21
Q

How does the separase become active to remove cohesions

A

When APC/C becomes active it adds ubiquitin to securin which targets it for degradation which will allow separase to become active and will then degrade the cohesion of the sister chromatids

Q

What happens in anaphase B

A

Spindle pokes move away from each other

24
Q

What is the contractile ring made of

A

Actin and myosin Filaments

25
Q

What allows the formation of parallel actin bundles in the contractile ring

A

Formin

26
Q

What needs to be activated in order for the contractile ring to assemble and contract

A

RhoA

27
Q

Name the phases of the cell cycle

A

G1
S phase
G2 phase
M phase

28
Q

What gives the cell cycle its quality control feature

A

Various checkpoints
G1/S -
G2/M
Metaphase ti anaphase

29
Q

What mediates the transition from one phase to another in the cell cycle

A

By cyclins and

Cyclin dependent kinases ( Cdk)

30
Q

When is Cdk active

A

When bound to cyclin

31
Q

Will progression of phases continue if Cdk is active

A

No

32
Q

The expression of this changes with the stages of the cell cycle

A

Cyclin

33
Q

How is the Cdk activated by cyclins

A

When cyclin is not present Cdks active site is blocked by a loop
When cyclin is bound to Cdk the loop is removed and activated Cdk

34
Q

When Cdk is active in the G1/S - G2/M phase what does it do to various proteins

A

Phosphorylates them so that the cell cycle progresses

35
Q

In comparison with the progression of the G1/S -G2/M stage what is the different in the metaphase to anaphase progression

A

Metaphase to ananphase progression requires degradation not phosphorylation

36
Q

What promotes the replication of DNA only once during the cell cycle

A

S-Cdk

37
Q

How are the sister chromatids held together after the DNA has been replicated

A

Cohesions

38
Q

What is the name of the stage in the cell cycle where cell divides in 2 daughter cells

A

Mitosis

39
Q

What mediates crossing over

A

Synaptomenal complex

40
Q

What happens in meiosis I

A

Homologous chromosomes pair together

Non sister chromatids exchange genetic material ( crossing over )

41
Q

What is one difference from meiosis I and meiosis II

A

In meiosis I it is the separation of the homologous chromosomes
In meiosis II it’s separation of sister chromatids

42
Q

Nondisjunctuon

A

Phenomenon that when homologs fail to separate properly

Some haploid gametes have more copies of chromosomes while others lack chromosome

43
Q

What are extracellular factors that influence cell growth and division

A

Mitogens
Growth factors
Survival factors

44
Q

What do mitogens do

A

Promote cell division
They activate Ras and MAP kinase pathway
Triggers G1- Cdk and S -Cdk to activate

45
Q

In what phase does chromosome duplication occur

A

S Phase

(DNA ) synthesis

46
Q

In what phase of the cell cycle does chromosome segregation and cell division occur

A

M-Phase

47
Q

What is the mitotic spindle

A

Giant bipolar array of microtubules

48
Q

G1, S, G2 are together called

A

Interphase

49
Q

Which phase requires the most time

A

Interphase

50
Q

Why are the gap phases G1 and G2 important

A

Provides time for the cell to monitor the internal and external environment to ensure conditions are suitable to proceed to S phase and mitosis

51
Q

What what are two components of the cell cycle control system

A

Cyclin

Cyclin dependent protein kinase ( Cdk)

52
Q

What helps the cyclin Cdk complex become fully activated

A

CAK
Cdk- activating kinase
It phosphorylates an amino acid near the entrance of the Cdk active site

53
Q

What is the key regulator of the metaphase to anaphase transition

A

APC/ C
(Anaphase promoting complex
Cyclosome)

54
Q

What are the two proteins that APC/C target for destruction

A

Securins - hold sister chromatids together

S- and M- cyclin s - inactivated most Cdks in the cell

55
Q

How does cyclin activate Cdk

A

It binds causing a loop to move away from the active site

56
Q

What type of enzyme is APC/C

A

Ubiquitin ligase

57
Q

What inactivates cyclin Cdk complexes in

A

CkIs ( Cdk inhibitor proteins
