UPDATE
how do prokaryotic cells divide - ANSWER ✔✔binary fission
explain the process of binary fission - ANSWER ✔✔- circular DNA is
attached to the cell membrane by proteins
- DNA is replicated
- cell doubles in size leading to a constriction forming at the midpoint of
the cell
,- new membrane and cell wall synthesized at the site of the constriction,
dividing the cell in two
what are the two phases of the cell cycle - ANSWER ✔✔M phase
and interphase
what occurs during M phase of the cell cycle - ANSWER ✔✔parent
cell divides into two daughter cells (mitosis and cytokinesis)
what occurs during interphase of the cell cycle - ANSWER ✔✔the
time between two successive M phases
- when the cell makes preparations for division like DNA replication and
cell growth
- organelles organized by the cytoskeleton
- S phase, G1 phase, and G2 phase
what happens in each of the phases of interphase - ANSWER ✔✔S
phase: DNA replication (synthesis of DNA)
G1 phase: between the end of M phase and the start of S phase
G2 phase: between the end of S phase start of M phase
what is the G0 phase - ANSWER ✔✔the gap phase of the cell cycle
in which cells pause in the cell cycle between M phase and S phase
, what is karyotype - ANSWER ✔✔the number and visual appearance
of the chromosomes in the cell nuclei of an organism or species.
what is ploidy - ANSWER ✔✔number of complete sets of
chromosomes in a cell
what is a haploid - ANSWER ✔✔a cell with one complete set of
chromosomes (n)
what is a diploid - ANSWER ✔✔a cell with two complete sets of
chromosomes (2n)
what are the phases of mitosis in order - ANSWER ✔✔- prophase
- prometaphase
- metaphase
- anaphase
- telophase
what occurs in prophase - ANSWER ✔✔- chromosomes condense
and become visible under a microscope
- microtubules assemble into the mitotic spindle
what occurs in prometaphase - ANSWER ✔✔- chromosomes attach
to the mitotic spindle
