By reproducing cells, an organism grows and develops into a matured being. It is necessary to develop certain skills and functions as time goes by, and that cannot happen without cells reproducing.
Back
centrioles?
Front
the things were spindle fibers come out of.
Back
Embryonic?
Front
Back
Telophase?
Front
A lot more apart, getting ready to split. Spindle fibers.
Back
How is a zygote created?
Front
Back
Induced Pluripotent?
Front
Back
What is cancer?
Front
Mutation in the cells, can be caused by genetic or environmental factors.
Back
Why do cells need to divide?
Front
Cell dies, Wound on body, Cells work/function better when small.
Back
Substitution Mutation?
Front
One base pair, subbed for another WRONG one.
Back
Prophase?
Front
Chromosomes start to become visible in nucleus.
Back
Which stage does the chromatids double?
Front
S phase.
Back
How can mutations be genetically or environmentally influenced?
Front
Genetically, can be passed down from parents, grandparents etc. blah blah.
Environmentally, = obesity, tobacco, pollution, UV light rays.
Healthy cell responds to cell mechanisms, does apoptosis, knows when to stop reproducing. Cancer = exact opposite.
Back
Missense Mutation?
Front
Codes wrong amino acids - no protein
Back
Insertion Mutation?
Front
Extra nucleotide is added.
Back
Interphase?
Front
Growing of cell, only nucleus is present.
Back
Anaphase?
Front
Opposite ends, drift slightly apart.
Back
centromere?
Front
connects the chromatids together.
Back
Deletion Mutation?
Front
Deletes one nucleotide, and moves everything over.
Back
Silent Mutation?
Front
Changed DNA produces correct protein somehow. Protein is MADE YAY.
Back
Checkpoints in Cancer?
Front
Checkpoints periodically check each of the cells in each phase to see if everything is going right. With cancer, it bypasses the checkpoint, as checkpoints become defective.
