Cell Growth
How does a cell grow bigger?
Cell division and enlargement.
What is Prophase?
What is reproduction?
A biological process by which a new member of a species is created from a parent(s).
What is the definition of Cell division?
The process by which a cell divides into two new cells called daughter cells.
What does a cell need to grow?
nutrients, oxygen, and water.
What is Metaphase?
The period of mitosis where the centromeres of the duplicated chromosomes line up across the center of the cell.
What are the two types of reproduction?
Sexual and Asexual Reproduction.
What is the definition of Chromosomes?
A package of DNA that holds certain traits.
Why does the size of a cell effect the cells efficiency?
The larger a cell becomes the harder it is to move nutrients and waste across its membrane.
What is Anaphase?
The period of mitosis where the chromosomes separate and move along the spindle fibers to opposite ends of the cell.
Are the daughter cells’ genetics the same or different from asexual reproduction?
They are the same.
What is the definition of Differentiation?
The process by which cells become specialize.
How does cell growth effect DNA?
A cell that is too large may not be able to use the DNA due to the cells needs being too much for the DNA to fix.
What is telophase?
The period in mitosis where the chromosomes, which were distinct and condensed, begin to spread out into a tangle of chromatin.
What animals do sexual reproduction?
Animals, fungi, and plants mainly.
What is the definition of Stem Cells?
Un specialized cells from which differentiated cells develop.
How does cell growth tie into cell division?
If a cell grows too big, it may need to split its size and divide into two separate cells, I:E Cell Division.
What does cytokinesis do?
Cytokinesis completes cell division by dividing the one cell into two.
What organisms undergo asexual reproduction?
Bacteria, some plants and animals, and some fungi.
What is the definition of Pluripotent cells?
Cells of the inner cell mass inside the embryo.
