What are the 5 stages of mitosis
growth factor
centromere
prophase 1
how are cancers named
90% of meiotic division. Chromatin coils up. Synapsis. Chromosomes become visible. Crossing over occurs. Nucleoli disappear
Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase
Narrow 'waist' between sister chromatids
Protein secreted by certain body cells that stimulates other cells to divide. At least 50 different types. Different cell types respond to different growth factors
Cell continues to grow and copies its chromosomes
Ordered sequence of events that extends from the time a cell is first formed until its own division into two cells
based on site of origin

zygote
carcinomas
leukemias and lymphomas

Diploid cell number for humans
Can spread into neighboring tissues and other parts of the body, displacing normal tissue and interrupting organ function. Can cause blood vessels to grow toward the tumor. Tumor cells may enter blood and lymph vessels of the circulatory system and move to other parts of the body
Disease of cell cycle. Cells do no respond normally to control systems, divide excessively. Caused by single cell undergoing transformation, converting it to a cancer cell. Usually destroyed by immune system
G1, G2, M. G1 most important. If denied, enters G0 phase (non-dividing)
Originate in external or internal coverings of the body
2n = 46
independent assortment
"Like begets like" Genetically identical offspring by a single parent. One simple principal of inheritance
Cell elongation continues. Daughter nuclei begin to form around chromosomes. Chromatin fiber uncoils. Nucleoli reappear. 2 genetically identical cells formed
Fragment from one chromosome joins to a sister chromatid or homologous chromosome
Fragment reattaches to the original chromosome but in the reverse direction
Arrangement of homologous pairs in meiosis I. Random, causes variation
deletion
Located at a particular place
Disease of cell cycle. Cells do no respond normally to control systems, divide excessively. Caused by single cell undergoing transformation, converting it to a cancer cell. Usually destroyed by immune system
Fragment of a chromosome is lost
Typical body cell. 46 chromosomes. 23 pairs
Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase
sex chromosomes
Cell continues to grow and copies its chromosomes
Chromosomes exist as diffuse mass of long, thin fibers. Combination of DNA and protein molecules
Independent orientation. Random fertilization. Crossing over
Important. Determine sex. Female = XX. Male = XY. 23 chromosome
Chromosomes uncoil. Nuclear envelope re-forms
G1
G1, G2, M. G1 most important. If denied, enters G0 phase (non-dividing)
Shallow groove in cell surface. Only in animal cells. Actin microfilaments interact with myosin and contract, which pinches the parent cell in two
Controlled breeding to display particular traits. Attempt to make like beget like more than it would in nature
Independent orientation. Random fertilization. Crossing over
Cell grows
True or False
skip
mitotic spindle
Chromosome movement depends on it. Football-shaped structure of microtubules that guides the separation of the two sets of daughter chromosomes. Emerges from 2 centrosomes. In centrioles. Microtubule-organizing centers
True
False
anaphase
Motor proteins pull chromosomes apart. Attached fibers shorten, non-attached lengthen. Cell elongated as poles move farther apart. Over when chromosomes have reached the poles
True
False
3 sources of genetic variability in sexually reproduction organisms
Independent orientation. Random fertilization. Crossing over
True
False
somatic cell
Cell grows
True
False
telophase
Cell elongation continues. Daughter nuclei begin to form around chromosomes. Chromatin fiber uncoils. Nucleoli reappear. 2 genetically identical cells formed
True
False
