Q

Why is cell division important ( 3 )

A
  • Allow organisms to grow
  • Means damaged tissues can be repaired
  • Involves the creation of new gametes, which can eventually lead to offspring
  • If it’s too big, it cannot get enough nutrients into the cell and wastes out of the cell

Q

Why does cell division remain important to an adult organism even after it is fully developed?

A

Even after growth, division remains important in normal cell turnover, such as in our skin and gut, where cells are continuously renewed.

70
Q

Cells divide, differentiate, or die. What is differentiation?

A

Cells stop dividing to specialise in structure and function,

Once differentiated, some cells may divide again under certain conditions.

71
Q

What are cell cycle regulators?

A

To remain healthy,

essential for an organism to maintain the right number of cells.

This is achieved primarily by regulating the ‘cell cycle.’

These cell cycle regulators are molecular signals that may stimulate or stop cell division, instruct cells to differentiate, or even initiate cell death.

proteins that control the progression of a cell through the cell cycle

THERE are Genes that encode these proteins.
Mutations in these genes can lead to cancer,

72
Q

What happens if cell cycle regulators don’t function properly?

A

organisms may end up with too few or too many cells, this can cause problems.

harmless hair loss or the growth of warts to the development of life-threatening tumours.

73
Q

G1 in details:

A

The cell increases in size and prepares to replicate its DNA.

end of this phrase the cell has to be sufficiently healthy to replicate its DNA.

If it’s undamaged and has enough resources then it keeps growing and divides, going into other phrases.

If not, the cell dies, or enters a resting state, also known as G0 phase.

74
Q

S in details:

A

The synthesis phase, where a cell replicates its DNA.

end of this phase the cell has two complete set of chromosomes.

DNA is continuously monitored for replication errors, and if there is none it moves to G2 where the cell matures.

75
Q

G2 in details:

A

Second gap phase.

The cell continues to grow and prepare for division.

DNA has no damage, all chromosomes have to be fully replicated and contain no other types of damage, and enough cell components.

76
Q

Which factors determine whether a cell enters G0?

A
  • Resources are insufficient to grow or divide.

- Organism’s stage in development.

77
Q

Can cells leave G0?

A

Many neurons and muscle cells, remain in G0 and never re enter the cycle,

some tissues such as the liver, injury can cause cells to leave G0 and progress through the cell cycle and divide.

78
Q

Stimulating proteins are encoded by (CELL REGULATORS)

A

proto-oncogenes. dominant ( one alles )

79
Q

Inhibitory proteins are encoded by

A

suppressor genes. reccesive ( two alles )

90
Q

when does asexual reproduction occur?

A

one parental organism gives rise to two identical offspring.

91
Q

types of asexual reproduction

4

A

fission ( bacteria )
budding (hydra)
vegetative reproduction ( strawberry)
parthenogenesis ( aphids )

92
Q

advantages of asexual reproduction

A
  • parent can reproduce without mate
  • genetically-identical offspring produced well suited to environment

-compare to sexual reproduction-
offspring produced faster RATE , SAVES energy

  • high number - resilient
  • everyone can reproduce (not just FEMALES)
93
Q

DISadvantages of asexual reproduction

A
  • little variation in population. environment change = population may not survive
  • rapid population
  • no genetic variation
  • Evolution is slow

growth=lead to competition for resources

  • mutation in parent DNA will be passed to offspring
    mutual neg = die
94
Q

what are clones

95
Q

how is clones produced?

A

asexual reproduction

96

Q

what clones is less problematic

A

plantssss

99
Q

why does cloning of whole organism raise issues?

6

  1. What are two reasons a person might want to clone a human?
A

Possible solution to infertility problems.

Cloning of geniuses, who work could advance society.

127
Q
  1. Why would Frankie #2 be different from Frankie #1?
A

nature vs nurture

  • different mitochondria
  • mitochondria has own chromosome, made of DNA, and divide into genres
  • mitochondria comes from mother, when cloned is made the egg cell used to received the donor nucleus is already filled with mitochondria contributed by the egg donor
128
Q

Why does cloning have such a high failure rate?

A

embryo develops, cells begin to differentiate into muscle, nerve, liver, and other types. Part of the differentiation process involves adding and removing chemical tags on the DNA, which keeps genes turned “on” that are necessary for the function of that cell type and keeps others turned “off.”

129
Q

what do we count chromosomes by

A

by chromere in the middle

half bodies (46 chromosomes = 46 chromatids 0

full bodies

46 chromosomes - 92 chromatids

its 46 chromosomes cause of no. of chromere

130
Q

good way to identify interphase to prophase

A

the chromosomes over lap with chromere

131
Q

what gap is G2?

A

Its the second gap

132
Q

what does centrioles do between prophase and metaphase

A

move away from one another towards opposite ends of cell due to lengthening of microtubules that forms between them

133
Q
  1. Why is the whitefish used to study mitosis?
A

e whitefish embryos have cells that are rapidly dividing, making it easier to see the different stages of mitosis under a microscope as the fish embryo is growing. This is why mitosis is only visible in cells that are dividing.

134
Q
  1. What are the four stages of mitosis?
A

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase & Telophase.

135
Q

How long does it take for mitosis to complete?

A

Mitosis takes several hours ( up to 24 hours full cycle. )

136
Q

what is kinetochores

A

this is after prophase where microtubules also lengthen by addition of tubulin proteins to the growing end

137
Q

centrosomes/centroles function

A

help separate DNA during M phase.

138
Q

How long does the cell cycle take?

