FIN 4 BIO 106 Chapter 17 Cell Reproduction and Differentiation
Chapter Objectives
1.Describe the events of the cell cycle.
2.Describe the structure of DNA.
3.Describe the structure and function of a chromosome; include histone, chromatin, chromatid,
centromere, and gene.
4.Describe the process of replication.
5.Describe the process of transcription.
6.Define introns, exons and codon.
7.Describe the three steps of translation.
8.List the steps to mitosis and what is occurring in each step.
9.Describe the process of cytokinesis.
10.List the steps to meiosis and what is occurring in each step.
11.Define the terms haploid, diploid, and differentiation.
1.Describe the events of the cell cycle.
The creation of new cells from existing cells involves a sequence of events known as the
cell cycle. (figure 17.1 page 403)
The cells cycle consists of two distinct periods, called interphase and mitotic phase
Interphase is divided into three subphases:
G1 phase- the cell synthesizes mRNA and proteins
S phase- DNA is replicated
G2 phase- prevents cells with damaged DNA
Mitotic phase is when the nucleus and then the cytoplasm divide
Mitosis- a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells
Cytokinesis- the physical process that splits the parent cell
