Mitosis & Meiosis Flashcards
where cells multiply by dividing (52 cards)
mitosis
asexual reproduction
1 cell (2n) –> 2
2 (2n)
to = two cells
meiosis
sexual reproduction
2n –> 4 cells (n)
sperm, eggs
four vowels = 4 cells
2 rounds of cell division
diploid
2n = 46
n = 23
human
haploid
1
human life cycle
man & woman
- man - meiosis , woman - meiosis
- fertilization - zygote
- zygote - mitosis
- baby (2n) - mitosis
cell cycle
Interphase (90%):
G1, S-phase, G2
M phase(10%): mitosis
G1
first part of interphase
organelles begin to double in number
S phase
2nd part of interphase
replication of DNA
G2
3rd part of interphase
synthesis of proteins, prep for cell division
interphase
centrosomes, chromatin, nuclear envelope, plasma membrane
prophase
DNA condenses like yarn, nucleus disappears
metaphase
‘middle phase’
metaphase plate forms
chromosomes are aligned
at the equator of the spindle
anaphase
separate sister chromatids, they go to the opposite sides of the cell
telophase
opposite of prophase
nuclei form and spindle disappears
cytokinesis
cell moves apart, cleavage furrow, creating two daughter cells
cancer
uncontrolled cell growth
90% of cancers are caused by epithelial cells
- avoids checkpoints in cell cycle
contact dependent
cells will continue to grow until an area is covered, then stop - cancer cells do not have contact dependency
tumor
cancer cells pile up on top of each other creating
(benign is fine)
anchorage dependent
cells will stay attached / grounded to surroundings
cancer - loss of anchorage dependency
metastasis/ metastatic cancer
movement of unanchoraged tumors
apotosis
cell suicide - won’t happen in cancer/ bad cases of cancer
G0 cells
cells that will not regenerate when killed
nerve cells, cardiac, skeletal
stage 1 cancer
loss of contact dependency
benign tumor at this point
take a sample to see if its self contained
stage 2 cancer
cells spread and invade neighboring tissue
typically rough edged
