Mitosis Notes
Biology
Interphase
• DNA is _________________ (# of chromosomes doubles)
• DNA appears as ______________________ (chromatin) at the start, but change to __________________________ at the end of this phase.
Prophase
• __________________________ (cell begins to divide)
• ___________________ appear and begin to move to __________________ ________________________ of cell (only in animal cells)
• ____________________________ form between the poles (made of microtubules)
• ____________________________ starts to disappear
Metaphase
• ________________________ attach to the spindle fibers at the ________________ of the cell.
Anaphase
• ______________________________ when the ____________________________ and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell (spindle fiber ___________________).
Telophase
• ______________________________________
• Chromosomes appear as ________________________
• Spindle fibers _______________________ and disappear
Cytokinesis
• Cell membrane moves inward to create __________________________ - each with its own nucleus with __________________________
Control of the Cell Cycle
• Controlled by enzymes called _________________ and _____________________________ _______________________
1. ________________________________ (G1): decide whether the cell will divide
2. ________________________________ (G2): checks DNA replication
3. ________________________________ (M): triggers exit from mitosis
Cancer
• ___________________ division of cells
• Cancer cells ______________________________ to the body’s control mechanisms.
Apoptosis
• Programmed ______________________________
• Cells that are no longer _____________________
• _________________ fingers and toes
• __________________ cells
• _________________ leaves
Stem Cells
• _______________________ cells that can be programmed to develop into ________________________ cells
• ______________________ - 100-150 stem cells
• Adult stem cells – also called __________________ stem cells
