Q

What is the third phase of mitosis?

A

Anaphase

100
Q

What happens during anaphase?

A

The chromatids are separated and pulled to either pole of the cell.

101
Q

What happens to the duplicated chromosomes? The sister chromatids?

A

The centromeres come apart and the chromatids are separated. They are now called chromosomes.

102
Q

What protein ‘fibers’ pull the chromosomes?

A

spindle fibers.

103
Q

How many chromosomes are there in anaphase? Sister chromatids?

A

92 chromosomes, 0 chromatids.

104
Q

How many chromosomes are on either pole in anaphase?

A

46 on either pole

105
Q

What is the last stage of mitosis called?

A

Telophase

106
Q

What happens during telophase?

A

The cell starts to pinch off. The form of the nucleus starts to come back.

107
Q

What is a notable characteristic of telophase?

A

Clevage furrow.

108
Q

What is a clevage furrow?

A

Where daughter cells are pinching off.

109
Q

What happens to chromosomes in telophase?

A

They uncondense back into chromatin.

Q

What change occurs to the nuclear envelope in telophase?

A

The appearance of it reforms.

111
Q

How many chromosomes are there in telophase?

A

92 (46 on either end)

112
Q

What is Cytokenisis?

A

The division of the cytoplasm into two daughter cells.

113
Q

Which 2 phases of mitosis does cytokenisis overlap with?

A

Anaphase and telophase.

114
Q

How many chromosomes are there in cytokenisis?

A

46 (in each daughter cell)

115
Q

Which phase of the cell cycle is the longest?

A

Interphase.

116
Q

Are the new cells from mitosis haploid or diploid?

A

Diploid

117
Q

Are the daughter cells genetically identical or diverse

A

Identical because everything was copied and distributed evenly.

118
Q

What are cancer cells the result of?

A

Multiple DNA mutations

119
Q

How would mutations on cell checkpoint genes contribute to cancer?

A

Because cancer replicates without limit, so it ignores checkpoints.

120
Q

What is a tumor?

A

An abromal mass.

121

They can break off and duplicate quickly in other places.

126
Q

Does chemotherapy target cells with a slow or fast rate of mitosis?

A

Fast rate.

127
Q

What is radiation and chemotherapy?

A

Radiation destroys cancer cells, and chemo is a drug that treats metastatic tumors. They disrupt the cell cycle.
