Mitosis - ANSWER part of eukaryotic cell division during which the cell nucleus divides



characteristics:

1. development of an individual, composed of some 50 trillion cells, from a one-celled
fertilized egg

2. growth of all tissues and organs after birth

3. replacement of cells that die

4. repair of damaged tissues.



Prophase - ANSWER Chromosomes become visable and releases into the cytosol,
nuclear envelop dissolves, spindle fibers form, centrioles lie at each pole of cell, and spindle
fibers then tug the chromosomes back and forth until they line up along the midline of the
cell.



metaphase - ANSWER the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell



anaphase - ANSWER Phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate and move
to opposite ends of the cell

sister chromatids are generally identical



Telophase - ANSWER daughter chromosomes cluster on each side of the cell, rough ER
produces a new nuclear envelope around each cluster, and the chromosomes begin to uncoil
and return to the thinly dispersed chromatin form, mitotic spindle breaks up and vanishes.

, Cytokinesis - ANSWER division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells



Interphase - ANSWER The time between two successive M phases.



G1 phase - ANSWER Growth phase. Longest phase of cell cycle. produces extra
organelles.



S phase - ANSWER The synthesis phase of the cell cycle; the portion of interphase
during which DNA is replicated



G2 Phase - ANSWER Prepare for mitosis. Make microtubules. further cell growth and
organization of cellular contents



Meiosis - ANSWER a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with
half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes.



Differences between mitosis and meiosis - ANSWER 1. Meiosis has two rounds of
genetic separation (mitosis twice) and cellular division while mitosis only has one of each.

2. In meiosis, homologous chromosomes separate leading to daughter cells that are not
genetically identical. In mitosis the daughter cells are identical to the parent as well as to
each other.

3. Meiosis produces gamete cells and mitosis produces diploid cells

4. Meiosis produces 4 cells and mitosis produces 2



plasma membrane - ANSWER Prevents escape of cell contents; regulates exchange of
materials between cytoplasm and extracellular fluid; involved in intercellular communication



microvilli - ANSWER Increase absorptive surface area; widespread sensory roles
(hearing, equilibrium, taste)
