AQA AS Biology Unit 2 The Cell cycle
Cards in this deck (10)
- 1Semi-conservative replicationThe way DNA makes exact copies of itself by unwinding the double helix. Each chain acts as a template for the new strands
- 2MitosisCell division where 2 daughter cells are produced that have the same number of chromosomes as the parent. (diploid cells)
- 3Meiosisa type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell (haploid cells)
- 4HaploidCells that have half the number of chromosomes (gametes)
- 5DiploidCells that have a full set of chromosomes
- 6ProphaseChromosomes become visible, nuclear envelope disappears.
- 7MetaphaseChromosomes align along equator of cell
- 8AnaphaseChromatids move to opposite poles
- 9TelophaseNuclear envelope reforms
- 10Cell cycleA cells regular cycle of division, followed by periods of growth (interphase)
