how long does it take a cell to make a peptide bond
about 300 msec
what phase do cells start in
cell starts in g1 (gap 1/gap phase)
what is interphase
g1, s, g2 is collectively called interphase
what is the cell cycle
G1 S G2 Mitosis Cytokinesis
what is Interphase:
the DNA replicates
what is Mitosis:
the copied chromosomes are moved into daughter nuclei
where does mitosis occur
Mitosis occurs in somatic or body cells
what is Cytokinesis
the cell is split into 2 daughter cells
most of the cell cycle is spent in what
interphase
what are the 3 phases of interphase
G1:
S: DNA replicates
G2: cell makes proteins needed to complete mitosis
what happens in g1
cell grows, organelles duplicate
what happens in s
DNA replicates
what happens in g2
cell makes proteins needed to complete mitosis
what does g1 provide
size control
why must growth be controlled
if you don’t have controlled growth in g1, it will look like this
there will be an exponential growth of cells with only a nucleus
you would expect to see (if the growth was to controlled)… she never said what actually happens so…
Before dividing, cells must do what
accurately copy their DNA
what is a gene
is a section of DNA that has the instructions for making a protein
what is a chromosome
One molecule of DNA is wrapped around proteins to form a chromosome
A chromosome has how many genes
100s - 1000s of genes
do all species have the same number of chromosomes
Different species have different numbers of chromosomes
how many chromosomes do human have
we have 46
what are chromosomes before cell division
Chromosomes are uncondensed before cell division
what are duplicated chromosomes
Duplicated chromosomes, held together at the centromere, are called sister chromatids
how are chromosomes duplicated
Chromosomes are duplicated through DNA replication
