Cell Cycle Flashcards
1
Q
cell cycle
A
- division of somatic cell into 2 daughter cells
- include: interphase & mitotic phase
2
Q
interphase occurences
A
- 3 phases: G1, S, G2
- chromosomes present as chromatin
- genes are transcribed to mRNA to make protein
3
Q
G1 phase
A
- last 8-10 hours
- growth and metabolism
- results: replicated chromosomes
4
Q
S phase
A
- last 6-8 hours
- DNA replicated + connected by centromere (sister chromatid)
- kinetochore proteins attach to centromere
5
Q
G2 phase
A
- last 4-6 hours
- enzymes and proteins are produced
- 2 sister chromatids attached at centromere
6
Q
mitosis
A
- 1 hour to complete
- growth and tissue repair
- involves: mitosis & cytokinesis
- results: 2 genetically identical daughter cells
7
Q
prophase
A
- chromatin is visible
- nuclear membrane & nucleoli disappear
- centrosomes go to opposite poles
- centromere have spindle fiber
- kinetochore attach to spindle microtubules
8
Q
metaphase
A
- sister chromatids lines in center of cell (metaphase plate)
- 46 chromosomes
9
Q
anaphase
A
- kinetochore fibers separate sister chromatids to pole
- cytokinesis begins
10
Q
telophase
A
- spindle break
- chromosomes uncoil > chromatin
- nuclear membrane & nucleoli appear
- results: 2 identical daughter cells
11
Q
meiosis
A
- sex cells
- 2n diploid to n haploid
- includes: meiosis I & meiosis II
12
Q
meiosis I
A
- separate homologous pairs
- diploid to haploid
13
Q
meiosis II
A
- separate sister chromatids
- result: 4 haploid gametes
- steps are the same as meiosis I
14
Q
prophase I
A
- synapsis
- tetrad: 4 sister chromatids
- crossing over (in synapsis)
15
Q
metaphase I
A
- tetrad align at plate
- microtubules attach to kinetochore
16
Q
anaphase I
A
- homologous pairs separate to poles
17
Q
telophase I
A
- each pole has haploid number chromosomes
18
Q
cytokinesis I
A
- overlaps telophase
- results: 2 haploid w/ 2 sister chromatids
19
Q
fertilization / development
A
haploid sperm + oocyte = diploid zygote
