Process that all body cells from multicellular organisms use to grow and divide.
1 of 18
What stage takes up the majority of the cell cycle
Interphase
2 of 18
What happens in interphase?
Growth stage where organelles and DNA are replicated. Production of ATP and protein synthesis. Most importantly where DNA is checked for errors.
3 of 18
What happens in propase?
Chromosomes condense and coil. Centrioles move outwards and spindle forms. Nuclear envelope breaks down.
4 of 18
What happens in metaphase?
Chromosomes line up along middle of cell. Spindle attached to centromere
5 of 18
What happens in anaphase?
Centromere divides seperation sister chromatids. Pulled by spindle contracting. Goes to opposite poles of the cell.
6 of 18
Telophase
Chromatid reach opposite poles. Uncoil and become chromosomes. Nuclear envelope reforms around two nuclei. Cytoplasm divides for animal cell where for plant cell cell wall plate forms.

Staining chromsomes.
Use acetic orcene to identify what point of cell division particular cells are in.
8 of 18
Product and use of mitosis.
Asexual reproduction (diploid), growth of tissue/cell, repair of tissue/cell.
9 of 18
Product and use of meiosis.
Sexual reproduction (haploid), growth of cell/tissue, repair of tissue/cell.
10 of 18
What happens during budding.
A bud forms at surface of cell, cell goes through interphase. Organelles and DNA material travels into bud. Bud separates and is genertically identical.
11 of 18
What are stem cell?
Unspecialised cells which can differentiate into any type of cell. Found in early embryo.
12 of 18
Where are stem cells found in humans?
Bone marrow. Contain stem cells for blood vessels.
13 of 18
Where are stem cells found in plants?
Cambium which can differentiate into xylem or phloem.
14 of 18
How are neutrophils specialised?
Flexible shape to engulf foreign particles. Lysosomes to break down engulfed particle.
15 of 18
How are erythocytes specialised?
Biconcave shape for large surface area. No nucleus to pack haemoglobin in.
16 of 18
How are Epithelial cell specialised?
Large surface area. Thin (squamous) . Move particles by tiny hair-like cilia.
17 of 18
How are sperm cells specialised?
Flagellum so can swim. Mitochondria for energy. Acrosome to penetrate egg surface.
