Q

Histone

A

Globular protein that assist in DNA packaging in eukaryotes. ____ form octamers around which DNA is wound to form a nucleosome.

35
Q

Supercoiled

A

refers to the over-winding of a DNA strand, and is an expression of the strain on the polymer. _____ is important in a number of biological processes, such as compacting DNA.

36
Q

Replicate DNA, Replicate Organelles, Separate the DNA and organelles, divide the cytoplasm

A

4 things cells must do to divide

37
Q

cytokinesis

A

Division of the cytoplasm during cell division

38
Q

Kinetochore

A

A specialized region on a chromosome centromere. A set of proteins that provide the point of attachment of spindle fibers.

39
Q

centromere

A

a region of specialized chromatin found within each constricted chromosome that provides the foundation for kinetochore assembly and serves as a site for sister chromatid attachment

40
Q

Sister Chromatids

A

Two identical copies of a eukaryotic chromosome that are held together at the centromere. Each chromatid consists of a single DNA molecule.

41
Q

Interphase

A

Cell grows, performs its normal functions, and prepares for division; consists of G1, S, and G2 phases. About 90% of the cell life is spent here. (20min to several weeks)

42
Q

G1

A

In interphase - cell grows rapidly, builds new organelles; also performs regular cell functions.

43
Q

S

A

The synthesis phase of the cell cycle; the portion of interphase during which DNA is replicated. DNA is uncoiled during this stage. Kinetochore is duplicated.

44
Q

G2

A

Final preparation phase. Cell checks for DNA errors and begins to form centrosomes. (Prepares for Mitosis)

45
Q

Mitosis

A

Cell’s division (PMAT) of the nucleus. Final product is 2 cells that are exactly like the parent cell. (10% of the cell cycle)

46
Q

Prophase

A

Centrioles move to opposite ends and DNA coils into chromosomes. Nucleoli become obscure. Chromatin begin to condense. Spindle apparatus beings to form later in the stage.

47
Q

Prometaphase

A

The second stage of mitosis, in which discrete chromosomes consisting of identical sister chromatids appear, the nuclear envelope fragments, and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the chromosomes.

48
Q

Metaphase

A

Very brief period. Centromeres of duplicated chromosomes are aligned at metaphase plate (middle of cell). Fully formed spindle attach to the sister chromatids from opposite poles. Cohesions are degraded, kinetochore microtubules pull them apart. Ends when sister chromatids split.

49
Q

depolymerizing

A

Kinetochores move by _____ tubulin subunits using motor proteins.

50
Q

Anaphase

A

Chromosomes move towards outer ends of cell & are pulled apart by the microtubules. Phase ends when chromosomes are widely separated. Cytokenisis usually beings around this time.

51
Q

Telophase

A

reverse of prophase Spindles disappear, nuclear membrane forms, nucleoli reappear, ends when nucleus looks as it does in interphase.

52
Q

outside

A

Animal cells divide from the _____.

53
Q

inside

A

Plant cells divide from the _____.

54
Q

centrioles

A

Animal cells contain _____ which are absent in plant cells.

55
Q

Cleavage furrow

A

The area of the cell membrane that pinches in and eventually separates the dividing cell.

56
Q

actin

A

The Cleavage furrow is formed by a band of _____ microfilaments.

57
Q

myosin

A

_____ sinches the actin microfilament band to split the animal cell in 2.

58
Q

cell walls

A

Plant cells have ____ _____’s which animals cells lack.

59
Q

plate

A

A cell ____ forms between 2 daughter cells after mitosis in plant cells.

60
Q

cell plate

A

A double membrane across the midline of a dividing plant cell, between which the new cell wall forms during cytokinesis.

61
Q

multinucleated

A

When the cytoplasm doesn’t divide after mitosis (mitosis but not cytokinesis), the result is a _________ cell.

62
Q

muscles

A

Skeletal _____ are examples of multinucleated cells.

63
Q

cytoplasmic molecules

A

The cell cycle can be affected by _______ ______.

64
Q

checkpoints

A

There are regulatory _________’s at the end of the G1, G2 and M phases of the cell cycle.

65
Q

protein kinase

A

An enzyme that transfers phosphate groups from ATP to a protein. A key factor in cell division. About 1% of human genes code for these. (2 words)

66
Q

Cyclin dependant kinase

A

A protein that is constantly present in the cell at the same concentration, but is active only when attached to a particular cyclin. After binding it forms Maturation Promoting Factor. (3 words)

67
Q

Maturation Promoting Factor

A

(MPF); complex of mitotic cyclin and cyclin-dependent kinase that’s necessary for division of cells. Activates the mitotic phase. (Allows to pass G2 checkpoint)[3 words]

68
Q

G2

A

Maturation Promoting Factor allows the cell to pass the __ checkpoint.

69
Q

Cohesions

A

Hold sister chromatids together. They don’t dissolve until all the chromosomes are lined up.

70
Q

Anaphase promoting complex

A

What does APC stand for? (Internal cue) [3 words]

71
Q

Internal cues

A

Serve as a wait signal for the cell not to divide until the chromosomes are ready. (2 words)

72
Q

cancer

A

_______ cells don’t obey the normal cell cycle controls.

73
Q

Growth

A

_____ factors are and external biochemical cue from other cells.

74
Q

Anchorage dependance

A

requirement that to divide, a cell must be attached to a solid surface. (2 words)

75
Q

Density dependent inhibiton

A

The phenomenon observed in normal cells that causes them to stop dividing when they come into contact with one another. (3 words)

76
Q

cancer

A

any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division.

77
Q

tumor

A

A mass of abnormal cells that develops when cancerous cells divide and grow uncontrollably.

78
Q

benign

A

______ tumors can be removed completely with surgery.

79
Q

Malignant

A

Any tumor that is cancerous and has the potential of spreading to other parts of the body & impairs normal organ function.

80
