17
Q

S (synthesis)

A

Time of DNA replication and production of sister chromatids

18
Q

G2

A

Slow cell growth, prepares for mitosis and cytokinesis

19
Q

Cyclin

A

Leads to RB inactivity leading to un increase in cell turnover

21
Q

Necrosis

A

Unprogrammed or accidental cell death

22
Q

Apoptosis

A

Programmed cell death

23
Q

Phases of mitosis

A

l. Prophase
2.prometaphase
3.metaphase
4.anaphase
5.telophase

25
prometaphase
nuclear enevlope dissapears
26
metaphase
chromosomes align at midline
27
Anaphase
sister chromatids separate and move toward opposite poles
28
Telophase
nuclear enevelope forms around each set of chromosomes
29
cytokinesis
division of cellular contents
30
Mitosis
all of body's cell division
31
meiosis
production of gametes
32
Meiosis I
-Starts after DNA duplication -Genetic material exchnaged between homologust chromosomes
33
Crossing over
Genetic info is shared/exchanged
34
Prosphase I
tetrad formed by synapsis of homologus chromosomes
35
Metaphase I
align at middle
36
Anaphase I/Telophase I
homologus chromosomes seperate and sister chromatids remain together
37
Meiosis II
no further chromosomal replication sister chromatids separate creating 4n cells
38
Nondisjunction
-homologous pair fails to separate at anaphase I -sister chromatids fail to seperate at anaphase II Results----> incorrect # of chromosomes in gametes
39
Aneuploidy
cells that have unusual chromosome arrangement
