Mitosis
What is mitosis
The process cells replicate for growth and repair.
Define Prokaryotes.
Basic cells with no organelles and genetic material is floating in the cell, not contained in a nucleus.
What are the levels of organization in living organisms?
cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism
Define Chromosome
The genetic material found in cells
Define organ
A group of tissues working together with a common function.
List the stages of mitosis in order.
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
Define Eukaryotes.
Eukaryotes have membrane bound organelles and have the genetic material contained in a nucleus.
What is the role of the centrioles in cell division?
Produce the spindle fibers to separate the genetic material
Give an example of a multicellular organism
plants, animals, fungi
How many chromosomes does a daughter cell have mitosis?
The same number the parent cell had.
What is the genetic material of a eukaryotic cells called?
chromosomes (chromatin)
Order the levels of organization from the smallest to the largest.
cell, tissue, organ, system, organism
What is the purpose of spindle fibers
Attach to the chromosomes and pull them apart.
What is an organism
A group of organ systems working together to create one living thing.
Define cytokinesis.
The stage of the cell cycle where the cytoplasm and other organelles divide and two new cells are created.
Give an example of a prokaryotic organism.
Blue-green algae or bacteria
Define tissue
A group of cells with the same function working together.
What happens during interphase
Cell growth, chromosome replication, basic cell functions.
Define organ system
A group of organs working together with the same function.
How is mitosis different than the cell cycle?
The cell cycle is the full life of a cell including typical cell growth and functions. Mitosis is just a short stage of cell division.
Give an example of a eukaryotic organism.
plants, animals, fungi, protists
What are the levels of organization smaller than cells?
atoms, molecules, organelles
Describe the role of the cell membrane during cytokinesis.
Create a furrow and fuse together to create the new barrier of the two daughter cells.
Name the four different types of tissue found in the human body.
connective, epithelial, muscle, nervous
