12 And 13 Flashcards
Chromatids remain attached to one another until anaphase what is the name of the region in which they are attached?
Centromere
Describe anaphase.
Replicated chromosomes are split and move to opposite sides of the cell
What is the centrosome and what originates from it?
Help move dna strands
At what point in the cell cycle and what stages of mitosis are chromosomes composed of two chromatids?
S phase and Metaphase and interphase
What would you expect to see in terms of cell division during the G0 stage of the cell cycle?
Differentiated cell
What is PDGF and when/where might we see it?
Growth factor seen in mitosis
What is protein kinase(phosphate groups)?
Can activate or inactivate other proteins
What is cyclin?
Protein that helps drive the cell cycle, protein that forms catalytically active complexes
Cdk
Cyllin dependent kinesis enzyme
What factor allows the cell to pass from G2 into mitosis?
Mpf says the cell is mature enough to reproduce
What are the longest and shortest part of the cell cycle
Longest is g1, and shortest is mitosis phase
What is a genome?
, all genetic information full set of genes
What are the characteristics of metaphase 1
Chromosomes are aligned and the alignment determines the independent assortment
Explain what happens during prophase
Chromosomes become visible as paired chromatids, nuclear envelope disappears
During what stage are chromatids separated from each other
When meiosis has concluded
