The Cell C Cycle in Yourr Body • the _ ___________ _____ _____ ___________ _is responsibble for the _________________and development of aall your bodyy cells • we alll started out as a _____ ___________ _cell, but thrrough the prrocess of _________________, we haave became a living ___ ___________ ___composeed of hundreeds of _________________of cells working together Reggeneration • Cut _ ___________ _____– usuaally heal in sh hort amountt of time • _____ __________ __breaks – taake longer • This is because of mitosis – capable of re epairing injurred ________________ • _____ __________ __of injured cells or makking of lost bbody parts = ________________ Aging • Agingg – we age b because as ce ells _______ _________, eeither they aare not replaaced or replaaced _____ __________ __ • Results in change e of _______ _________and ________________off major bodyy systems • Skin _ __________ ______, bone es lose ____ _____________, immune system is _________________ -Sexual reproduction is reproduction that includes _______ - a _______ requires imput from another. - The result is _______, not identical to __________. - Before ________ reproduction can take place, _____ ________ must be created. - _________ is the process which produces sex cells. Before we can look at the stages of meiosis, we must first understand what a few words mean... - The end product of meiosis is sex cells with ______ the amount of ____________ that was present in each ______. - This state is called ___________. - At the beginning of __________, cells have a complete set of information (e.g. 2X5 = 10) - We call it __________ or ____. - Through meiosis, you create a ______ - 5 - We call it __________ or _____. - Diploid = ____________ - Haploid = ________ Another new word... -You have ____ __________ in your body cells. -If you were to study these chromosomes through a microscope, you would discover that your 46 chromosomes could be arranged into ____ _____ that resemble each other in _______ and _______. -These "_________" pairs of chromosomes are called ___________ _______. - During meiosis, homologous pairs of chromosomes ______ _____ before __________ takes place. Stages of Meiosis Meiosis is a process that produces ______ ____ _______, from _____ cells. In order to do this, there must be _____ ______ of chromosomes. Let's take a look at this process... Interphase: Prophase I: Metaphase I: - Chromosomes are ________ - Chromosomes appear as _______ coils (_______) at the start, but each chromatin, and its copy begin ________ in order to become visible as individual chromosomes by the end of this phase. - _______ (poles) appear and begin to move to _________ ends of the cell - ________________ _____________ pair up - __________ ____________ begins to break down - _____________ chromosomes line up along the ________ of the cell - homologous chromosomes ________ and begin to move to __________ ends of the cell Anaphase I: Telophase I: - _______ new _________ form - cell ________ _______ inward to create two ___________ cells that have their own ___________ and _______ the number of chromosomes (two cells are now __________, but chromosomes are still in _________.) Stages of Meiosis -Meiosis II is essentially the same as __________. The important difference is that meiosis II starts with a __________ cell. -Also, at the end of meiosis II, you end up with _____ _______ _______ cells. -So, the end result of meiosis is ___ ________ cells, and the end result of mitosis is _____ _________ cells.
