Actual Unit 4 AP Biology Review Flashcards
Identify the parts of the chromosome
Look at notecard
Identify the parts of the cell cycle
Look at notecard
Phase where the cell grows and carries out normal functions
G1 (First Gap) phase
Phase where DNA replication and chromosome duplication occurs
S (Synthesis) phase
Phase where the final growth happens and prepares for mitosis
G2 (Second Gap) phase
A type of cell division in which one cell divides to produce two new cells that are genetically identical to itself
Mitosis
The process during cell division where the cytoplasm divides into two daughter cells
Cytokinesis
If there are 23 chromosomes in a plant cell in G1, what is the diploid number?
46
If there are 23 chromosomes in a plant cell in G1, how many chromatids
92
If there are 23 chromosomes in a plant cell in G1, what is the haploid number?
23
If there are 23 chromosomes in a plant cell in G1, what is the number of centromeres?
46
What is another word for centromeres?
Kinetochores
Chromatids are doubled in _ _____ and are __ until the cell is split
S phase and 92
The stage where chromatin condenses and the mitotic spindles begin to form
Prophase
The stage where the nuclear envelope fragments and microtubules enter the nuclear area (some attach to kinetochores)
Prometaphase
The stage where centrosomes are at opposite poles and chromosomes line up at the ________ plate
Metaphase
The stage where sister chromatids separate and move to opposite ends of the cell as well as the cell elongating
Anaphase
The stage where two daughter nuclei form and nucleoli reappear
Telophase
Cleavage furrow appears and Cell plates are formed
Cytokinesis
Vesicles fuse together along the middle of the cell to complete the separating process in the Golgi Apparatus
Cell Plate
(Plant)
A groove formed between two daughter cells that pinches together to complete the separation of the two cells after mitosis
Cleavage furrow
(Animal)
Advantage of cell plate
Forms the cell wall for plant cells
Advantage of cleavage furrow
Pinches cytoplasm into two lobes that are then separated into two cells
Stop and go chemical signals at critical points. These indicate if key cellular processes have been completed correctly
Checkpoints
Checkpoint that checks for cell size, growth factors, and DNA damage
G1/S checkpoint
Where is G1/S checkpoint located?
Near the end of G1
Checks for completion of DNA replication and DNA damage
G2/M Checkpoint
Proteins that bind with cyclin dependent kinases to modify target proteins
Cyclins
Only active when attached to cyclins
Cyclins dependent kinases
This complex acts as a signal for the G2 cells to enter mitosis
Mitosis Promoting Factor
What happens when a cell enters G0?
The cell does not divide or prepare to divide. It performs maintenance and other functions
What is the purpose of G0?
To repair a cell that is not functioning correctly or has the correct material
An example of a cell found in G0
Neurons
How is cancer formed?
DNA mutations (60)
Cancer cells:
Do not ______ ___________
______ _______ when in culture
Evade
Continues ________ even with ___
- follow checkpoints
- Divide infinitely
- apoptosis
- dividing, errors
Cancer cells would have to lose ______ and _________ dependence
density and anchorage
Cancer cells would have to turn off _____ __________ genes and turn on _____________.
Tumor suppressor and proto oncogenes
Cancer cells can be identified through the ____ of the _______ as a cancer’s cell _______ is much larger than a normal cell’s
size and nucleus
Used in experiments to ensure that there is no effect when there shouldn’t be
Negative control
Used in experiments to confirm that the system is functioning correctly and can produce a detectable result
Positive control
Phosphorylation by the enzyme
Protein Kinase
Dephosphorylation by the enzyme
Protein phosphatase
Relays signals inside the cell
Protein Kinase
Shuts off pathways
Protein phosphatase
Direct contact/Signal communication
Juxtacrine
Three different ways Juxtacrine can occur
- Plasmodesmata (Plants)
- Gap Junctions (Animal)
- Surface Receptors
Short distance communication
Paracrine
Long distance communication
Endocrine
Self signaling communication
Autocrine
Three steps to cell communication
Reception, Transduction, and Response
Ligands bind to a receptor
Reception
Signal is converted
Transduction
Cell is altered
Response
