20
Q

What occurs during metaphase?

A

the chromosomes are aligned at the equator of the spindle

21
Q

What occurs during anaphase?

A

sister chromatids separate to form 2 daughter cells

22
Q

What occurs during telophase?

A

the sister chromatids arrived at the poles and the spindle decondenses

23
Q

What occurs during cytokinesis?

A

the cytoplasm is divided in 2 by a conrtctile ring of actin and myosin filaments and creates 2 daughter cells

24
Q

This syndrome is characterized by prenatal growth retardation

A

Roberts syndrome

25
Q

Roberts syndrome is what kind of mutation?

A

Homozygous mutation of ESCO2

26
Q

Mitogens stimulate cell division by stimulated what activity?

A

G1/S-Cdk

27
Q

What can stimulate cell growth by stimulating protein synthesis and inhibiting protein degradation

A

Growth factor

28
Q

What extracellular signals control cell division?

A
  1. Mitogens
  2. Growth factors
  3. Survival factors
29
Q

Map Kinase leads to what?

A
  1. Growth
  2. Differentiation
  3. Apoptosis
30
Q

What stimulates cell division mainly by stimulating G1/S-Cdk activity that inhibit intracellular negative controls that block progression through the cell-cycle?

A

Mitogens

31
Q

What suppress programmed cell death (apoptosis)?

A

Survival factors

32
Q

What stimulate cell growth (increase in
cell mass) by stimulating protein synthesis and
inhibiting protein degradation?

A

Growth factors

33
Q

What is a major pathway of Mitogens?

A

Small GTPase Ras

34
Q

What leads to the activation of a MAP kinase cascade?

A

Ras

35
Q

MAP kinase cascade leads to activation of what?

A

Immediate early gene expression

36
Q

What is an example of an immediate early gene?

A

Myc

37
Q

What does Myc do?

A

Increases G1-Cdk by increasing expression of genes that encode G1 cyclins

Q

What is a key function of G1-Cdk?

A

Activate E2F proteins

39
Q

E2F proteins are typically inhibited by an interaction between

A

E2F and Rb family

40
Q

What are the 3 growth factors in EGF?

A
  1. ErK
  2. JAK/STAT pathway
  3. P13 kinase/AKT pathway
41
Q

What is associated with TGFb?

A

SMAD

42
Q

The activity of cyclin-CDK is further regulated by what molecule? This further phosphorylates Cdk and renders it inactive

A

Wee1

43
Q

After Wee1 renders Cdk inactive, what dephosphorylate and restores activity to the Cdk?

A

Cdc25 phosphatase

44
Q

Securin is involved in protecting the protein linkages that hold what together?

A
