-
Mitosis
the seperation cycle in the cell cycle
-
cell cycle
the growth and divison of a cell
-
centromere
holds chromotids together
-
prophase
when chomosomes coil, spindle fibers form, and the nuclear membrane breaks down
-
Metaphase
chromosomes line up and spindle fibers attach
-
Anaphase
centromeres didvide, chromosomes move to oppisite ends of the cell
-
Telophase
two new nuclear membranes form, and the chromosomes uncoil
-
cytokinesis
cytoplasm pinches the cell in two to form two new cells
-
G1
gap one growth, cells spend most time in this phase
-
G2
Gap two growth and final checkpoint before mitiosis
-
S
synthesis DNA is copied
-
-
chromosome
the DNA of a cell
-
Cancer
When cells divide more often the healthy cells
-
Benign
The cancer cells remained clustered
-
Binary fission
when DNA copies itself, and ends with two daughter cells
-
Sexual reproduction
uses more energy then asexual prodution, needs mates, only female can bear the child, takes time, increases genetic variation
-
Asexual reproduction
cost less energy the sexual reproduction, every asexual organism can bear child, can produce many off spring fast, all offspring are identical
-
Stem cells
potential to develop into differnt cells or tissues
-
Tissue
group of cells that work together to perform a similar function
-
Organ system
organs work together to maintain homeostasis
-
Apoptosis
Programed cell death
-
Totipotent
stem cell that can grow into any other cell type
-
Budding
A new organism forms from the parent
-
Fragmentation
parent organism splits into pieces and each piece can form into a new organism
