Spender

Donor

100

Cell membrane

A thin, flexible layer around the cell, that controls which substances can enter or exit the cell.



100

In which two parts is the cell cycle seperated.

How many percentage each?

Interphase & Mitosis  (90/10)

100

Which identical bodycells are produced by men and women?

Sperm cells and egg cells also called gametes. 

200

Leihmutter

surrogate mother

200

Nucleus

Control center of the cell, contains DNA

200

In which state replicates the cell its DNA?

Synthesis

200

Where does meiosis takes place?

In the ovary of the women and in the testicles of the men.

300

Kernhülle

nuclear envolope 

300

Cytoplasm

A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended



300

In which order are the phases of mitosis?

Prophase, Anaphase, Metaphase, Telophase

300

What happens in the replication process with the number of chromatids?

It goes from 46 to 92 chromatids. 

400

Doppelstrang DNA

Double stranded DNA

400

Karyogram

shows the chromosomes of an organism in homologous pairs of decreasing length.

400

What happens in the Telophase?

The chromosomes are on the complete opposite ends and new nuclei are formed to make new cells. (Cytokinesis is responsible for the final separation into two cells by spreading the cytoplasm.)  

400

Whats the difference between meiosis 1 and meiosis 2?

At meiosis 1 the homologous chromosomes are in pairs.

At meiosis 2 there are only the paired chromatids.

500

Zellverschmelzung

Cell fusion 

500

Golgi apparatus

A system of membranes that modifies and packages proteins for export by the cell

500

Explain the Interphase with all its steps.

The first phase is the cell growth 1: The cell grows individually and checks if the DNA inside is damaged.

The GO resting state is when the cell doesn't divide anymore.

When the cell replicates is DNA we call it synthesis.

The last step in the Interphase is the cell growth 2. The cell grows more and makes proteins and organells in preparation for mitosis.

500

Why does the chromosome set of gametes look than the one of somatic cells?

Because of recombination and independent assortment in meiosis, each gamete contains a different set of DNA.
