Vocabulary
A chemical that contains information for an organism's growth and function
DNA
What is the shape of DNA?
Double helix
What are the two main parts of the cell cycle?
How many parent organism do you need for asexual reproduction?
1
DNA wrapped around proteins like thread around a spool and compacted into structures
Why is cell division important? (Hint: G, D, R)
For growth, development, and repair
What two stages are in the cell division phase of the cell cycle?
Binary fission occurs in prokaryotes or eukaryotes?
prokaryotes (no nucleus)
What does it mean when the cell division is involved in growth? (hint: 2018 Kongkong -> 2020 Kongkong)
Cells divide to produce more cells as an organism grow
What happens during the interphase?
prep time! DNA replicates and the cell grows/prepared for mitosis
What is a process in which an organism develops tiny buds on its body?
Budding
the form of asexual reproduction occurring in prokaryotes
Binary fission
What does it mean when the cell division is involved in development?
The cells specialize as they grow (they have their own functions to maintain life)
What happens during cytokinesis?
division of cytoplasm; cell pinches and divides (via contractile ring/cell plate)
If we plant the cuttings from green onions, they start to grow again. This is an example of ____? (hint: re....)
Regeneration
the process of new tissue growth
Regeneration
What does it mean when the cell division is involved in repair?
The new cells replace the dead/old/damaged cells
Describe the process of mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase)
Prophase: chromosomes condense, nuclear membrane disappears
Metaphase: chromosomes line up
Anaphase: chromosomes separate
Telophase: new nuclear membranes form
Bacteria can reproduce very quickly
