Biology Unit 4 Flashcards
(50 cards)
G1
Growth and normal metabolic functions
What are in interphase?
G1 S and G2
S (synthesis)
DNA replication
G2
More growth, energy storage to prepare for division
Is mitosis in interphase?
No
Prophase
Chromatid (original DNA) + copy condenses and 2 centrioles move to opposite ends and nuclear envelope and nucleolus break up
Metaphase
Spindle fibers attach to original and copied DNA and all chromosomes
Anaphase
Sister chromatids separate and move oppositely along spindle fibers
Telophase
2 cells pinch
Cytokinesis
Rest of cell divides (organelles and cytoplasm)
Chromatin
Relaxed form of DNA in interphase. When condensed it turns into chromosomes
Chromatid
A copy of DNA (half of chromosome)
Chromosome
Duplicated or un duplicated condensed DNA
DNA
Gives instructions how to build proteins to express traits
What is the organization of DNA .from smallest to largest?
DNA-Genes-Chromosomes
Genes
A series of nucleotide or a segment of DNA
How many chromosomes or humans have?
23
Gametes
Sex cells containing 1/2 the genetic info that somatic cells have
What are the goals of meiosis
Create diversity within chromosomes and reduce the number of chromosomes of the cell to half of the parent cell
When does interphase occur in meiosis
Before meiosis 1
Both meiosis 1 and 2 have…
Cytokinesis
What happens in prophase 1 of meiosis?
2 copied chromosomes come in contact and form a tetrad
Tetrad
Homologous (code for a trait) and are from mom and dad
4 haploid cells in males=
Sperm
