530978569What process decreases the number of cells?Apoptosis or cell death
530978570When does cell division have to occur?Body Growth, Repair of Injury, Fighting Infections, and replacing dead cells
530978571What are some example of apoptosis?When the tail of a tadpole disappears as it becomes a frog, when the skin between the fingers and toes of hums dies during development
530978572What is the cell cycle?an orderly sequence of events that occur from the time a cell is first made until it divides into two new cells
530978573What are the stages that make up the interphase?G1 stage, S Stage, G2 Stage
530978574What occurs during the G1 Stage?cell growth, and cell doubles its organelles, prepares for dna replication
530978575What are organelles?cell structures
530978576What occurs during the S Stage?DNA replication
530978577What occurs during the G2 Stage?cells make proteins needed for cell division
530978578What occurs during the G0 Phase?Nerve Cells and Muscle Cells exit the cell cycle
530978579What occurs during the M Stage?Mitosis and Cytokinesis
530978580When do the three check points of the cell cycle take place?During G1, G2, and M Stages
530978581What does the check point during G1 check and what happens if something is damaged?it checks if DNA is damaged and if it is apoptosis occurs
530978582What does the checkpoint i the G2 Stage do?it checks to see if the DNA is damages and will not proceed if it is
530978583What does the checkpoint during the M Stage check?if the chromosomes are properly aligned
530978584What is chromatin made up of?DNA and protein
530978585What are histones?packaged DNA that can fit into the nucleus
530978586What are chromatids?the 2 identical chromosomes that are the result of replication
530978587What does the centromere do?holds together the two chromatids
530978588How many chromosomes do humans have?46
530978589What is the diploid number of chromosomes and what kind of cells have this number?2 chromosomes of each kind (one from each parent), they are in body cells
530978590What is the haploid number of chromosomes and what kind of cells have this number?1 of each kind of chromosome, sex cells
530978591What is mitiosis and is what typle of cells does it occur?dipoid cells divid to produce diploid cells, daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell, occurs in body cells
535754400What occurs during late interphase?the centrosomes duplicate and the chromatin condenses into chromosomes
535754401What are the two things that centrosomes include?centrioles and asters
535754402What are asters?short microtubules
535754403What are the three things that occur during early prophase?- Chromosomes become visible - Centrosomes move to opposite ends of the cell - Nuclear Membrane and nucleolus disappear
535754404What are the two things that occur during late prophase?- Spindle Fibers form - Chromosomes become attatched to the spindle fibers (centromere)
535754405What occurs during metaphase?Chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate (equidistant from the poles)
535754406What occurs during anaphase?- Centromeres holding sister chromatids divide - Sister chromatids dicide becoming daughter chromosomes, move towards opposite ends of cell
535754407What occurs during telophase?- Spindle disappears - Nuclear membrane reappears -Chromosomes turn into chromatin -Nucleolous reappears
535754408What is one thing that is different about mitosis in plant cells?Have no centriole or asters (still have centrosome and spindle)
535754409What does cytokinesis do?divides the cytoplasm
535754410What is different about it in plants?Newly formed cells receive a share of organelles made during interphase
535754411What is a cleavage furrow and where does it begin?indentation of membrane where cell will divde, begins at the end of anaphase (only occurs in animal cells)
535754412What is the contractile ring and what does it do?a band of actin and myosin filaments, slowly forms a constriction between the two daughter cells, completes the cell division (only occurs in animal cells)
535754413Why dont plant cells have cleavage furrows?the plants cells have rigid cells walls that cannot form one
535754414What is formed instead?a cell plate
535754415What forms later and what is it strengthened by?New plant cell wall strengthened by the cellulose fibers
546122232Binary Fissionthe proccess if asexual reproduction in prokaryotes
546122234How does the daughter cells compare to the parent cell?they are identical each with a single chromosomes
546122235What happens after DNA replication during cells division in prokaryotes?the two chrsomosomes separate as the cell elongates
546122238Meiosisproduces sex cells (gametes)- eggs and sperms reduces the number of chromosomes (haploid)
546122240What does this process ensure that the next generation of cells will have?the diploid number of chromosomes a combination of traits that differs from that of either parent
546122241How many divisions are involded in meiosis?two
546122243What does meiosis produce?four haploid cells
546122245How many pairs of homologus chromosomes do humans have?23
546122247Gametessex cells, what haploid daughter cells mature into
546122249Fertilizationfusion of egg and sperm which restores the diploid number of chromosomes
546777209Interkinesisthe period of time between meiosis 1 and meiosis 2
546777210Prophase 1-Nuclear Membrane and nucleolous disappears -Spindle Forms -Homogologous chromosomes pair
546777211Synapsisthe proces through which homologous chromosomes pair
546777212Metaphase 1homologous chromosomes line up at metaphase plate
546777213Anaphase 1homologous chromosomes separate and moves to opposite poles
546777214Telophase 1Nuclear membrane and nucleolus disappears cytokinesis occurs
546777215Prophase IISpindle reappears Nucleolus and nuclear membrane disappear Chromosomes attach to the spindle
546777216Metaphase IIChromosomes line up at metaphase plate
546777217Anaphase IISister chromosomes separate becoming daughter chromosomes
546777218Telophase IISpindle disappears Nuclear Membrane and nucleolus reappear Cytokinesis divides the cells
546777219What are the three ways genetic variation occurs?Crossing over, Independent assortment of homologous chromosomes, Combining of chromosomes of genetically different gametes during fertilization
546777220Crossing-overcombining of nonsister chromatids that occurs during prophase
546777221Independent assortment of homologous chromosomesseparate in a random manner, possible combinations of the 23 pairs of chromosomes
546777222Mitosis-DNA replication occurs only once -One Cells Division -Two diploid daughter cells genetically idetical to parents -Daughter cells identical to each other -Occurs in body cells for growth and repair
546777223MeiosisDNA replication occurs only once -Two Cells Division -Four Haploid daughter cells genetically different from parents -Daughter cells different from each other -Occurs in reproductive organs for the production of gametes
546777224The Human Life Cyclerequires both mitosis and meiosis
546777225Spermatogenesisproduces 4 haploid sperm in males
546777226Oogenesisproduces 1 egg cells in females
546777227Spermmature spermatids with 23 chromosomes
546777228Polar BodiesMeiosis II will only be completed if sperm are present, following meiosis II there is one haploid cell with up to three polar bodies
546777229Sperm and Egg Number of chromosomes23
546777230Zygote number of Chromosomes46 (23 pairs of homologous chromosomes)
