What happens in INTERPHASE, part 1?
|
1. The DNA get copied.
2. It makes PROTEINS 3. It grows a little bit. |
|
What happens in INTERPHASE, part 2?
|
The DNA condenses into 46 chromosomes.
|
|
What happens in PROPHASE?
|
Now there are 92 chromosomes.
They are all connected together(paired). The nuclear membrane breaks and goes away. |
|
What happens in METAPHASE?
|
Spindle fibers appear. They go from the horizontal poles and attach to the paired chromosomes.
The chromosomes line up in the middle. |
|
What happens in ANAPHASE?
|
The paired chromosomes get PULLED APART toward the East - West POLES
|
|
What is MITOSIS
|
The process where a cell divides into two identical cells.
|
|
What is a CHROMOSOME?
|
Tightly coiled (packaged) DNA in the nucleus.
|
|
How many chromosomes are in a human cell?
|
46 -- 23 from your Dad and 23 from your Mom.

|
What is a GENE?
|
A section of DNA that codes for a specific protein.
|
|
What is a GENOTYPE?
|
What gene you have -- example AA, Aa, aa
|
|
What's a PHENOTYPE?
|
A physical characteristic that results from your gene type. Like you have the Phenotype Brown Eyes because you have the Genotype AA.
|
|
What is an ALLELE?
|
A different form of the same gene (AA, Aa, aa )
|
|
What happens in TELOPHASE?
|
The nucleus forms again (reforms).
The cell membrane pinches in so it can split into 2 identical cells. |
|
What happens in CYTOKINESIS?
|
There are now TWO cells where there used to be ONE. MITOSIS is done. Each new cell is called a DAUGHTER cell.
|
|
What is a MUTATION?
|
When there is a MISTAKE or an ERROR when the DNA is copied.
|
