Chromatin |
The genetic material of the cell, made of DNA and histone proteins |
|
What holds together the sister chromatids during cell division |
A centromere |
|
The division of the genetic material in the nucleus |
The division of the genetic material in the nucleus |
|
Cell cycle: Interphase |
During G1 cells grow, organelles replicate, the cell carries out normal functions. During synthesis the cell replicates DNA, during G2 The cell goes through final preparation before cell division |
|
Mitosis: prophase |
Centrosomes Migrate to opposite poles of the cell and organize microtubules into the spindle, chromatin condenses into distinct chromosomes |
|
Mitosis: prometaphase |
Nuclear membrane breaks up, the nucleolus disappears, spindle fibers attached to sister chromatid pairs |
|
Kinetochore |
Where the spindle fibers attached to sister chromatid pairs during prometaphase |
|
Mitosis: metaphase |
Spindle fibers move sister chromatid pairs to the metaphase plate where the spindle fibers lineup |
|
Anaphase |
Spindle fibers shorten and pull the sister chromatids apart, individual chromosomes move to opposite poles of the cell |
|
Mitosis: Telophase |
Spindle breaks down, nuclear membrane reforms and nucleolus reappears, chromosomes uncoil |
|
Cell Cycle: Cytokinesis |
When the two cells are splitting apart, division of the cytoplasm, microfilaments cause cleavage Furrough and animal cells, so plate causes division in plant cells |
|
Steps of mitosis |
Prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase |
|
Steps of the cell cycle |
Interphase, M phase or mitosis, Cytokinesis |
|
Nerve cells, muscle cells |
Nerve cells, muscle cells |
|
G1 checkpoint |
Checks for size, growth factors stimulate growth for this checkpoint |
|
Checks for DNA replication, has all DNA replicated successfully |
Checks for DNA replication, has all DNA replicated successfully |
|
G2 checkpoint |
Is there enough MPF or maturation promoting factor |
|
What makes MPF Or maturation promoting factor |
Cyclin independent kinase plus cyclin. Cyclin Builds up during interphase and then binds to CDK to make MPF |
|
What does MPF do you |
Triggers events necessary for successful cell division like successful DNA replication, condensation of chromatin, formation of spindle, breakdown of the nuclear membrane and nucleolus, degradation of the cyclin |
|
Are all sister chromatid pairs attached to spindle fiber, if so APC or Anaphase promoting complex is produced |
Are all sister chromatid pairs attached to spindle fiber, if so APC or Anaphase promoting complex is produced |
|
Density dependent inhibition |
Cells continue to divide until they come in contact with each other and then they stop |
|
Anchorage dependence |
Normal cells must be attached to a substrate in order to divide |
|
Nonmoving segments of DNA found at the tips of chromosomes |
Nonmoving segments of DNA found at the tips of chromosomes |
|
Telomere shortening |
Every time the cell divides the telomeres wear away until they get too short then cell division stops and the cell dies |
|
Binary fission |
Occurs in prokaryotic cells, there is no nucleus so no my ptosis consists of S face and cytokinesis |
|
Somatic cell |
Body cell, every cell in your body except your eggs and sperm |
|
When a single individual passes all of its jeans to its offspring without the fusion of gametes creating a genetically identical offspring, good when mates are scarce and environment is stable |
When a single individual passes all of its jeans to its offspring without the fusion of gametes creating a genetically identical offspring, good when mates are scarce and environment is stable |
|
Meiosis one: prophase one |
Chromatin condenses, spindles form, nuclear membrane and nucleolus fragment, Homologous Chromosome pairs form tetrads through synapsis, nonsister chromatids exchange genetic material during cross over at the Chiasma |
|
Metaphase |
Tetrads lineup at the equator |
|
Anaphase |
Tetrad split in sister chromatid pairs move to opposite poles |
|
Meiosis one: Telophase 1 |
Spindle breaks down, nuclear envelope and nucleolus reform, chromosomes uncoil, cytokinesis – forms two haploid daughter cells |
|
Meiosis two |
Everything is the same except there is no replication during interphase two. Also working with sister chromatid pairs instead of tetrads, creates for non-identical haploid cells during telophase two |
|
Independent assortment |
Homologous chromosome pairs lineup randomly in metaphase one, number of possible combinations equals 2^number of dif chromosomes |
|
Crossing over |
Produces recombinant chromosomes which combined DNA inherited from each parent happens during prophase one |
|
Segment of DNA that codes for a product often a protein |
Segment of DNA that codes for a product often a protein |
|
Allele |
Different forms of a gene |
|
Principle of segregation |
During the formation of gametes during meiosis Allele pairs are separated from one another |
|
Complete dominance |
Occurs when phenotypes of the heterozygote and dominant homozygote are identical |
|
phenotype F1 hybrids is somewhere between the phenotypes of the two parental varieties |
phenotype F1 hybrids is somewhere between the phenotypes of the two parental varieties |
|
Codominance |
The dominant allele affects the phenotype in separate distinguishable ways both expressed |
|
Multiple allele inheritance |
When there are more than to alleles for a trait |
|
Pleiotropy |
Genes that have multiple phenotypic affects |
|
Epistasis |
One pair of genes affects the expression of a second pair |
|
Sex linked traits |
Genes or traits located on the sex chromosomes, usually the X chromosome, happen more often in males |
|
X inactivation |
One of the two X chromosomes in each female cell is randomly activated during embryonic development, the in active X condenses into a barr body |
|
Recombinant frequency |
Add recombinants (two lowest numbers)/Total offspring |
|
Nondisjunction |
When homologous chromosomes don’t separate the way they were supposed to, leading to a change in chromosome number happens during meiosis one and two |
|
Aneuploidy |
Result of nondisjunction, Down syndrome, trisomy 21 |
|
Polyploidy |
All chromosomes are inherited, happens mostly in plants |
|
Genomic imprinting |
For a few million treats, the phenotype depends on which parent passed a long alleles of those traits |
|
Extranuclear genes or cytoplasmic genes |
Found in organelles in the cytoplasm, mitochondria, chloroplasts, and other plant plastids Carrie circular DNA molecules, inherited maternally |
