T/F multicellular organisms also use cell division to repair and renew cells that die
true
A cell's genetic information, packaged as DNA is called its
genome
in porkaryotes the genome is a . .
single long DNA moleucule
in eukaryotes the genome consists of
several DNA moleucles
Human somatic cells have how many chromosomes?
46
Human gametes have how many chromosomes?
23
During animal cell cytokinesis what forms where the cell pinchest into two by a ring of actin micorfilaments
cleavage furrow
Kinetochores of joined sister chromatids face in what direction?
opposite
During the latter stages of prophase some spindle microtubules attach to what?
kinetochores
T/F spindle fibers shorten during anaphase fromthe end attached to the centrosome not the chromosome
false it shortens from the end attached to the chromosome not the centrosome
Prokayrotes repoduce by binary fission or mitosis?
binary fission
in. . . . . . , relipcated chromsomes are attached to the nulcear envelope
dinoflagellates
cyclic changes cause the cell cycle to. .
act as a clock with cell division occuring at regular intervals
During the latter stages of prophase some spindle microtubules attach to what?
kinetochores
T/F spindle fibers shorten during anaphase fromthe end attached to the centrosome not the chromosome
false it shortens from the end attached to the chromosome not the centrosome

There are three cirical chekc points for the cell cycle:
M, G1 and G2
A cell that receives a proper signal at the _______ checkpoint will usually complete the cycle and divid
G1
If a cell does not receive the proper signal at the G1 checkpoint it will leave the cell cycle and enter what is called
G0 or a non dividng cycle
what is one key type of molecule that is important in cell cycle regulation that activate or inactivate other enzymes
cyclin-dependent kinases
Cyclin-dependent kinases are in constant or fluctuateable amounts through the cycle
constant
Kinetochores not yet attached to spindle microtubules appear to create a protein that prevents a complex of proteins from doing what?
breaking down cyclins and inactivating the proteins holding the sister chromatids together
what divides rapidly and invade other tissues, disrupting the normal functioing of various organs, often have abnormalities and cord out cells that do act normally
cancer cells
T/F we may have many cancer cells in our lifetime
true but our immune system often detects thema nd removes them
when cancer cells evade detection by the immune system they can form a
benign tumor
when cancer cells spread to other tissues and organs they form secondary tumors and are called
malignant
What are the 4 phases of mitosis?
prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase
What is the first phase of mitosis?
prophase
What is the second phase of mitosis?
metaphase
What is the thrid phase of mitosis
anaphase
waht is the fourth phase of mitosis?
telophase
Which of the phases of mitosis loses the nucleolus and nuclear membrane allowing the chromosomes to migrate around cell
prophase
Which of the phases of mitosis is where the mitotic spindle begins to form and composed of centorsomes and microtubules
Prophase
The assmebly of spindle microtubules start in the. .. . .
centrosome
centrosome has a pair of . . . . in the center that direct the production of microtubules called . . . and . . . .
centrioles, asters and spindle fibers
Which of the phases of mitosis where chromosomes move up and line up in the equator
metaphase
Which of the phases of mitosis where microtubules form poles. Microtubules from each pole attach to different kinetechores
metaphase
Which of the phases of mitosis is wehre microtubules push chromatids until arranged at the metaphase plate
metaphse
Which of the phases of mitosis is wehre centromere start to divide into two parts each part attached to a sister chromatid
anaphase
Which of the phases of mitosis is where two groups of chromatids reach opposite poles
telophase
Which of the phases of mitosis is where cells begin to elongate as free spindle fibers from each centrosome push off each other
telophase
Which of the phases of mitosis is where cytokinesis usually beings
telophase
what is the divison of cytoplasm
cytokinesis
