Chapter 3B Flashcards
What is the cell life cycle
Changes cell goes through from until it’s made until it reproduces
Parts of cell division
Interphase
Cell division
Interphase (metabolic)
Cell grows and metabolizes
Longest phase
Cell division is when
The cell reproduces
When is genetic material replicated
End of interphase
How does DNA replicate?
DNA uncoils into nucleotide chains
Bonds complimentary
AT
CG
Parts of cell division
Mitosis
Cytokinesis
Mitosis
Division of nucleus
2 daughter nuclei
Cytokinesis
Division of cytoplasm
Makes 2 daughter cells
Starts at end of mitosis
Starts during late anaphase
Completes during
Telophase
Cleavage furrow (contractile ring)
Is interphase a part of mitosis?
No, it happens before mitosis
Prophase
Chromatin Coils . Chromatids held together by centromere
Centrioles direct assembly of mitotic spindle
Nuclear envelope and nucleoli have broken down
Metaphase
Chromosomes in middle
Straight line
Anaphase
Centromere splits
Chromatids move apart
Telophase
Reverse of prophase
Chromosomes uncoil
Spindles break down
Nuclear envelope reforms around chromatin
Nucleoli appear in each daughter nuclei
When is cytoplasm not divided?
Binucleate/multinucleate
Liver and skeletal muscles
Gene
DNA segments carry blueprint for one polypeptide chain
Fibrous proteins
(structural)
Building materials
Globular proteins
(functional) act as enzymes (biological catalysts)
First part of protein synthesis
DNA coded into sequence of bases
Triplet code for an amino acid
AAA
Phenylalanine
Where are most ribosomes located?
Cytoplasm or on rough ER
If DNA doesn’t leave during interphase, how does it instruct cells
Uses a messenger and decoder RNA
Differences between RNA and DNA
RNA has one strand
RNA has ribose instead of deoxyribose
RNA has uracil instead of thymine
Transfer RNA
Sends appropriate amino acids to make proteins