A

A typical human cell might take about 24 hours to divide

90%

139
Q

does sex and fertilisation required for Asexual reproduction?

A

NOOOOO

140
Q

HOW MANY CENTRIOLES IN A CENTROSOMERS

A

THERE ARE TWO CENTRiOLES IN A CENTROSOMES

2 EACH SIDE

141
Q

the nuclear envolope around centrosome?

A

NOO

142
Q

WHERE IS REGULATE

A

BETWEEN G1 AND S

BETWEEN G2 AND MITOSIS

143
Q

CONTROL of cell cycle

A

p53, proteins block progession of cell cycle

tuber supperor genes = mutuatuion = loss of control = cancer

144
Q

tuber supperor genes

A

very important
avoid cancer

helps to divide when nesscarry

145
Q

normal cell vs cancer cell

A

normal cell has apoptosis

cancer cell= continues dividng and has no tuber supperor genes

146
Q

differences between mitosis and cytokinesis

A

Mitosis is the division of genetic material/DNA/chromosomes while cytokinesis is division of the
cytoplasm.

Mitosis results in two identical daughter nuclei enclosed in one cell, while cytokinesis results in two
daughter cells,

Mitosis precedes (comes immediately before) cytokinesis.

Cytokinesis occurs in eukaryotes and prokaryotes, whereas mitosis occurs only in eukaryotes

147
Q

event occuring in metaphase

A
  1. Replicated chromosomes attach by centromeres to spindle fibres.
  2. Replicated chromosomes line up across the equator of the cell.
148
Q

event occuring in prophase

A
  1. Chromosomes condense/appear as individual strands.
  2. Nuclear membrane breaks down.
  3. Centrioles move to opposite ends of the cell (in animal cells).
149
Q

event occuring in anaphase

A
  1. Spindle fibres shorten/retract to opposite ends of the cell.
  2. Sister chromatids of replicated chromosomes separate at centromeres.
  3. Sister chromatids are pulled to opposite ends of the cell.
150
Q

statement that cell N is at interphase

A

Chromosomes in cell N are indistinct/not observed as individual strands.

The nucleus in cell N appears as a clearly outlined circular object in centre of cell; a nuclear
membrane is present.

A nucleolus is visible inside the nucleus of cell N.

151
Q

A significant difference between interphase and mitosis is that:

A

During interphase there is no arrangement/movement/division/separation of chromosomes, while in mitosis,
chromosomes are arranged/moved around (attached to spindle fibres).

At the end of mitosis two daughter nuclei are present in the cell, while interphase ends with one nucleus
present in the cell.

Interphase involves growth of the cell /synthesis of a new set of chromosomes, while during mitosis, there is no
cell growth/no replication of chromosomes.

152
Q

blackberry plant grws root send up shoots meteres from plant.

new shoots form vetative reproduction called sucker

if seperated roots of main balckberry , sucker form to new plant

A

Plants produced by suckers are clones of the original blackberry plant.

153
Q

The explanation for the difference in strawberry plants grown by runners compared to the offspring from the
seeds is that

A

Growth of runners is a form of vegetative reproduction/asexual reproduction.

Asexual reproduction produces offspring with the same genetic features as the parent, therefore, the
size and flavour of the fruit is the same as the parent.

Seeds are produced by sexual reproduction/not produced by asexual reproduction, so offspring are
genetically different from the parents, resulting in different fruit quality to that seen in parent plants.

154
Q

Two arguments against cloning farm animals, such as cattle are (

A

It is very expensive.
It is not very successful/reliable.
health problems

155
Q

What happens when the Cell Cycle goes wrong

A

Cancer is the result of unchecked cell division caused by a breakdown of the mechanisms that regulate the cell cycle.

156
Q

process of Binary Fission

A

An organism’s duplicates its genetic material and DNA and then divides into two parts ( cytokinesis ) with each new organism receiving one copy of DNA.

157
Q

process of Budding

A

New organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site. These buds develop into tiny individuals, and when fully mature, it detaches from the parent body and becomes independent.

158
Q

process of Parthenogenesis

A

Natural form of asexual reproduction in which growth and development of embryos occur without fertilization by sperm.

In animals it’s development of embryos from an unfertilized egg cell. So female can reproduce without a male mate.

159
Q

process of Spores

A

Typically one celled that
Is adapted for dispersion and
Surviving for extended periods of time
In unfavorable conditions.

160
Q

process of Fragmentation

A

Parent organism breaks into fragments, each capable of growing independently into new organism.

161
Q

process of Runners & Tubers

A

Runner are specialised aerial stems, a natural agent of increase and spread. Tubers are specialised storage stem of certain seed plants. They are usually short and thickened and typically grow below the soil.

162
Q

difference between mitosis in plant and animal cells

A

The main difference between animal mitosis and plant mitosis is that the mitotic spindle in animal mitosis is formed with the help of two centrioles whereas mitotic spindle in plant mitosis is formed without any centrioles. Mitosis is followed by cytokinesis

163
Q

in binary fission

A

a cicrcular dna molecules is replicated

164
Q

why is interphase the most shown

A

chromosome are not visible, dna is not condensed, enable dna (genome) to be functional

so genes are accessible for the cell to normally function to produce proteins need for metabolism , dna replication

165
Q

what is scnt

A

nucleus is removed from a somatic cell and placed into en enucleated ovum

asexual reproduction known as cloning

166
Q

A

mitosis

167
Q

adv of sexual - mass

populatoin

A

good season, temp food they eat and grow
