Q

What are the steps to DNA replication?

A

Enzyme Helicase unwinds and holds DNA apart. hydrogen bonds are broken and DNA polymerase adds new nucleotides complementary to the bases on exposed strand. Hydrogen bonds form between bases (complementary).Ligases form covalent bonds between adjacent DNA segments. The process inns with two identical double-stranded DNA molecules.

Q

What is binary fission?

A

An asexual process that replicates DNA and distributes it into two daughter cells.

22
Q

What are the four steps of binary fission?

A
  1. Parent cell contains one circular chromosome.
  2. DNA replicates and attaches to cell membrane.
  3. Membrane growth between the two attachment points move the DNA molecule apart as new cell wall material is deposited.
  4. The result of binary fission is two daughter cells, each identical to the original.
23
Q

What type of cells use binary fission?

A

Bacteria and Archaea

24
Q

What occurs when DNA is loosely packed?

A

DNA replication and protein synthesis

25
Q

What occurs when DNA is condensed into chromosomes?

A

Cell division

26
Q

What is chromatin?

A

DNA and associated proteins in the nucleus

27
Q

What is a chromosome?

A

A molecule of DNA wrapped around the proteins

28
Q

What is a chromatid?

A

One of two identical attach copies of a replicated chromosome

29
Q

What is a centromere?

A

A small region of a chromosome were sister chromatids attach to each other

30
Q

What is a nucleosome?

A

Stretch of DNA wrapped around eight proteins called histones

31
Q

What are histones?

A

Proteins that are associated with DNA. Eight at a time wrapped in the nucleosome.

32
Q

What is the Kinetochore?

A

Protein molecule that attaches a sister chromatid to a spindle fiber

33
Q

Mitosis is the division of ________.

A

Nucleus

34
Q

What is the division of the cell itself?

A

Cytokinesis

35
Q

What phases occur in interphase? And what occurs in each of these phases?

A

G1 (gap)-growth, normal cell function
S(synthesis)-replication of DNA
G2(gap)-growth, prep to divide

36
Q

What are the stages of Mitosis?

A

Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase

37
Q

Explain what occurs in prophase.

A

Chromosomes condense, spindles form, nuclear membrane (envelope) breaks up, spindles attach to chromosomes at Kinetochore (proteins).

38
Q

What occurs in metaphase?

A

Chromosomes meet in the middle

39
Q

What occurs in anaphase?

A

Chromosomes pull apart

40
Q

What occurs in Tele phase?

A

Nuclear membrane and nucleolus reform, chromosomes de-condense, & spindles disappear.

41
Q

What occurs in cytokinesis?

A

Forming of two identical daughter cells

42
Q

What occurs after the final step cytokinesis in the cell cycle?

A

Cells resume normal function or enter cell division (G1) interphase to be divided once again

43
Q

In an animal cell, what is the first sign of cytokinesis?

A

Cleavage furrow (A slight indentation around the cells equator)

44
Q

What is the first sign of cell wall construction in a plant cell?

A

Cell plate (a line separating the forming cells)

45
Q

How is the cell cycle regulated?

A

“Checkpoints” control stages

46
Q

What is a tumor?

A

An abnormal mass of tissue.

47
Q

What does benign mean?

A

Slow-growing and usually harmless surrounded by a tough capsule preventing metastasizing.

48
Q

What does malignant mean?

A

A tumor invading adjacent tissue. Does NOT have surrounding tissue like benign tumor.

49
Q

What does it mean when a tumor/cancer will metastasize?

A

Cells can break away from original mass and travel in bloodstream or emphatic system and colonize in other areas of the body.

50
Q

What are two aspects of life that can increase cancer risk?

A

Genes and the environment

51
Q

What are three cancer treatments?

A

Surgery, (drugs) chemotherapy, & radiation

52
Q

Explain the gene regulation, DNA availability.

A

Un-needed DNA is tagged so proteins in the cell signal the cell to fold that section of DNA too tightly for RNA polymerase to access deeming it inactive.
