Inheritance II Flashcards
what is the order of mitosis?
end of interphase
prophase
prometaphase
metaphase
anaphase
telophase
(cytokinesis)
what is the difference between having cytokinesis in mitosis and not?
interphase to telophase is nuclear division (Mitosis)
interphase to cytokinesis is cell division
what are two centrioles called?
one centomere (aster)
what happens during the end of interphase?
DNA is already dulpicated
chromosomes are decondesed (unravelled)

what happens during prophase?
chromosomes condense and become visible
centromes seperate and begin to form spindle
- centrioles make spindle fibres

what happens during prometaphase?
nuclear membrane breaks down
chromosomes attach to spindle fibres

what happens during metaphase?
chromosomes line up at the equator of the spindle

what happens during anaphase?
centromeres split and chromatids are pulled to the poles of the cell

what happens during telophase?
nucleae membranes reform
a furrow starts to divide the cytoplasm

what happens during cytokinesis
follows mitosis
chromosomes decondense (unravel)
nuclear membranes full formed
division of cytoplasm is complete
two genetically identical daughter cells made

what is the point of mitosis?
make new cells to replace dead/damaged cells (i.e. repair)
to make new cells grow
where in the body does mitosis happen and which cells are involved?
mitosis occurs in all tissues of the body
some aread have a high rate of mitosis - skin, blood (red blood cells live for about 3 months), intestine cells (cells lining villi)
some areas have a very low rate of mitosis - neurones

what is the diploid number of the parent cell?

diploid number of parent cell = 4

how does the increase in temperature affect thetime taken for cell division to occur?

the time taken decrease
starting with one cell at 250, how many cells would there be after:
2 hours
8 hours

2 hours = 2
8 hours = 16
how many sets of chromosomes does a diploid have?
2
how many sets of chromosomes does a haploid have?
1
