Cards

Term
cell division roles
Definition
unicellular
duplicate offspring
multicellular
make progeny
offspring from a zygote
replaces cells
Term
geonome
Definition
a cell's allotment of DNA
prokaryotic cells usually have 1
eukaryotic cells have more than 1
Term
chromosomes
Definition
contains one molecule of DNA
Greek chroma=color, soma=body
if not in miosis, the chromose in the form of a long thin chromativ fiber
Term
chromatin
Definition
one long linear DNA molecule that carries several hundred to a few thousand genes as well as the protiens that accompany them
Term
number of chromosomes in human somatic cells and number in reproductive cells
Definition
46 chromosomes in somatic cells (23 pairs)
23 chromosomes in reproducitve cells (one set, no pairs)
Term
cohesions
Definition
proteins that attach sister chromosomes down thier whole length
Term
centromere
Definition
narrow waist where sister chromosomes are closest attached
Term
mitosis
Definition
the division of the nucleus of a somatic cell
Term
meiosis
Definition
modified process of cell division, reduces the number of sets of chromosomes from two to one in gametes
Term
cytokinesis
Definition
the division of the cytoplasm
Term
Interphase
Definition
consists of G1, S, and G2 phases
Term
G1 phase
Definition
cell grows and produces proteins adn cytoplamsic organelles
Term
S phase
Definition
chromosomes copied, grows, produces protiens and cytoplasmic organelles
Term
G2 phase
Definition
cell grows and produces protiens adn cytoplamic organeles, prepares ot divide
Term
Prophase
Definition
chromatin fibers condense, mitotic spindle form and centresomes move away form each other
Term
Prometaphase
Definition
chromosomes finish condensing, nuclear envelope fragments and microtubules invade area, chromatids are jerked about by kinetochore microtubules
Term
metaphase
Definition
longest stage, centrosomes are at opposite poles, chromosomes are at the metaphase plate
Term
anaphase
Definition
shortest stage, cohesion proteins cleaved, 2 sister chromosomes separate and become full-fledged chromosomes, cell elongates, chromosomes move to oppposite poles by being reeled by or waliking up the microtubule
Term
telophase
Definition
two daughter nuclei form, chromosomes become less condensed, MITOSIS IS COMPLETE
Term
cytokinesis
Definition
starts in late telophase, division fo the cytoplasm in animal cells, involves a cleavage furrow, in plant cells it involves a cell plate
Term
cleavage furrow
Definition
shallow grove in cell surface near old metaphasal plate, microfilaments form a contractile ring, "cleaving" the cell into two daughter cells
Term
cell plate
Definition
cesicles form golgi body move to middle fo cell, produce a cell plate, by releasing a substace. Cell plate fuses with old cell wall and divides the two new daughter cells.
Term
Binary fission
Definition
asexual prodcution fo eukaryotes and prokaryotes (for them it does not necessarily involve mitosis)
Term
miotic spindle
Definition
consists fo finer made of microtubules and associated proteins
Term
aster
Definition
a short arrau of microtubules
Term
kinetochore
Definition
a structure of proteins associated with specific sections fo chromosomal DNA and the centromere
Term
cell cycle clock
Definition
timed by kinases and cyclins
MPF- signals cells passage into M phase
external and internal signals
Term
growth factor
Definition
a protein released by certain cells that stimulates other cells to divide
Term
platelet derived growth factor
Definition
made by platlets, binds to receptor tyrosine kinase, lets cells pass G1 checkpoint
Term
Density dependent inhibition
Definition
when crowded cells stop dividing
Term
Anchorage dependence
Definition
cells must be attached to a substratum
Term
cancer cells
Definition
don't heed normal checkpoint signs
invade other tissue by reproducing excessively
loss of response to growth factors
