cell cycle Flashcards
cell cycle
period of time betweeen the birth of a cell and its own divission to produce two new daughter cells
cycling cells
Cells that continue to divide regularly in definite intervals
what do cyclins activate
cyclin dependant kinases- cdks
what happens to cyclins and cdks at the end of the cell cycle
they are dgeraded
cyclins role
regulate cell cycle progression
ubiquitin
takes up used molecules
is a care taker protein
interphase
The interval between the end of mitosis and beginning of next
s phase
period in which new dna is synthesised
what is the s phase promoted by
cyclin a and cdks
longest phase
g1
g1
cell mostly grows
does g1 have a checkpoint
yes
if dna is damaged what happens
enters g0 phase where it is either repaired or carries out apoptosis
when does dna replication occur
s phase
what occurs during s phase
Each chromosome from g1 is replicated with help from enzymes, energy and structural proteins
Chromatid copied and pasted
Join at centromere
Still make up a single chromosome; amount of info doubled
