Cell Division Flashcards
Four stages of cell division
- G1
- S-phase
- G2
- Mitosis
Cells that undergo rapid cell division
- epithelial cells
- hematopoetic stem cells
- spermatogonia
Cells that do not undergo cell division
- mature nerve tissues
- mature muscle tissues
- mature red blood cells
Cells that divide when induced
- liver cells
- lymphocytes
G1 checkpoint
cell size, growth factors, DNA damage, nutrients
G2 checkpoint
cell size, DNA damage, DNA replication
Mitosis checkpoint
chromosome attachment to spindle
DNA structure of prokaryotes
- circular
- helical
- double stranded
Cell division of prokaryotes
Binary Fission
Homologous chromosomes
possess gene that code for the same characteristic at the corresponding loci
Mitosis stage where chromosomes condense
Prophase
Mitosis stage where chromatids line up at the center
Metaphase
Mitosis stage where sister chromatids separate
Anaphase
Mitosis stage where cells are close to being separated completely
Telophase
True or False: In Meiosis I, it reduces chromosome number
