Q

What is the purpose of a condenser diaphragm?

A

Q

Differential Interference Contrast (DIC)

Aka Nomarski

A

Similar to Phase Contrast microscopy

It utilizes polarized light to create two separate coherent image components which are then recombined

The interference generated during the recombination allows for difference in refractive index to be detected, thereby creating increased contrast

Q

Fluorescence Microscopy

A

Fluorescent dyes (fluorochromes) are able to absorb wavelength at a particular light and re-emit light at a slightly longer wavelength of light

These dyes are then typically linked to antibodies or other compounds which bind to specific cellular structures

Q

How does Scanning Electron Microscopy work?

A

The specimen is preserved and coated in a fine layer of gold

When electrons are projected at the specimen, they reflect off the gold and are detected by sensors which generates the image

Since the specimen is gold-coated only external details are evident

Q

How does Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) work?

A

The specimen must be embedded in a hard resin and then cut into then secions

The sections are stained with electron-opaque stains which differentially bind to various intracellular components

Electrons are projected onto the specimens and will either pass through the specimens or are blocked

Detectors collect the transmitted electron to generate an image

88
Q

Diakinesis (3 main events)

The nucleus is now prepared for what?

A

“moving apart”

Contraction and repulsion continue

Chromosomes detach form nuclear envelope

RNA synthesis stops

The nucleus is now prepared for the two critical maturation divisions

89
Q

Why do the chromosomes look so weird (rings, crosses, bars, coils) during diakinesis?

A

Terminalization of chiasmata on the bivalent pairs continues during diakineses

90
Q

Metaphase I meiosis

A

terminalized bivalents (doubled homologous chromosomes) line up at the equatorial plate

DIFFERENT from MITOSIS (homologous chromosomes)

91
Q

Anaphase I of Meiosis (3 events and end result)

A

homologous chromosomes migrate to respective poles

Centrosomes have never divided

Any chiasmata become free

Each end of the cell now has a haploid set of chromosomes (two chromatids)

92
Q

Telophase I

A

symbolically ends the first phase of meiosis

THIS IS A REDUCTIONAL DIVISION

93
Q

If cells form at telophase I what genetic makeup would they have?

A

They would be genetically haploid

94
Q

Does telophase happen in all cell types?

95
Q

What must happen to have a Prophase II?

What does Prophase II mark?

A

Prophase II is only present if a telophase I and pseudo interphase are present

This is the beginning of the equational division

96
Q

Metaphase II

A

Centromeres line up on equatorial plate

(same as metaphase of mitosis?)

97
Q

Anaphase II

A

Centromeres divide

The division splits the replicated chromosomes
