Cell Cycle
This is the word that means nuclear division. But is also a type of cell division.
What is mitosis?
During this phase of mitosis the nuclear envelope reappears and the cell has two nuclei.
What is Telophase?
What is a zygote?
These are the two things viruses are made of.
What is a protein capsid and genetic material (DNA/RNA)?
This is the passive transport where the water moves to an area of high solute concentration.
What is osmosis?
This is the words that means the organelles and cytoplasm of the cell are divided. It instantaneously cuts the cell in two.
What is Cytokinesis?
During this phase of mitosis the nuclear envelope disolves and the DNA condenses into chormosomes.
What is prophase?
A pair of chromosomes, one from mom and one from dad, that are similar- they may have different alleles of the same gene.
What are homologous chromosomes?
During the virus infection cycle the viral DNA is replicated. The virus parts are made and assembled until the host cell explodes.
What is the lytic cycle?
This is the passive transport that requires a transport protein because the particles are too big.
What is facilitated diffusion?
This is the period during the cell cycle when the cell is busy growing.
What is Interphase?
During this phase of mitosis sister chromatids are pullled apart by spindle fibers.
What is anaphase?
During meiosis allelles from moms chromosomes physically switch places with allelles from dads chromosomes. This is process is important for genetic diversity.
What is crossing over?
During this infection cycle the virus DNA becomes part of the host cell DNA. The host cell is not harmed, but passes the infection to her daughter cells during mitosis.
What is the lysogenic cycle?
This is the active tranport that requires energy and a transport protein to move molecules across the membrane.
What is an ion pump?
This important event occurs during interphase, before the nucleus or cell divides.
What is DNA replication?
What is metaphase?
These are the products of meiotic cell division.
What are 4 unique haploid daughter cells?
This is the reason why we need to get a flu shot every year.
What are mutations?
This particle movement from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
What is diffusion? (or passive transport)
The name for DNA during interphase that is loose and uncoiled
These are the products of Mitotic Cell Division?
2 identical daughter cells.
During Metaphse 1, this process ensures that homologous chromosomes are randomly sorted into gametes, contributing to genetic diversity.
What is Random or Independent Assortment?
We can conclude this is true about viruses, because when you put them in a test tube with food nothing happens.
Why is a virus NOT alive?
This is movement of particles across a membrane from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
What is active transport?
