Document Summary

Checkpoints during mitosis: the sequential events of the cell cycle are directed by a distinct cell cycle control systems direct cell cycle and have specific checkpoints. A go-ahead signal at the g1 checkpoint usually means completing s and g2 and m phases and dividing. If, the cell isn"t reading to progress it goes into the g0 phase, it is nondividing phase. Cancer cells disregard this and divide continuously. Locus: a genes specific position along a chromosome. Sex chromosomes: determine the sex of the individual x and y. Fertilization: union of the sperm and egg, they make a zygote (fertilized egg) Produces somatic cells by mitosis and develops into an adult. It is the beginning of a new embryo or a new offspring. Three events are unique to meiosis and all three occur in meiosis i. Synapsis and crossing over in prophase i: homologous chromosomes physically connect and exchange genetic information.
