Reproductive cells: sperm and eggs) have half as many chromosomes as Somatic cells.
What are Chromatin?
a complex of DNA and protein that reduces during cell division.
What is Chromatid?
is one half of a duplicated chromosome.
When are Chromatids form?
During chromosome duplication
What are Centromere?
holds the chromatids together
What are Telomeres?
repeating sequences at the ends of chromosomes that replication of the end of the chromosomes. Preservation of the end of each chromosome.
What shapes are Eukaryotic chromosomes?
linear chromosomes
What shape are Prokaryotes?
have circular DNA
Eukaryotic cell division consists of?
Mitosis, Cytokinesis, Mitotic phase, Gametes
What is Mitosis?
The division of the nucleus
What is Cytokinesis?
the division of the cytoplasm
What is Mitotic phase?
together mitosis and cytokinesis
What is meiosis?
variation of cell division. Sperm and eggs
What are the steps to the cell cycle?
-Interphase (transcription and translation happens)
-G1 (the cell grows physically and increases the volume of both protein and organelles)
-S stage ( Each of the 46 chromosomes is duplicated by the cell)
-G2 ( repairs errors)
-M phase 1 (Mitosis is division of chromosomes, genetic material)
- Cytokinesis Phase 2 (is the division of the rest of the cell )
In a diploid cell with four chromosome pairs (2n = 8), how many centromeres will be found in a nucleus at G2 of the cell division cycle?
8
What are the five phases of mitosis?
-Prophase
-Prometaphase
-Metaphase
-Anaphase
-Telophase
What is Kinetochore?
Where the microtubules attaches to the chromosomes in the centrosome.
What is happens cleavage furrows in miosis?
draws the plasma membrane toward the cell center, pinching the cytoplasm into two lobes that are subsequently separated into two cells.
what is phycoplast?
ensures that the plane of cell division passes exactly between the two daughter nuclei.
What is phragmoplast?
Formation that divides the two daughter cells.
What is binary fission?
a process by which a single cell splits into two cells to multiply
What cells use binary fission?
Prokaryotic cells
Which of the following events would be most likely to produce cells with several nuclei?
repeated mitosis without cytokinesis
Besides the ability of cancer cells to divide intensively, what else could logically result in a tumor?
lack of appropriate cell death
Name four things that you should do or avoid to do to decrease the chances for cancer development.
keeping a healthy weight, avoiding tobacco, limiting the amount of alcohol you drink, and protecting your skin.
_ are the major lipids of plasma membranes.
Phospholipids
What is Maturation promoting factor?
is the signal for chromosomes to enter mitosis and for the cell for later on to enter cytokinesis
Which of the following statements best describes what would happen if MPF (maturation-promoting factor) is introduced into immature frog oocytes that are arrested in G2?
The cells would enter mitosis.
Students in a biology lab isolated cells in various phases of the cell cycle. A population of cells that have twice the DNA of G1 phase cells was most likely isolated from which of the following part of the cell cycle?
in the G2 phase
What is Maturation promoting made of?
-Cyclins
Kinases
What does Cyclin-dependent kinase do?
When the cell goes through G1, S, G2, and M the kinase
After the cell finishes the DNA synthesis is progressing through G2, before it arrives to the check points G2 check points the cyclin is attached to it and forming a dimer
What are the signals that turn the cell cycle on?
Density-dependent inhibition
What is Heredity?
Is the transmission of recipes of traits. You get the recipe the genes from your parents on how to make the proteins.
Which of the following events occurs during telophase?
How does Prophase look like?
chromosomes become visible because the chromosomes condense.
How does Prometaphase look like?
the nuclear envelope disappears
What does Metaphase look like?
chromosomes a line on a metaphase plate/ invisible metaphase plate
What happens in Anaphase?
sister chromatids separate
What happened in Telophase?
re-formation of the nuclear envelope and cytokinesis quickly follows mitosis.
How come chromosomes can move?
they move because of Microtubules. Microtubules attached to them
What is Locus?
genes are located in the linear order on a chromosome
What is asexual reproduction?
that’s when the parental organism gives rise to next generation without contribution from the other sexual partner
What are homologous chromosomes?
identical Chromosomes from mom and dad
What is Karyotype?
is the chromosomes in order from biggest to smallest
What is Human somatic cells?
any cell other than a gamete) have 23 pairs of chromosomes
What is a diploid stage?
we got our generic material from one parent and from another parent so two copies so we are diploid.
What is haploid?
The number of chromosome we get from one parent is 23
What is autosomes?
23 chromosomes that have noting to do with your sex chromosomes
What is zygote?
The product of fertilization of that fusion
What are the Two steps for Sexual reproduction?
Meiosis
Fertilization
How meiosis reduces chromosome number?
-start with homologous chromosomes in diploid stage
- Chromosomes replicate
- sister chromatids
- Meiosis I separates
-Meiosis II sister chromatids separate
What does not happen in mitosis, but happens in Meiosis?
The two replication DNA found itself and they form a homologous pair.
What are the Stages of Meiosis?
-prophase I (When homologous chromosomes pair, they can exchange pieces of genetic material this is known as crossing over
they can exchange a pieces of genetic material between non-sister chromatids
-Metaphase I (Where homologous chromosomes align on the metaphase plate)
-Anaphase I ( We have homologous chromosomes separate. Sister chromatids remain attaches and move toward the pole
Telophase I and Cytokinesis)
- Meiosis II (without DNA replication)
-Prophase II (each still composed of two chromatids moves toward the metaphase plate)
-Metaphase II ( arranged at the metaphase plate)
-Anaphase II (the sister chromatids separate)
-Telophase II and Cytokinesis (the chromosomes arrive at the opposite poles and Nuclei form and chromosomes start decondensing)
