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)

What happens to the cell if there is no go ahead signal

It stays in the same place

Mitotic spindle, what does it have

Centrosome, aster, spindle Microtubules

Draw pic of pro met

Prophase metaphase pic

Golgi makes cell plate

Yaya

Golgi makes cell plate
