Chapter 10: Cell Growth and Division

AB
Reproductive Cells: Egg and SpermGametes
Asexual Reproduction in BacteriaBinary Fission (prokaryotes)
Structures made up of genes found in the nucleusChromosome
A segment of a chromosome made up of DNAGene
Put in order from largest to smallest (gene, DNA, chromosome)Chromosome, gene, DNA,
A chromosome is made up of two _____Chromatids,
The point at which two chromatids are attachedCentromoere,
A pair of similar chromosomes (one from the mom and one from the dad)Homologous Chromosomes
A cell with two sets of chromosomesDiploid (2n)
A cell with one set of chromosomesHaploid (n)
A fertilized eggZygote
Chromosomes that determine gender (sex)Sex Chromosomes (23rd pair in Humans)
Chrosomes not involved in determining the genderAutosomes (Pairs 1-22 in Humans)
Sex Chromosomes for Human FemalesXX
Sex Chromosomes for Human MalesXY

Steps in the life cycle of a cell (growth and division)Cell Cycle (eukaryotes)
Phase in Cell Cycle of cell growthG1,
Phase in Cell Cycle of DNA synthesisS,
Phase in Cell Cycle of more growth and preparation for mitosisG2,
Phase of Cell Cycle in which the nucleus divides into twoMitosis,
Last stage of the Cell Cycle when the cell dividesCytokinesis,
Uncontrolled growth of cells may result inCancer
Four stages of Mitosis in orderProphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
Cytokinesis in animal cellsCell is pinched in half
Cytokinesis in plant cellsA cell plate forms to divide the cell in two
What is purpose of mitosis?Growth and Repair of Tissues
Number "parent" cells at the start of MitosisOne
Number of chromosomes in "parent" cell at the start of MitosisDiploid (2n)
Number of "daughter" cells at the end of MitosisTwo
Number of chromosomes in "daughter" cells at the end of MitosisDiploid (2n)
