Interphase Events
G1, S, G2
G1 - cell rapidly grows
S - Chromosomes duplicated
G2 - duplicating things
Prophase events
OPPOSITE of Telophase
Chromatin supercoiled by Histones
Nucleus breaks down
Spindle fibers form spindle apparatus
Centrioles move to opposite ends
Metaphase events
Chromosomes attach to spindle fibers and line up in the middle of the cell
Anaphase events
centromeres break in half and chromatids pulled apart
Telophase
chromosomes uncoil
Spindle fibers break down
Two nuclei reform
Cell membrane pinches inward
Meiosis I
separates homologous pairs from one another in anaphase I
Synapsis
when homologous chromosomes pair up with one another
Crossing over
when non-sister chromatids of a homologous pair exchange genes
Meiosis II
separates sister chromatids (similar to mitosis) in anaphase II
Independent assortment
Metaphase I, chromosome pairs line up randomly in double-file on metaphase plate
3 homologous pair traits
same size, shape, and genes in the same position (banding pattern)
Kinetochore fibers job
separate chromatids
Polar fibers job
overlap and elongate the cell
Tumor
abnormal growth of cells
Benign tumor
if abnormal cells remain at original site and don’t spread
Malignant tumor
moving tumors that spread
Metastasis
spread of cancer via circulatory system
Sarcoma
tissues that support the body
Carcinomas
external or internal coverings
Leukemias and lymphomas
blood-forming tissues
Slash
surgery
Poison
chemo
Burn
radiation
