are homo- Women are hetero-
XY XX
Term
Homologues
Definition
Pair of chromosomes carrying genes
Term
Internal Mechanisms
Definition
Cyclin Levels, Kinases (Cdks), MPF
Term
Interphase
Definition
Cells are *WORKING* G0 phase. No replication. Cells spend most time here (See G0)
Term
Interphase II
Definition
Nothing really
Term
Kinases
Definition
Extra phosphate for cell action/ATP production
Term
MPF
Definition
Supplies ATP for cell action
Term
Meiosis
Definition
Division of sex cells
Term
Meiosis I
Definition
Reduction of number of chromosomes
Term
Meiosis II
Definition
Sister chromatids divided; 4 homologues result
Term
Metaphase
Definition
Chromosomes line up in the middle
Term
Metaphase I
Definition
Homologues line up in the equator
Term
Metaphase II
Definition
Align single file
Term
Mitosis
Definition
Cell Division. Used for growth and repair. Asexual copying.
Term
Nondisjunction
Definition
chromosomes fail to separate in anaphase I; leads to Downs Syndrome
Term
Nutrient Depletion
Definition
Lack of stuff needed to divide. MUST CONSUME VITAMINS
Term
Oogenesis
Definition
3 polar bodies; one ova. Creation of eggs
Term
Parthogenesis
Definition
1n cell develops into a haploid adult
Term
Prophase
Definition
Chromosomes are formed from chromatin
Term
Prophase I
Definition
Pairing of homologues
Term
Prophase II
Definition
Nothing still
Term
R point
Definition
Reference to any cell checkpoint
Term
S phase
Definition
Copies DNA. Right after G1
Term
Sex chromosomes
Definition
final pair of chromosomes (made in gonads)
Term
Sister Chromatids
Definition
Two Arms of a chromosome
Term
Somatic Cells
Definition
All normal Body Cells
Term
Spermatogenesis
Definition
4 haploid cells, creation of sperm
Term
Synapsis
Definition
Tetrad Formation- pairing of chromosomes
Term
Telophase
Definition
Nuclear reformation
Term
Telophase I
Definition
Cells actually divide
Term
Telophase II
Definition
cytokinesis/nuclear regeneration resulting in 4 haploid cells
Term
Tetrad Formation
Definition
Synapsis- Pairing of chromosomes
Term
Vegetative Propogation
Definition
Plants reproducing without seeds
Term
Why cells divide
Definition
Repair damage
Reproduction
