Q

what do anti-tumor drugs act on in cancers?

A

act as microtubule inhibitors
the drugs stabilize microtubules preventing chromosome and chromatid separation and causing cell cycle arrest (no cell division)

Q

MITOSIS
Anaphase

A

microtubules shorten and each chromosome is pulled apart into 2 separate chromatids (once physically separated, each chromatid is considered a chromosome so the chromosome # has doubled)
chromosomes pulled to opposite poles
each pole has a complete set of chromosomes

92 chromosomes
92 chromatids

32
Q

MITOSIS
telophase + cytokinesis

A

nuclear envelope re-forms
chromosomes decondense back into chromatin and nucleoli reappear

33
Q

after cytokinesis how many chromosomes and chromatids in each cell

A

46 chromosomes
46 chromatids

34
Q

meiosis produces (from 1 diploid parent cell)

A

4 non-identical haploid daughter cells

35
Q

meiosis I

A

homologous chromosomes separate

36
Q

meiosis II

A

sister chromatids separate

37
Q

Prophase I
chromosomes + chromatids

A

46 chromosomes
92 chromatids

38
Q

prophase I

A
  • spindles form and nuclear envelope breaks down
  • chromosomes pair up lengthwise forming tetrads which need to form for crossing over to occur
  • pairs are physically linked through chiasmata
  • microtubules attach to chromosomes at kinetochores and move them towards metaphase plate
39
Q

synapsis

A

chromosomes pair up lengthwise in prophase I

40
Q

where does crossover occur

41
Q

metaphase I
chromosomes + chromatids

A

46 chromosomes
92 chromatids

42
Q

metaphase I

A
  • homologous chromosomes are arranged at the metaphase plate
  • independent assortment of chromosomes occurs because the arrangement of homologous chromosomes is random
43
Q

anaphase I
chromosomes + chromatids

A

46 chromosomes
92 chromatids

44
Q

anaphase I

A

homologous chromosomes separate and spindle apparatus guides the chromosomes to opposite poles

45
Q

telophase I + cytokinesis
chromosomes + chromatids

A

46 chromosomes
92 chromatids

46
Q

A

46 chromosomes
46 chromatids

53

A

46 chromosomes
46 chromatids

55

A
  • nuclei formation and decondensing of chromosomes
  • cytokinesis
56

non-sister chromatids of 2 homologous chromosomes exchanging genetic material

59
Q

when does crossing over occur

A

prophase I

60

independent assortment

A

random orientation of homologous chromosomes allows for the production of gametes with many different assortments of alleles

61
Q

when does independent assortment occur

A

metaphase I

62
Q

are genes closer together more or less likely to be inherited together

A

more likely
known as genetic linkage

63
Q

genetic linkage

A

genes that are physically closer together are less likely to be separated during crossing over
