Chapter 3 Part 2 lecture Flashcards
Meitosis is cell division. Cell devision is:
is a process by which cells reproduce themselves
3 interphase components:
- G1 phase
- S phase
- G2 phase
4 mitotic phase components:
- Prophase
- metaphase
- anaphase
- telophase
PMAT AKA
Mitotic phases
4 components of G1 phase:
- takes 8-10 hours
- cell metabolically active
- duplicates organelles and cytosolic components
- centrosome replication begins
2 components of S phase
- takes 8 hours
- DNA replicated
4 components of G2 phase:
- Takes 4-6 hours
- cell growth continues
- enzymes and other proteins are synthesized
- centrosome replication completed
Mitosis occurs when:
Mitosis occurs when the nucleus of a cell divides
Mitosis results in:
Mitosis results in the distribution of 2 sets of chromosomes into 2 separate nuclei
Mitosis is divided into ____ steps:
- Prophase
- Metaphase
- Anaphase
- Telophase
During prophase what happens with chromatin, chromosomes, chromatids and centromeres??
During prophase, Chromatin wrap around histone proteins and condenses into chromosomes; which are two sister chromatids joined at centromere
What are chromatins?
Stored form of DNA in our genes
3 steps of prophase:
- chromatin condenses into chromosomes
- nuclear membrane disappears
- centrosomes move to opposite poles
1 step of metaphase:
-centromeres line up at metaphase plate
Metaphase plate AKA
Midline
What are kinetochores?
Kinetochores are a protein on the centrosome
How are mitotic spindles involved during metaphase?
mitotic spindles grab onto kinetochore proteins and pull them to line up on the metaphase plate
Chromosome histology appearance in early anaphase:
starting to split away from the metaphase plate/midline into sister chromatids
Chromosome histology appearance in late anaphase: (2)
- sister chromatids are pulled apart and start moving toward centromere or polar ends
- cleavage furrow
What is a cleavage furrow?
This furrow is the splitting of the cell itself
What is the cleavage furrow the start of?
it is the start of cytokinesis
Mitotic spindles AKA
Microtubles
steps of Telophase:
- Mitotic spindles holding onto kinetochores dissolve
- Chromosomes start to unravel into chromatins
- New nuclear membrane forms
Nuclear membrane AKA
Nuclear envelope
If mitosis is the splitting of the nucleus, cytokinesis is the
splitting of the cytoplasm or the cell
What happens after when cytokinesis is complete?
Interphase begins
