Karteikarten: Cell Cycle and Division Fundamentals — 12 Karten

Cell types involved in cycle — definition?

Somatic and germinal lineage cells.

Interphase phases — key events?

Growth, DNA replication, preparation for division.

Mitosis — phases?

Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase.

Meiosis — purpose?

Produce haploid, genetically diverse gametes.

Cell cycle checkpoints — role?

Ensure proper division and maintain genomic stability.

Mitosis vs meiosis — difference?

One vs two divisions; identical vs diverse daughter cells.

Cytokinesis — function?

Divides cytoplasm, forms two daughter cells.

Germinal cells — location?

Gonads: ovaries and testicles.

Biological significance of mitosis?

Growth, tissue repair, cell renewal.

Biological significance of meiosis?

Genetic diversity, species continuity.

Cell cycle in somatic cells?

Includes mitosis, no meiosis.

Interphase — key feature?

Preparation for cell division.
