9227341617meiosis reduces whatgenetic content16
9227348899meiosis is the division of sex cells with 4 haploid/gametes becauseit has 2 divisions called meiosis 1 and meiosis 217
9227357246meiosis 1 interphaseDNA replicates18
9227363296meiosis 1 prophasehomologous chromosomes join to form tetrads19
9227375192crossing over (meiosis) DNA is swapped between chromosomes ins a ____ this is important because....pair, important because it provides genetic variation20
9227416881meiosis 2-occurs just like the stages of meiosis but no DNA replication21
9227430294anaphase 1homologous chromosomes separate22
9227433070anaphase 2sister chromatids separate23
9227444404mitosis v meiosis (mitosis info)occurs in most body (somatic) cells (asexual reproduction), 1 division, forms 2 daughter cells (haploid), identical to parent24
9227455330meiosis v mitosis (meiosis info)occurs only in sex cells (sexual reproduction), 2 divisions, forms 4 daughter cells (haploid) and is different from parent25
9227465524spermatogenesis4 sperm cells26
9227468889oogenesisyields 1 egg cell, 2-3 polar bodies ( condensed area of nuclear material), conserves cytoplasm for egg27
9227491075stage of mitosis that DNA replicatesinterphase (S)28
9227495558chromosomes appear as a jumbled mess like spaghettiinterphase29
9227497629cytokinesissplitting of cytoplasm30

9241763902cell cyclesequence of growth and division of a cell47
9241770312to make an exact copy of DNAreplicate48
9241773251chromosomes are found herenucleus49
9241777665cell divisions resulting in 2 cells identical to the parent cellmitosis50
9241782736how DNA is packaged inside a cell (2 ways)chromosomes (chromatin)51
92417922064 reasons cells don't grow to be very large1) the DNA needs to meet the cells needs 2)repair and replacement if cell and cep growth 3)SA and V ratio needs to be even 4)diffusion needs to meet the cells needs52
9241808837as a cell grows its ____ increases faster than its ______surface area, volume53
9241817001if the sides of a cell doubles its SA increases ______ times and its volume increases ________ times4, 854
9241848384cell cycle is controlled byproteins and enzymes55
9241853734uncontrolled cell division is caused by (3 reasons)1) failure to produce enzymes 2)overproduction of enzymes 3) production of enzymes at the wrong time56
9241873317normal cells v cancer cellsnormal cells exhibit "contacts inhibition" and stop dividing when they touch each other, cancer cells pile up on top of each other57
9241883911tumormasses of tissues caused by cancer, they deprive normal cells of nutrients58
9241891563metastasiscancer cells enter the blood stream and spread through out the body to other organs59
9241904351the 2 types of causes of cancerenvironmental factors and genetic factors60
9241908987environmental causes of cancer (4 causes)cigarette smoke, air and water pollution, UV radiation, viral infections61
9241917021cancer can be prevented witha healthy diet with high in fiber and low in fat with vitamins and minerals, exercise, avoiding bad decisions such as tobacco62
9241977139UV radiationthe radiation photons harm the DNA molecules of living organisms. commonly, adjacent bases bond with each other instead of across the "ladder" which makes a budge and the distorted DNA molecule does not function properly63
