Chapter 9 Flashcards
Name the first phase of the cell cycle and what it includes
G1 and G0, S, G2
An orderly set of stages that takes place between the time a eukaryotic cell divides and the time the resulting daughter cells also divide is
Cell cycle
Mitotic stage which is the second part of the cell cycle includes
Prophase, pro metaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis (which occurs the same as anaphase and telophase)
Neoplasm is
Abnormal growth of cells
Characteristics of cancer cells
Lack differentiation, are immortal, have abnormal nuclei, don’t undergo apoptosis, lack contact inhibition, are invasive, and undergo metagenesis and angiogenesis
Examples of cells in G0 that do not finish the cell cycle because they don’t divide to produce daughter cells are
Neurons and muscle cell
Cell is actively preparing for mitosis, needs twice as many organelles, and spends most of its time in
Interphase
The cell will need twice as much dna, Dna replication produces another complete set of chromosomes
S stage or synthesis stage
Chromatin loosely coiled DNA and some organizational proteins is
Euchromatin
Explain G1 checkpoint
Control mechanisms will stop the cell cycle here, DNA damage is a signal to stop the cell cycle
During s phase, the double stranded dna replicates and the chromatin condenses to become the tightly coiled dna in chromosomes is
Heterochromatin
An important stop signal to for the G1 checkpoint, and can cause the cell to undergo the process of apoptosis
P53
If dna replication did not occur correctly, the cell cycle can be stopped here
G2 checkpoint
Programmed cell death
Apoptosis
Proteins that form a core for DNA to wrap around
Histones
Nucleosome is
DNA wrapped around the core
The cell synthesized proteins that are needed for cell division-microtubules are an important example of needed proteins. Spindle fibers are microtubules that were constructed by the centrosome. What stage is this
G2 stage
Name the phases of mitosis
Prophase, pro metaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
