Fertilized Egg
Zygote
Stem Cells
Undifferentiated cells that become differentiated
Repeated pattern of growth, DNA duplication, and cell division
Cell Cycle
Chromosome
A continuous thread of DNA that has thousands of genes and info
Prophase
-Chromosomes condense & are visible as sister chromatids -Nuclear membrane disappears -spindle fibers form out of centrioles
Cell Division happens through?
The two types of stem cells
Embryonic and Adult
Purposes
Gene
Instructions for making protein
Metaphase
Differentiation
A process that creates special structures
Embryonic Stem Cells
Cells that have NEVER differentiated
G1 Phase
Cells grows and makes protiens
Half of a duplicated chromosome
Two identical chromatids
Anaphase
Specialized cells become?
Tissues
Adult Stem Cells
Cells found in adult bone marrow and are partially differentiated
S Phase
DNA Replication and doubles chromosomes
Centromere
The center of the condensed chromosomes that look pinched
Telophase
-chromatids decondense and look like chromatin
-nucleus refors
-spindle fibers break down
Tissues go from organs to?
Organ systems
Tissues>Organs>Organ Systems
The most basic unit of life
CELL
G2 Phase
More cell growth and protein synthesis
Telomere
Ends of a DNA molecule
Cytokenesis
Cytoplasm divides into 2 cells
