52 Cards in this Set
- Front
- Back
Chromatin |
- building material of chromosomes
- complex of DNA and proteins |
|
Chromosomes
|
- consist of one very long, linear DNA molecules with many protiens |
|
Duplicated chromosome |
- consists of two sister chromatids connected by sister chromatid cohesion |
|
Chromatid
|
- sister chromatids: joined copies of the original chromosome
|
|
Centrosome
|
- subcellular region containing material that functions thorough the cell cycle to organize the cell's microtubules |
|
Spindle Pole
|
where microtubules connect and extend from
|
|
Kinetochore
|
- a structure of proteins associated with specific sections of chromosomal DNA at each centromere |
|
Chromatin Condensation (tight packing)
|
- begins during prophase when the chromosomes become visible
|
|
Chromosome Decondensation (unpacking)
|
- during telophase when chromosomes become less condensed
|
|
Prophase
|
Step 1 of mitosis
- chromosomes condense - nucleoli disappear - miotic spindle begins to form |
|
Prometaphase
|
Step 2 of mitosis
- nuclear envelope fragments and microtubules extend from each pole - some attach to one kinetochore on each chromosome |
|
Metaphase
|
Step 3 of mitosis
- chromosomes convene at the metaphase plate |
|
Anaphase
|
Step 4 of mitosis
- sister chromatids separate and move to opposite ends of the cell - the cell elongates |
|
Telophase
|
Step 5 of mitosis
- daughter nuclei form - nucleoli reappear - chromosomes decondense |
|
Cytokenisis
|
in animals: |
|
Mitosis
|
- 10% of cell cycle
- used for growth, repair/regeneration - occurs in somatic (body) cells - produces daughter cells identical to the parent |
|
Meiosis
|
- used for reproduction only
- produces daughter cells with 1/2 the number of chromosomes as the parent |
|
M phase
|
miotic phase |
|
Interphase
|
- 90% of cell cycle
- the cell that is about to divide grows and copies its chromosomes in preparation for division |
|
G1 Phase
|
First gap of interphase: longest part
- cell grows to functional size - makes enzymes - makes nucleotides (building materials) |
|
S Phase
|
Synthesis of interphase
- chromosomes are copied (DNA synthesis) |
|
G2 Phase
|
Second gap of interphase
- cell grows even more - centrosome is duplicated (for microtubules) |
|
Frequencies of mitosis |
1) continuous -> skin, blood, GI tract cells (can re-enter cell cycle at G0) |
|
person who credited with first recognizing that living cells cannot arise spontaneously |
Rudolf Virchow |
|
the function of the mitotic cell cycle is to produce daughter cells that |
are genetically identical to the parent cell |
|
the complex of DNA and protein that makes up a eukaroytic chromosome is properly called |
chromatin |
|
the region a chromosome holding the two double strands or replicated DNA together is called |
centromere |
|
the centime is a region in which |
sister chromatids are attached to one another in prophase |
|
how many maternal chromosomes are present in a somatic human cell not engaged in cell divsion |
23 |
|
cytokinesis refers to |
division on the cytoplasm |
|
chromatids are |
identical copies of each other if they are part of the same chromsome |
|
DNA in cells double during which phase |
g1 and g2 phases |
|
during interphase the genetic material of a typical eukayortic cell is |
dispersed in the nucleus as long strands of chromatin |
|
DNA relpication occurs in |
the s phase of interphase in both somatic and reproductive cells |
|
if a somatic human cell in just about to divide it has |
92 chormosomes |
|
what does NOT occur during mitosis |
replication of chromsomes |
|
during what phase in the cell cycle would you find the most DNA per cell |
G2 |
|
in telophase of mitosis, the mitotic spindle breaks down and the chromatin uncoils. this is essentially the opposite of what happens in |
prophase |
|
which of the following phases of mitosis is essentially the opposite of pro metaphase in terms of the nuclear enevelope |
telophase |
|
when to the centrosomes seperate |
prophase |
|
following cytokinesis in an animal cell, how many centrioles does each new daughter cell poseses |
two |
|
the phase of mitosis during which the chromosome move toward the separate poles of the cell is |
anaphase |
|
one even occurring during g prophase is |
the beginning of the formation of a spindle appatatus |
|
during which stage of the cell cyle do sister chromatids seperate |
anaphase |
|
in animal cell mitosis the cleavage furrow forms during which stage of the cell cyle |
cytokensis |
|
at which stage of mitosis are chromosomes lined up in the one plane in preparation for their separation to opposite poles of the cell |
metaphase |
|
you would know a dividing cell was a plant cell rather than an animal cell if you saw that |
it had formed a cell plate |
|
what process doe not occur in diving bacteria |
mitosis |
|
during binary fission in bacterium |
the origins of replication move apart |
|
when a cell in S phase is fused with a cell in G1 |
DNA synthesis begins immediacy in the original G1 nucleus |
|
what would be unlikely to sees a human cell dividing |
nerve cell |
