27
Q

How do chromosomes appear during interphase?

A

Long and scraggly

28
Q

What is the mitotic spindle made of?

A

Microtubules

29
Q

When and where does the centrosome move before mitosis can begin?

A

During S phaseDefine opposite ends of the cell

30
Q

During prophase where do the centrosomes migrate two?

A

Opposite poles of the cellForm mitotic spindle that acts as guide wires for chromosome movement

31
Q

What is a kinetichore and how does it relate to the centromere?

A

Protein complexes located on each side of the centromere constriction That attach to the mitotic spindle

32
Q

Where do chromosomes align during metaphase.

A

In the Center of the cell

33
Q

What must happen for a pair of sister chromatids to separate?

A

When the centromere is cut resulting in two separate chromosomes

34
Q

During anaphase what motor protein move the chromosomes towards the centrosomes?

A

Microtubules

35
Q

Explain telophase

A

Nuclear envelope reforms and the chromosomes condense this marks the end of mitosis

36
Q

Which cytoskeletal component creates the contractile ring during cytokinesis?

A

Actin

37
Q

How is mitosis different from cytokinesis?

A

Mitosis doesn’t involve e splitting of the cell only making two nuclear envelops of new daughter chromosomes

38
Q

What is the basic difference between gametes and somatic cells?

A

Gametes are haploid that bind together during sexual reproduction.Somatic cells are diploid

39
Q

What’s the first thing that must occur before me ionic cell division can occur?

A

DNA replication

40
Q

What happens in the first meiotic divion?

A

Separate the homologsInto their X shape

41
Q

What happens in the second meiotic division?

A

Separation of the chromatids From X to to II

42
Q

Differences between mitotic and prophase 1 meiosis?

A

Chromosomes undergo gene to gene pairing in step 2Each pair of homologous chromosomes forms ambivalent in step 3Chiasmata forms during step 4Nuclear envelops breaks down in step 5

43
Q

Define chiasmata and why are they important

A

Crossover, the physical breakage and reunion of non sister chromatidsImportant because it physically links homologues to each other

44
Q

What lines up on the metaphase plate in meiotic metaphase 1?

A

The non sister chromatids joined by a chiasma

45
Q

How do bivalvent orientate themselves on the metaphase 1 plate?

A

Line up so that two centromeres are across each other on the plate Orientation of the bivalve td is otherwise random

46
Q

During anaphase 1 what separates and was doesn’t not?

A

Homologous chromosomes separateSister chromatids do not

47
Q

Explain prophase 2

A

The nuclear envelop breakdown and the chromosomes condense

48
Q

What lines up during metaphase 2?

A

Chromosomes line up in the Center of the cell

49
Q

What separates during anaphase 2? What gets cleaved?

A

The sister chromatids the centrosome gets cut

50
Q

Explain telophase 2

A

Chromosomes uncoil and the nuclear envelop reforms

51
Q

Define equational division

A

Cell in meiosis 2 have the same number of chromosomes at the start as they do at the end

52
Q

If strawberries are octopod what ploidy would strawberry eggs and sperm be?

A

Tetra ploidy? 4 ploidy

53
Q

Why should cell division be regulated, what types of tissues would have higher rates of cell division, why do unicellular organisms bother regulating cell division?

A

Unregulated cell division lead to cancerEpithelial cells would have high rate of cell divisionUnicellular organisms should only divide when appropriate nutrients are available

54
Q

What are some external signals and internal signals that a cell would use to regulate when to divide?

A

Ex has all the DNA been replicated during S phaseEx is the cell large enough to support divi on into viable daughter cells

55
Q

Provide some examples of cyclical changes

A

Chromosomes deco sensing and condensingNuclear envelop breaking and reforming

56
Q

What is the behaviour of cycling during the cell cycle?

A

Cyclin levels rise and fall with each turn of the cell cycle.

57
Q

Explain cyclin dependant kinases of CDKs

A

Always present within the cell but only become active when bound to the appropriate cyclin. It is CDK activity that prompts different stages of the cell cycle

58
Q

When do you expect to see maximum and minimum levels of CDK activity?

A

When the cell is dividing and just finished dividing

59
Q

Do cyclin levels vary thought the cell cycle?

A

Yes Levels increase and decrease as the embryo divide during mitosis

60
Q

Why might a cell need more than a single cyclin CDK complex?

A

Because certain stages of the cell cycle are activated by different CDK complexes

61
Q

What might a cell need in place before it can successfully proceed with DNA replication?

A

Activation of protein complexes involved in DNA replication

62
Q

What is the function of S cyclin- CDK ?

A

Prevents the replication complex from reassembling the same place and re replicating the same DNA sequence

63
Q

What are the functions of M cyclin CDK?

A

Phosphorylates structural proteins in the nucleus that trigger breakdown of the nuclear envelopPhosphorylates proteins that regulate the formation of Tubulin into microtubules promoting the formation of the mitotic spindle

64
Q

Where are the three checkpoints found in the cell cycle?

A

End of G1 detects if DNA is damagedEnd of G2 detects to see is all the DNA is replicatedStart of am phase detects to make sure that all the chromosomes area attached to the spindle

65
Q

When is p53 activated and what is the consequence of activating p53?

A

Activated when DNA damaged by radiation is detectedIt activates a protein that inhibites the activity of G1/S cyclin CDK thereby arresting the cell in the G1/S transition

66
Q

How is asexual and sexual reproduction different?

A

Asexual reproduction occurs when a single cell splits into 2 daughter cellsSexual reproduction occurs when genetic material is passed down from 2 parents half the genetic material is passed from the female the other half from the male parent
