Intro
What is a cell?
Smallest working units of all living things.
What is the cytosol?
The watery "soup" of the cell surrounding the organelles.
What are the first and last steps of mitosis?
Interphase
1st-resting stage
Last-cells divided
What is "Genetics"?
The blueprints of a living organism. One gene set from each parent. Sections of genes are called chromosomes. Sections of a chromosome are called alleles.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
One-celled organisms (bacteria). DNA found in cytoplasm.
Does the nucleus have a single membrane or a double membrane?
A double membrane.
What is the second step of mitosis?
Prophase-chromosome formation.
What is a eurokaryotic cell?
Most living organisms like plants and animals. DNA found in nucleus.
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
The endoplasmic rough endoplasmic system as a contiunation of the outer nuclear membrane is a network of membrane-bound vesicles & tubules.
What is the third step of mitosis?
Metaphase-chromosome alignment
What are organelles?
Subcellular structure with one or more functions within the cell. Cellular version of an organ in a body.
What is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum sections which lack ribosomes are called transitional elements where transport vesicles form to carry newly made products to the golgi.
What is the fourth step of mitosis?
Anaphase-chromosome seperation.
What is DNA?
Deoxyribonucleic acid. Central storage of genetic information. Chromatin is DNA, RNA, & protein found in the nucleus.
What is the cytoskeleton?
The cytoskeleton is composed of a network of three primary protein filaments; microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate fibers.
What is the fifth step of mitosis?
Telophase-cell division.
