CELL REPRODUCTION Flashcards
(71 cards)
a process by which cells duplicate their
contents and then divide to yield
multiple cells with similar, if not
duplicate contents.
Cell Reproduction
Cell reproduction is a fundamental process to ______ ______.
create life
Cell reproduction is a fundamental process to create life, occurring in all forms of it, ensuring the perpetuity of their existence, as well as ______, _______ _________, and __________ in multicellular organisms.
growth, tissue replacement, reproduction
cell reproduction is also known as _______ _______
cell division
the stage in the cell cycle where each cell divides to form two daughter cells
cell reproduction or cell division
3 BIOLOGICAL MECHANISMS OF CELL REPRODUCTION
Binary Fission
Meiosis
Mitosis
the process in
which one cell, called the parent
cell, divides to form two new
daughter cells.
Cell Division
How this happens depends on whether the cell is prokaryotic or eukaryotic.
Cell Division
How the cell division happen depends on whether the cell is _________ or _________.
prokaryotic, eukaryotic
In prokaryotic cells, it is very _______.
Simple
(BIOLOGICAL MECHANISMS OF CELL REPRODUCTION)
Happens in Prokaryotes
Binary Fission
(BIOLOGICAL MECHANISMS OF CELL REPRODUCTION)
Happens in Eukaryotes
Meiosis and Mitosis
the life cycle of the cell
Cell Cycle
it is the series of growth and development steps a cell undergoes between its “birth” -formation by the division of a mother cell and reproduction - division to make two new daughter cells.
Cell Cycle
showcase how division happen from the birth or its formation to dividing it into two daughter cells
Cell Cycle
To divide, a cell must complete
_______ _________ _______
several important tasks
To divide, a cell must complete
several important tasks: (3)
- it must grow
- copy its genetic material (DNA)
- and physically split into two daughter cells.
In eukaryotic cells, or cells with a
nucleus, the stages of the cell
cycle are divided into _____ major
phases
two
TWO MAJOR PHASES OF CELL CYCLE
Interphase
Mitotic phase (M)
longest process in the division
interphase
the entire division process
mitosis
“first gap phase”
G1 Phase
phase wherein the cell grows
physically larger, copies organelles, and makes the molecular building blocks it will need in later steps.
G1 Phase
G1 Phase major activities are:
protein synthesis and organelle production
