Study Notes
Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cells
- Prokaryotes have circular chromosomes
- Prokaryotes have a single chromosome
- Prokaryotes' chromosomes are located in the cytoplasm
- Eukaryotes have linear chromosomes
- Eukaryotes have multiple chromosomes
- Eukaryotes' chromosomes are located in the nucleus
Binary Fission Steps
- Step 1: Chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles
- Step 2: Chromosomes are replicated
- Step 3: Cytoplasm splits resulting in identical daughter cells
Eukaryotic Cell Division
- Mitosis divides the nucleus
- Cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm
- Daughter cells are diploid and genetically identical
Cell Cycle Phases
- Interphase is the phase where cells spend most of their time
- Interphase includes G1, S, and G2
- G1 phase: Growth, metabolic activities, protein production
- S phase: DNA replication
- G2 phase: Short period of growth, organelles produced
- Mitosis includes the division of the nucleus by separating chromosomes in the following phases:
- G0 phase is a resting phase where the cell does not divide
Cell Cycle Vocab
- Binary Fission: Prokaryotic cell division
- Parent Cell: The starting cell that divides
- Interphase: The phase where the cell spends most of its life, including G1, S, and G2.
- Mitosis: The process of chromosome separation leading to two identical nuclei.
- Cellular Senescence: The point when normal, diploid cells lose their ability to divide.
- Cytokinesis: The process of cytoplasm division forming two separate daughter cells.
- Daughter Cell: The new cell that forms from the division process.
