Term
viral reproduction requires
Definition
host cell
Term
viruses do not do _____
Definition
mitosis. mitosis requires that you be a cell
Term
lysed cells
Definition
cells containing a virus that just waits until it can replicate again
Term
bacterial reproduction: binary fission! splitting into 2
Definition

-grow big and obtain lots of nutrients, energy

-copy your DNA

-make more ribosomes and proteins

-drag the DNA to opposite ends of cell

-split down the middle

-repeat process

Term
binary fission requires ______ but for most bacteria a _____ is not needed
Definition

energy

host cell

Term
sporulation
Definition
specialized uneven cell division
Term
mitosis
Definition

division of eukaryotic cells

must copy DNA and make enough organelles for 2 cells and then partition them equally

Term

cell cycle (4)

Definition

G1 phase

S phase

G2 phase

M phase

 

Term
G1 phase-
Definition
cells doing their job. many cells never leave this stage
Term
S phase-
Definition
synethis DNA and start copying organelles
Term
G2 phase-
Definition
finish copying organelles and make sure cell is big enough
Term
M phase
Definition
mitosis (several steps)
Term
steps of mitosis: (5)
Definition

1.prophase

2.metaphase

3.anaphase

4.telophase

5.cytokinesis

Term
prophase:
Definition
making sure everything is organized. stop expressing DNA. compress chromosomes
Term
metaphase
Definition
line DNA up in middle of cell. this way each cell will get appropriate number of chromosomes (23 pairs in humans)
Term
anaphase:
Definition
start pulling everythign apart. DNA and organelles are taken to opposite ends of cell
Term
telophase
Definition
finish dividing everything evenly
Term
cytokinesis:
Definition
official division
Term
which organisms perform meiosis?
Definition

germline cells. organisms that must have 2 sets of chromosomes (diploid)

Term
somatic (body cells) divide by
Definition
mitosis
Term
meiosis 1: steps
Definition

-replicate chromosomes (2n=>4n)

-pair the homologues together

-cross over

-pull homologues apart

-divide into 2 seperate cells (2n)

Term
# of combinations for meiosis?
Definition
2^number of chromosome pairs
Term
crossing over:
Definition

occurs during meiosis 1

occurs at chiasma

sister chromotids

major mechanism of genetic recombination

Term
meiosis II (steps)
Definition

-one 2n cell divides to form 2 1n cells

-each cell only gets one copy of each chromosomes

-independent assortment of chromosomes
