What is apoptosis essential for |
A normal nervous system, for the operation of the immune system, and for normal morphogenetic of hands and feet in humans |
|
What is the cell cycle |
Is the life of a cell from the time it is formed from a dividing parent cell until it’s own division into two cells |

|
What are the primary events of Interphase |
1. G1 phase: the cell grows while carrying out cell functions unique to its cell type 2. S phase: the cell continues to carry out to its unique functions it also duplicates its chromosomes. 3. G2 phase: is the period after the chromosomes have been duplicated and just before mitosis. The cell continues to grow and carry out its functions during this time. |
|
What happens during prophase |
1. Chromosomes become more tightly coiled into discreet chromosomes 2. Nucleoli disappear 3. The mitotic spindle ( consisting of microtubules extending from the two centrosomes) begins to form in the cytoplasm |
|
What happens during prometaphase |
1. The nuclear envelope begins to fragment allowing the microtubules to attach to the chromosomes 2. The two chromatids of each chromosome are held together by the centromere. The centromere contains protein kinetochores on each chromatid where the microtubules attach |
|
What happens in Metaphase |
1. The microtubules move the chromosomes to the metaphase plate at the equator of the cell. The microtubule complex is referred to as the spindle 2. The centrioles have migrated to opposite poles in the cell riding along on the developing spindle |
|
What happens during anaphase |
1. Sister chromatids begin to separate pulled apart by motor molecules interacting with kinetochore microtubules and the cell elongates 2. By the end of anaphase the opposite ends of the cell both contain complete and equal sets of chromosomes. |
|
What happens during telophase |
1. The nuclear envelopes reform around the sets of chromosomes locate at opposite ends of the cell 2. The chromatin fiber of the chromosomes becomes less condensed |
