Study Notes
Cell Division and Reproduction Concepts
- Binary Fission: Bacterial division process resulting in two identical daughter cells.
- Mitosis: Somatic cell division producing two genetically identical daughter cells.
- Asexual Reproduction: Reproduction involving a single parent, offspring are clones of the parent.
Regenerative Processes
- Regeneration: Ability of certain organisms to regrow limbs or produce identical individuals from body fragments via mitosis.
Cell Cycle Stages
- Interphase: Phase between divisions; cells grow and replicate DNA.
Mitosis Stages
- Prophase: Nuclear envelope disintegrates; chromosomes become visible.
- Metaphase: Sister chromatids align at the cell's equator.
- Anaphase: Sister chromatids are pulled apart towards opposite cell poles.
- Telophase: Nuclear envelopes reform around separated sets of chromosomes to create two nuclei.
Cytokinesis
- Cytokinesis: Final phase of mitosis; cytoplasm divides, yielding two new cells.
- Cell Plate: Structure in plants that supports the division of the cell wall during cytokinesis.
- Cleavage Furrow: Process in animal cells where the membrane pinches to form two separate cells.
Structural Components
- Sister Chromatids: Identical chromosomes joined at the centromere after DNA replication.
- Spindle Fibers: Microtubules that attach to sister chromatids and facilitate their movement during mitosis.
- Centrioles: Pair of structures in animal cells that serve as anchors for spindle fibers during division.
