Cell Cycle Flashcards
(40 cards)
Asexual reproduction
Reproduction through cellular division
Sexual reproduction
Reproduction through fusion of gametes
Binary fission
- cell grows
- DNA is duplicated
- DNA is segregated
- Cytokinesis
Eukaryotic chromosomes
Linear pieces of DNA wrapped in proteins
Heterochromatin
Inactive areas of DNA
Euchromatin
Highly active areas of DNA
Chromosome
Linear piece of double stranded DNA wrapped in protein
Sister chromatids
Two copies of chromosome attached to each other at centromere
Cohesins
Proteins that allow sister chromatids to stick together
Karyotype
Condensed chromosomes for a given organism
Homologous chromosome
Similar but not identical
Cell cycle
Cell growth and chromosome replication ——-> chromosome segregation ——-> cell division
Interphase
Period of cellular growth and DNA replication
Mitosis
Segregation of DNA
Cytokinesis
Shortest phase and the division of cytoplasm
G1 (interphase)
Period after mitosis of rapid cellular growth
S (synthesis)
Time of DNA replication and production of sister chromatids
G2
Slow cell growth, prepares for mitosis and cytokinesis
Cyclin
Leads to RB inactivity leading to un increase in cell turnover
Necrosis
Unprogrammed or accidental cell death
Apoptosis
Programmed cell death
Phases of mitosis
l. Prophase
2.prometaphase
