This flashcard set covers the fundamentals of mitosis and cell division, suitable for secondary school biology students. It explores key phases like prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, detailing processes such as chromosome condensation, spindle formation, and the separation of sister chromatids. The set also touches on the cell cycle, including interphase and growth phases, and highlights the roles of cell division in growth, development, and asexual reproduction. Ideal for students and educators, it provides a comprehensive overview of how cells replicate and maintain genetic integrity, essential for understanding cellular biology and genetics.

Functions of Cell division

Asexual reproduction, growth and development, cell replacement

Asexual reproduction

an amoeba, a single-celled eukaryote, is dividing into two cells. each new cell will be an individual organism

Growth and development

The fertilised egg cell of a sea urchin divides. The division of cells enables a multicellular eukaryotes to develop from a single cell.

cell replacement

these dividing bone marrow cells will give rise to new blood cells. cell division functions in RENEWAL AND REPAIR, replacing cells that die from normal wear and tear accidents.

The cell cycle 

M-phase: (mitotic phase) cell division takes place, chromatin condenses into chromosomes

Interphase: 90% of cell cycle, uncoiled DNA called chromatin

G1-Phase: (G for Gap): growth and metabolic functions

S-Phase: (s for synthesis) DNA replication,G2-Phase: growth and preparation for mitosis

Mitosis in an animal cell

interphase: cell, nucleus, wirrwarr drin, (chromatin: dublicated DNA)

prophase; cell, nucleus, chromosomes drin (condense 2 grossi/chlini krütz), centrosome (grüne hütchen)

prometaphase: cell, fragments of nuclear envelope (nucleus), poles with centrosomes, kinetochore microtubules (spindle) grüne verbindung zw polen plus zu 4 chromosomes

metaphase: cell, kei nucleus, poles with centrosome, vo beidne pol verbindig zu chromosomes, mepaphase plate (imaginary)

anaphase: cells, pole with c. chromosomes sind usenandgrusse, sister chromatids 

telophase: cell zei mal mit nuclear envelope is formaing, cleavage furrow, chlini strichli drine chromosomes (become less condensed, cetrosomes ah de pole (ned ahgschribe) ==> two genetecally identical daughter cells

cytokenesis: zw telophase und neue interphase

prophase

the chromatin fibres become more thighly coiled, condensing into discrete chromosomes, while the nucleus starts to fragment, even though not ih the LM microscope visible, the mititic spindle begins to form

prometaphase

the chromosomes have become even more condensed and are thick enough to be seen individually in a light microscope. each chromosome exists as two identical sister chromatids joined together at the centromere. the nucleus disappears. the microtubules attach to the kinetochors

metaphase

the mitotic spindle is now fully formed. the chromosomes convene (line up) at the metaphase plate, a plane that is equidistant between the spindles two poles

anaphase

the chromatids of each chromosome seperate. the two sister chromstifs begin moving toward opposite ends of the cell as their kinetochore mcrotubules shorten

telophase

the chromosomes become less condensed. two daughter nuclei has been formed in the cell. the division of the cytoplasm is well under way and vesicles forming the cell plate ar visible

eukaryotic chromosomes

chromosome, two sister chromatids (both have genetically identical DNA (gens), ih de mitti centromer, wie blueme mit 4 blätter

take home message

in the process of mitosis two sister chromatids of a chromosome are seperated and distributed to two genetically identical daughter cells
