7
Q

Explain Interphase.

A
  • Cells prepare for cell division.
  • Cells grow bigger, chromatin network starts to condese into chromosomes and DNA replication takes place.

Q

Explain Prophase?

A
  • Chromatin network condenses.
  • Duplicated chromosomes are visible as 2 chromatids and a centromere.
  • Centrioles start moving to opposite poles.
  • Spindle fibres form between centrioles.
  • Nuclear membrane and nucleolus start disintegrating.

Q

Explain Metaphase.

A
  • Chromosomes are lined up on equator.
  • Chromosomes are attached to spindle fibres at centromeres.

Q

Explain Anaphase.

A
  • Spindle fibres pull and break centromeres in half.
  • Chromatids separate and are pulled to opposite poles.

Q

Explain Telophase.

A
  • Cytokinesis starts constricting cell at the equator by an invagination.
  • Nuclear membranes form around unreplicated chromosomes.
  • Two identical daughter cells are formed.

Q

Give 2 differences of Mitosis in plant and animal cells.

A
  • Plants don’t need centrioles do, animals do.
  • Plants separate through a cell plate, animal cells through invagination.

Q

21
Q

Name the 2 types of Tumours.

A

Benign and Malignant

22
Q

Explain what a Benign tumour is.

A

Grows slowly and stays at one site.

23
Q

Explain what a Malignant tumour is.

A

Grows irregularly, faster and the cells travel and invade other tissue (metastasis)

Acupuncture, homeopathy and message therapy.
28
Provide the definiton of a Centromere.
Structure that joins two chromatids to form a chromosome.
29
Provide the definition of Cytokinesis?
Division of cytoplasm, organelles and cell membrane.
30
Provide the definition of Centrioles.
Cell structure that forms the spindle during cell division.
