Three examples of a specialized cell for animal
cells
Two examples of a specialized cell for plant cells
Brain cells, blood cells, stem cells
Cell Division
New cells are produced from one cell, resulting in
two cells identical to the original parent cell.
A structure that contains DNA.
Chromosome
Stem cells, root cells
Sister chromatids held together by a centromere.
Interphase
Majority of cells life is spent in which phase?
G1
First phase of the cell cycle and occurs during
Interphase.
The cell is growing and making organelles.
G1
S
Cytokinesis
Synthesis – chromosomes (DNA) are replicating
(being duplicated); occurs during interphase.
Cell is growing and preparing for mitosis; occurs
during interphase.
Nuclear Division; (prophase, metaphase,
anaphase,telophase)
Celluar division
Prophase
Chromosomes become visible
G2
Mitosis
Prophase
Metaphase
duplicated chromosomes line up along the
equatorial plate of the spindle
Metaphase
Anaphase
Chromosomes move to opposite poles of the cell.
Anaphase
Telophase
2 nuclei are formed.
Telophase
Cytokinesis
2 new identical daughter cells are formed.
Cytokinesis
Haploid
One set of chromosomes
Diploid
Two sets of chromosomes
Mitosis
Occurs in somatic (body) cells and has 2 new
identical daughter cells.
Process for growth and repair.
Mitosis
Meiosis
Crossing Over
Meiosis
Meiosis
Meiosis
Cancer Cells
Crossing Over
Sexual reproduction; produces gametes
Results are genetic recombination.
This cycle provides genetic variation in organisms.
Haploid and diploid cells are in what type of cycle?
This cycle has ½ the number of chromosomes as a
parent’s body.
Uncontrolled cell division; they are not responding
to the signals that regulate cell growth.
An area of a chromatid exchanged with a matching
area on a chromatid of the homologous
chromosome.
Cancer
Kills surrounding cells by using up their nutrients.
Stem Cells
Specialized cells such as brain cells, liver cells,
blood cells, etc..
Sex cells (sperms and eggs)
Gametes
Zygote
Non-disjunction
Which cycle would this be in? Meiosis
It is a fertilized egg cell.
Homologous chromosomes do not separate
correctly during meiosis.
