Replication |
Replication occurs during the S phase
Replication - making of DNA DNA - genetic information of the cell; double strand Nucleotide - Building blocks of nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) - made up of nitrogenous base, a 5 carbon sugar, and a phosphate group |

|
|
Continuous Synthesis of DNA
|
Occurs in a C5' c3' direction
DNA polymerase works towards the unzipping |
|
Discontinuous Synthesis
|
Occurs with lagging strand of DNA replication
Makes fragments of DNA that get bound together DNA polymerase works away from the unzipping |
|

|
Mitosis vs. Meiosis
|
Mitosis occurs in somatic cells and each new cell has 2n number of chromosomes
Meiosis occurs in sex cells and each new cell has 1n number of chromosomes |
|
Prophase
|
Spindle fibers appear
Paired chromosomes can be seen Nucleoli disappear |
|
Metaphase
|
Chromatids line up
|
|
Anaphase
|
Chromatids start to separate
Daughter chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of cell |
|
Telophase
|
Nuclear membrane reforms
Cell prepares to return to Interphase |
|
Homologous Pairing
|
The two members of each pair of chromosomes are known as homologous chromosomes
|
|
Crossing Over
|
If adjacent chromatids overlap and switch sections
|
|

Cytoplasmic activity
Yields 2 ATPs by direct substrate phosphorylation and 2 hydrogen pairs which are shuttled to the mitochondria for a yield of either 4 or 6 ATPs; making a total of 6 or 8 ATPs depending on the tissue's shuttle system This is Anaerobic - it occurs in the absence of oxygen Results in the development of lactic acid This anaerobic pathway is called the Embden-Meyerhof Pathway |
|

Mitochondrial activity
Yield for 2 pyruvate molecules is 10 hydrogen pairs which yield 28 ATPs after going through the Hydrogen Transport system |
|
Citric Acid Cycle
|
8 of the hydrogen pairs enter the hydrogen transport system at NAD and yield 24 ATPs
2 of the hydrogen pairs enter the system at FAD and yield 4 ATPs Total yield for citric acid cycle is 28 ATPs |
|
Hydrogen Transport System
|
NAD - Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide

|
Hydrogen Transport System
|
NAD, FAD, and cytpchromes are mitochondrial compounds
They all participate in oxidation and reduction activities with hydrogen that result in energy that is harnessed (saved) by the cell in the form of ATP Other forms of energy include ADP and GTP GTP is the main source of energy used during repilcation, transcripton, and translation |
