Organelles
Which type of cell has a bigger vacuole? Animal or plant.
Plant cells have a bigger vacuole
How many chromosomes are in a haploid cell?
23 chromosomes are in a haploid cell
What is a haploid cell?
A haploid cell is a cell with 1/2 the amount of chromosomes.
What is G0?
G0 is the where all the stuff that doesn't replicate hangs out
What does P.M.A.T.C stand for?
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Cytokinesis
Where are the ribosomes located and what do they do?
The ribosomes are in the rough ER and they produce proteins
What happens during metaphase 1?
The chromosomes pair up and trade information, also known as crossing over
What is a daughter cell?
A daughter cells are the two new cells created by mitosis
What happens in M?
What happens during prophase?
The chromosomes become visible and the nuclear envelope disappears
What does the cytoskeleton provide for the cell?
The cytoskeleton provides pathways and structure
What are the common names for the gatemes?
Sperm and Egg cells
What is triploidy?
Triploidy is when you have an extra 21st chromosome, which results in down syndrome
What happens in S?
The DNA replicates.
What happens during anaphase?
The chromosomes break at the centromeres and the sister chromatids move to opposite poles
Do animal or plant cells have a cell wall?
Plant cells have a cell wall and animal cells do not
What happens during prophase 2?
The DNA that is now unique is condensed again so thats it can be divided in to single DNA strands
What does the prefix "ly" mean?
"Ly" means to break down. Ex, Lysosome
What are the phases of interphase?
The phases are G0, G1, G2, and S
What happens during telophase?
The cell starts to pinch in the middle and the nuclear envelope re-appears
What is the mitochondria?
The mitochondria is the power house of the cell and it increases ATP
How is anaphase 2 different from anaphase 1?
The new cells only get one copy of the chromosomes
Which parent determines gender?
Your father determines your gender by giving you either a y or an x chromosome
What happens in G1?
In G1 the cell prepares the DNA for synthesis
What happens during Cytokinesis?
Cytokinesis is the final stage of Mitosis and this is when the cell splits and you have two daughter cells
