Vocab
A threadlike, gene-carrying structure found in the nucleus. Each chromosome consists of one very long DNA molecule and associated proteins. kaden only got like 4
chromosome
first and longest phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate and take up positions on the opposite sides of the nucleus
prophase
Material present in the cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells, important during cell division; the microtubule-organizing center.
centrosome
All living things are made up of __?
cells
Gap 1-growth, increases number of organelles, normal cell functions
G1 stage
the process in reproduction and growth by which a cell divides to form daughter cells
cell division
the second stage in mitosis or meiosis in which the duplicated chromosomes line up along the equatorial plate of the spindle
metaphase
long strands of DNA found in the eukaryotic cell nucleus; condense to form chromosomes; the readily stainable substance of a cell nucleus consisting of DNA and RNA and various proteins
chromatin
Im going to call you on your __ ___?
Cell phone
cells that lack differentiation, have abnormal nuclei, do not undergo apoptosis, form tumors, undergo metastasis and angiogenesis
cancer cells
cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the same number of chromosomes; eukaryotic division
mitosis
Which stage of the mitotic process takes the longest?
Prophase
A radial array of short microtubules that extends from each centrosome toward the plasma membrane in an animal cell undergoing mitosis.
aster
Casey missed the game winning 3-pointer, he's a _____
cell out
body cells (diploid), mitosis will divide these
somatic cells
ntical copies of a chromosome; full sets of these are created during the S(DNA replication) subphase of interphase; two daughter strands of a replicated chromosome joined at the middle by a centromere
sister chromatids
the fourth and final stage of mitosis or meiosis, during which a nuclear membrane forms around each set of new chromosomes; the final stage of meiosis when the chromosomes move toward opposite ends of the nuclear spindle
telophase
one of a family of closely related proteins that regulate the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells; a protein that attaches to kinases and makes the cell clock and kinases function efficiently by working in conjunction with them.
cyclin
On my salads i like to add ___antro
cell
an organism or cell that has two sets of chromosomes (somatic cells)
diploid
the final stage of the cell cycle, in which the cell's cytoplasm divides, distributing the organelles into each of the two new cells.
cytokinesis
the second stage of mitosis, in which discrete chromosomes consisting of identical sister chromatids appear, the nuclear envelope fragments, and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the chromosomes.
prometaphase
a specialized condensed region of each chromosome that appears during mitosis where the chromatids are held together to form an X shape; a structure of proteins assoicated with specific sections of chromosomal DNA at the centromere
kinetochore
Back to the man himself, casey's thicc ah lowkey got
cellulite
asexual reproduction in prokaryotes occurs using this process, cell enlarges and DNA replication occurs starting at the origin of replication. Chromosomes attach to a special membrane site and separate by the elongation of the cell that pulls them apart.
binary fission
