Q

Like us, they undergo cell division, PMAT, and have the ability to reproduce. When they divide to become another cell, it is a form of reproduction. The initial cell, upon giving birth, generates additional cells, leading to an increase in population.

→ Primary period of cell growth
→ The cells are starting to create the organelles
→ “Organelle Factory”

mitochondria, chromosomes, nuclear membranes, and many more. The major organelles are created here.

Q
  • “In between cell division”
  • Long growth period between cell
    divisions
  • Long portion of the Cell Cycle
  • A lot of people say that everything
    here is at rest but that is not correct. It is actually preparing for the main event which is the M Phase.

Q

→ DNA is duplicated
→ Growth continues slowly
→ Creating the genetic material that could mean DNA and RNA
→ Central Dogma happens here
→ A composition of a cell is simply organelles inside then on the middle is the nucleus and inside that nucleus are the genetic material. So the G1 and S Phase are both equally important phases.

Q
  • Not all cells divide at the same rate
  • Internal surveillance and control
    mechanism
  • Several key checkpoints where “go
    ahead” signals must be received in order for the cycle to progress to the next phase
  • Outside influences can modify cell cycle
  • Hormones, growth factors,
    presence of other cells
  • These are for checking, controlling,
    and regulating the different
    processes
  • Located in between the phases

Q
  • Cell Division
  • PMAT happens here
  • Small portion of the Cell Cycle
  • Main Event
A

mitotic phase / m phase

29
Q

→ Cytoplasm division
→ two daughter cells are formed

A

Cytokinesis

29
Q

Nuclear division, duplicated DNA distributed to daughter cells

A

mitosis / meiosis

30
Q

→ Generates haploid cells(1n), one set of chromosomes per cell only
→ Involve and is exclusively sex cells
★ Gametes: sperm, egg, spores
→ Requires two cell division
→ 4 Daughter cells are genetically different from parent cells
→ For producing gametes or spores, first step of reproductive process in sexually reproducing organisms

A

meiosis

31
Q

Diploid cell to 2 haploid cells,
crossover

A

meiosis I

32
Q

2 haploid cells to 4 haploid cells

A

Meiosis II

33
Q

→ Generates new diploid cells (2n), two sets of chromosomes from parent cells
→ Asexual reproduction
→ Nuclear division (mitosis) followed by cytoplasmic decision
(cytokinesis)
→ 2 Daughter cells offspring are generally identical to the parent cell
→ For reproduction : single-celled
organisms - binary fission
→ For cell growth: repair
→ These are somatic cells or our body cells. All body cells go through mitosis except for two: egg cells and sperm cells.
★ Neurons
★ Livercells
★ Cells of the uterus

  • Not moving
A

36
Q
  • Single but becoming closer to
    your pair
  • Not yet connected
  • Unattached but had started to
    move already
A

37
Q

Already bound on the middle

A

chromosome

38
Q
  • Chromatin condenses into visible chromatids
  • Nuclear envelope disappears
  • Mitotic spindle formed
A

prophase

39
Q

sister chromatids join and pair at the

A

centromere

40
Q

spindle fibers attach themselves to

A

kinetochores

41
Q

____ perform the pulling action, directing some chromosomes to cell 1 and cell 2

A

spindle fibers

42
Q
  • structures resembling stars
  • consist of various components, including centrosomes and microtubules
  • serve as a powerful mechanism for the pulling process.
  • While spindle fibers act as ropes or pullers, the true power or machinery lies within this
  • must travel towards the two opposite poles, ensuring an equal and balanced distribution of genetic material.
A

asters

43
Q

true or false: centromeres are only found in animal cells

A

true

43
Q

Within the centromere, proteins are present, forming a structure known as the..

A

kinetochore

44
Q

→ Nuclear envelope fragments
→ More condensed chromosomes
→ Each chromatid now has
kinetochores
→ The microtubules attach to the kinetochores “kinetochore
microtubules”
→ Non kinetochore microtubules interact with those of the opposite
poles of the
→ This is the continuation of
everything that happened in
prophase.
→ Earlier, the nuclear envelope
began to dissolve, and here, it continues to dissolve. Similarly, asters were traveling towards opposite poles before, and here, they are still traveling. Spindle fibers are still forming.

A

prometaphase

45
Q
  • Duplicate chromosomes from a single lines at the equator between centriole poles a “metaphase plate”
  • Centrosomes are at opposite poles of the cell
  • One of the longest phases
  • this is the lining up in the middle
A

metaphase

46
Q

This phase is the longest because it takes a significant amount of time to form a complete centromere.

A

metaphase

46
Q

→ Sister chromatids separate (disjunction)
→ Daughter chromosomes are pulled towards poles by microtubules
→ Cell elongates as nonkinetochore
microtubules lengthen
→ Shortest stage
→ This is known as separation or
disjunction. This is the shortest stage because it is easy to separate, especially considering the fact that there are forces pulling them. Asters are the ones that pull them, and spindle fibers are used for pulling them.

A

anaphase

47
Q

indicates that they have been separated for a while or are already in the process of separating.

A

late anaphase

47
Q

chromosomes have just separated

A

early anaphase

47
Q

→ Reverse of prophase
→ Daughter nuclei forms
■ Nuclear membrane reforms
■ Nucleoli reappear
→ Mitotic spindle disintegrates
→ Chromosomes start to uncoil and
revert to chromatin
→ Cleavage furrow forms
→ The nuclear envelope will reform again. This means that our nucleus will become well-defined. One nucleus for Cell 1 and another for Cell 2. Spindle fibers will disappear because their job is done. Asters will deactivate; they won’t travel anymore, pull, or exert power. They will be at rest.
→ The main goal is for chromosomes to become chromatids and eventually return to the chromatin state.

A

telophase

48
Q

Official separating creating two identical daughter cells

A

cytokinesis

Q
