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
