Growth and Cell Reproduction
1. Cell Division – The process of one cell dividing into two daughter cells is called cell division.
Each daughter cell has an exact copy of the DNA found in the parent cell. (196)
2. Chromosomes – The structures made up of protein and DNA found inside the nucleus of a
eukaryotic cell are called chromosomes. Different organisms have different numbers of
chromosomes. (197)
3. Cell Cycle – The period of time from the beginning of one cell division to the beginning of the
next is called the cell cycle. It consists of 3 stages: interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis. (198)
4. Interphase – The period of time between cell divisions where a cell is just growing,
developing, and performing normal functions is called interphase. It is the longest stage of the
cell cycle. At the end of interphase the DNA (chromosomes) have doubled. Organelles like the
mitochondria also double in number. (198)
5. Mitosis – When the nucleus divides in eukaryotic cells to form two new nuclei this is the second
stage of the cell cycle called mitosis. Each new nucleus will have the same amount of identical
DNA as the original. There are four phases to mitosis: prophase, metaphase anaphase, and
telophase. The first clue that mitosis has started is the appearance if the chromosomes. (198)
6. Prophase – The first phase of mitosis is called prophase. In this phase the chromosomes are fully
visible, the nuclear membrane has disappeared, and the nucleolus has disappeared. (199)
7. Metaphase – The second phase of mitosis is called metaphase. In this phase the chromosomes
line up across the center and spindle fibers attach to each chromosome. (199)
8. Anaphase – The third phase of mitosis is called anaphase. In this phase the chromosomes split
and each half is pulled to opposite sides of the cell. (199)
9. Telophase – The last phase of mitosis is called telophase. In this phase the chromosomes
cluster in the center and a new nuclear membrane begins to form. The cell then begins to
separate. In animal cells they pinch in two, in plant cells a cell plate forms and grows outward
forming a new cell wall. (199)
10. Cytokinesis – The shortest stage of the cell cycle is called cytokineses. In this stage the cell
divides into two daughter cells each having an identical set of chromosomes in its nucleus. (198)
11. Reproduction – The formation of new organisms by the same species is called reproduction.
There are two types of reproduction: asexual reproduction, and sexual reproduction. (202)
12. Asexual Reproduction – Asexual reproduction is reproduction that requires only one parent.
Most single-celled organisms reproduce this way. Cell division (fission or cytokinesis) is
asexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction the DNA and cell structures are copied and the
new cells/organisms have the exact same DNA as the parent. There are two other forms of
asexual reproduction. One is called budding. In budding a new organism grows from a small bud
on the parent organism. The other form of asexual reproduction is called regeneration. In
regeneration a piece of a new organism grows from a piece of the parent. These will be
explained in class. (202)
13. Sexual Reproduction – In sexual reproduction the DNA that is passed on comes from two
parents. Special types of cells called sex cells are involved (sperm & egg). The sex cells have
half the number of chromosomes that the normal body cells do. Human body cells have 46
chromosomes. Human sex cells have 23 chromosomes. (202)
14. Homologous Chromosomes – In body cells the chromosomes exist in equivalent (equal) pairs.
This is called homologous. The pairs of chromosomes match each other, one from each parent.
Sex cells are not homologous. They contain only a single chromosome from each of the
homologous pairs. (202)
15. Meiosis – Meiosis is cell division that produces sex cells with only half the number of
chromosomes. During meiosis there are two divisions of the cell producing 4 sex cells. (203)
1st division ----The homologous pairs of chromosomes separate in the following steps:
- Chromosomes double the nuclear membrane disappears.
- Homologous chromosomes line up in the center and spindle fibers attach.
- Homologous pairs of chromosomes separate moving to opposite ends.
- Nuclear membrane reforms forming two new cells.
nd
2 division ---- The doubled chromosomes in the 2 new cells split in the following steps:
- The two new cells do not double their chromosomes.
- Chromosomes line up in the center (genes are exchanged).
- Chromosomes split in the center and are pulled to opposite sides.
- Nuclear membranes reform and four new cells are created.
- Each with half number of chromosomes as the original cell.
- Each with slightly different DNA.
16. Diploid & Haploid – When cells have a double set of chromosomes they are called diploid. All
of your body cells are diploid. When cells have only half a set of chromosomes, or only one set
from each homologous pair, they are called haploid. Sex cells are haploid. (205)
17. Fertilization and Zygotes – When a sperm cell combines with an egg cell (fertilization) the two
haploid cells create a fertilized egg cell called a zygote. The zygote is now a diploid cell with
two sets of chromosomes (homologous pairs), one set from each parent. (205)
18. Embryo – After fertilization the zygote rapidly divides by mitosis and becomes an embryo. An
embryo is an organism in its earliest stages of development. (206)
19. Cell differentiation - Cell differentiation is the process that cells go through as they begin to
specialize in different functions. Some become brain cells, some muscle cells, some skin
cells, etc. This forms tissues, then organs, and then organ systems. (206)
