Quarter 1 Week 5 [School-based] Flashcards
(37 cards)
the cell cycle only ends when the cell is _________ or _________….if not, it goes on
damaged or mutated
A series of events that takes place in a cell as it grows and divides
cell cycle
life cycle of a cell
cell cycle
the two main stages of a cell cycle that keeps on repeating in a loop
growth and division
growth stage: interphase
division stage: mitotic phase/mitosis
the main purpose of a cell cycle is ________
TO MAKE NEW CELLS
A process through which cells replicate and make 2 new cells
Cell Cycle
2 Types of Cells in the Body
Somatic
Gametes
describe somatic cells
also called body cells (undergo mitosis)…all the other cells except egg and sperm cell
describe gametes
also called “sex cells” (undergo meiosis)…egg and sperm cell
doesn’t undergo mitosis nor meiosis because it doesn’t regenerate
neurons
Important Tasks of Cell Cycle
- grow and develop
- duplicate its genetic materials
- physically split into two daughter cells
longest stage in mitosis and 80% of the cell cycle is being spent on this
Interphase
Under Interphase we have
G1 Phase, S Phase (DNA Replication), G2 Phase
Under the Mitotic Phase we have
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
3 building blocks in the human body
triglyceride and fatty acids - fats and lipids
Amino acids - protein
Monosaccharide - carbohydrates
What happens in G1 Phase
- cells grow physically longer and wider (more on length)
- duplicates organelles
- makes molecular building blocks
Events that take place in S Phase
- DNA replicates
- organelle called centrosome forms (responsible for the division of DNA in S Phase)
what happens during G2 Phase
- cell grows more
- makes macromolecules
- reorganizes its contents
G0 Phase or Gap Zero Phase
- A phase of inactiveness
- The cell does its job but is not preparing for cell division (e.g liver cells frequently undergo this)
- Also called “resting phase”
Division Stage and the purpose is to divide the cell
Mitotic Phase or M Phase
Describe M Phase
- a phase where the cell divides its copied DNA and cytoplasm to make new cells
- 2 division related processes include: karyokinesis and cytokinesis
Describe Karyokinesis
Division of DNA
Because it’s in the Nucleus, the nucleus also divides
Has 5 stages (Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase)
Describe Cytokinesis
Division of Cytoplasm
because the formula for cytoplasm is cytosol + organelles, we divide the cytosol and the organelles in it
What happens in Prophase
- Nuclear Envelop disintegrates (to allow the penetration of spindle fibers that will later on connect to the chromosomes)
- Chromosomes become double stranded (it is single stranded during interphase)
- Centrosome produces ropelike projections called “spindle fibers” and moves towards the nucleus
