Cell cycle |
The life of a cell from formation to its own division |
|
Genome |
All the DNA in a cell, can be single DNA molecule or more than one |
|
Chromatin |
Eukaryotes have them. complex (intermediate step) of and DNA and protein |
|
Somatic cells |
Nonreproductive. Have two sets of chromosomes |
|
Gametes |
Reproductive cells, have half as many chromosomes as somatic cells |
|
Sister chromatids |
A duplicated chromosome has two sister chromatids, which is joined copies of the original Chromosome, attached by cohesins |
|
Centronomers |
Narrow waist of the duplicated chromosome, where the two chromatids are most closely attached |
|
Interphase |
Cell growth and copying of chromosomes in preparation for cell division G1: first gap S: synthesis G2: second gap |
|
Mitosis:mitotic phase |
The division of the genetic material in the nucleus |
|
Cytokinesis:mitotic phase |
The division of the cytoplasm |
|
Mitosis divided into five phases |
Prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase |
|
Prophase |
Prophase |
|
Mitotic spindle |
Structure made of Microtubules that controls chromosome movement during mitosis. Has centrosomes, aster, spindle microtubles |
|
Centrosome |
in animal cells, assembly of spindle Microtubules begins in the centrosome, the Microtubule organizing center. Centrosome replicates during interphase, then split to opposite sides of the cell during prophase and prometaphase |
|
Spindle Microtubules |
????? |
|
Aster |
A radial array of short Microtubules, extends from each centrosome |
|
Kinetochores |
Protein complexes associated with centromeres |
|
Nonkinetochore |
???? |
|
Cytokinesis |
Begins during anaphase or telophase and the spindle eventually disassembles |
|
Cleavage furrow |
In animal cells, cytokinesis occurs by cleavage, forming cleavage furrow |
|
Cell plate |
In plants, a cell plate forms during cytokinesis |
|
Checkpoints of cell cycle |
Like a clock, when a checkpoint is reached it stops until it gets a signal to continue. G1 s g2 m |
|
Prometaphase |
|
|
Metaphase |
|
|
Anaphase |
|
|
Telophase |
|
|
Organisms are dependent on cell division for what three events |
1. Development from a fertilized cell 2. Growth 3. Repair |
|
Cell division is an integral part of what cycle |
Cell cycle |
|
What results from most cell division |
Genetically identical daughter cells, same DNA |
|
At what stage of the cell cycle do cells duplicate their genetic material |
S phase |
|
What are chromosomes composed of |
Chromosomes are composed of DNA molecules, ?? |
|
Do all eukaryotic species share the same number of chromosomes |
No |
|
Within the eukaryotic species, which types of cells possess all the chromosomes inherited from both parents |
Somatic cells? |
|
Which cells only contain half of the number of chromosomes |
Gametes |
|
What two cells are gametes |
Sperm and egg cells |
|
In preparation for cell division, how does the DNA behave, what do the chromosomes look like |
DNA is replicated. Chromosomes condense |
|
How are sister chromosomes held together during interphase, prophase, and metaphase |
1. Interphase 2. Prophase 3. Metaphase??? |
|
During cell division what do the two cell chromatids do |
Separate and move into the nuclei |
|
When are chromatids called chromosomes |
Once separate they are called chromosomes |
|
In eukaryotic cells, cell division consists of what 2 stages |
Mitosis:the division of genetic material in the nucleus. Cytokinesis: the division of the cytoplasm |
|
Name the two phases of the cell cycle |
Mitotic phase(mitosis and cytokinesis) Interphase(cell growth and copying of chromosomes in preparation for cell division) |
|
Which of the two phases is the longest in the cell cycle |
Interphase |
|
What are the three specific subphases in interphase |
G1(first gap) s(synthesis) g2(second gap) |
|
What happens to the cell during all three phases |
The cell grows during all three phases, but chromosomes are only duplicated in the s phase |
|
When are chromosomes duplicated |
Only during s phase |
|
Name and describe the 5 specific stages of motosis |
Prophase first phase, chromosomes become paired chromatids, nuclear envelope disappears Prometaphase, second phase of mitosis, the process that separates duplicated genetic material into two daughter cells...Spindle Microtubules attach to kinetochores Metaphase, second stage of cell division, between prophase and anaphase, chromosomes become attached to spindle fibers... Chromosomes lined up at metaphase plate, plane midway between spindles two poles Anaphase, chromosomes move away from one another to the opposite poles of the spindle Telophase chromatids move to opposite ends of the cells and two nuclei are formed |
|
What event occurs during the latter stages of mitosis |
Creation of two nuclei |
|
What cellular machinery controls movement of chromosomes during mitosis |
Mitotic spindle |
|
When and how does the assembly of spindle Microtubules begin in animal cells |
Begins in centrosome, the centrosome replicates during interphase forming two centrosomes that move to opposite sides of the cell |
|
What other name is given to the centrosome |
??? |
|
At which stage does the centrosome replicate, how many centrosomes results |
Anaphase, 2 |
|
What do the centrosomes do during prophase and prometaphase |
Prophase: move away from each other Prometaphase: help Microtubules invade nuclear area ?? |
|
Memorize details of what happens to the centrosome, spindle fibers, and chromosomes during prophase metaphase anaphase and telophase |
??? |
|
Describe the events of cytokinesis, when does it begin |
Begins during the anaphase or telophase and the spindle eventually disassembles |
|
Describe cytokinesis in plant and animal cells |
Plant: a cell plate forms Animal: occurs by process of cleavage, forming cleavage furrow |
|
Understand the critical checkpoints of a cell cycle, for example what happens when a cell receives a go-ahead from a g1 checkpoint |
It moves to s(synthesis) |
