Chapter 19.2 Flashcards
What parts of cell cycle make up interphase
G1, S, G2
what happens in G1
cell increases in size, nucleus moves to middle of cell, organelles divide
what is G0
when arrested cells stay in G1 (neurons are example of this)
what happens in S phase
DNA is replicated
what happens in G2 phase
structures necessary for mitosis are produced
steps of mitosis
prophase, prometaphse, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
parts of prophase
chromosomes condense
cytoskeleton begins to disassemble
centomere
constricted region of each chromatid where the sisters are attached
centrosome
microtubule organizing center
hallmarks of prometaphase
nuclear envelop disappears
nucleolus disappears
kinetochores develop
centrosomes move apart and spindle fibers appear
Kinetochore MT
attach to chromosomes at kinetochores
kinetochore
proteins associated with the centromere that acts as a handle for the spindle fibers
Polar MT
interact with spindles from opposite pole
Astral MT
form the asters at each pole which anchor centrosomes in place
Features of metaphase
chromosomes are maximally condensed
chromatids line up on metaphase plate
cell seems to pause
