Lecture 12 - Cellular Respiration Flashcards
what are chromosomes made out of
repeating chromatids
what is chromatin
DNA + packaging proteins
are chromatins visible when cell is not dividing
barely visible
in what is DNA loosely packed and accessible for cell
in chromatin
describe chromosome structure
chromosomes -> chromatin -> nucleosomes -> DNA and histones
events between 1 cell division and the next
Cell Cycle
collective term for all of the DNA and associated proteins in a cell’s nucleus
chromatin
a discrete, continuous molecule of DNA wrapped around protein. Eukaryotic cells contain multiple linear chromosomes, whereas bacterial cells each contain one circular chromosome
chromosome
one of two identical attached copies that make up a replicated chromosome
chromatid
a small part of a chromosome that attaches each sister chromatids to each other
centromere
what is mitosis used for
growth, repair, renew, asexual reproduction
what is mitosis not used for
sexual reproduction
what are the stages of Mitosis
prophase
metaphase
anaphase
telophase
what stage is cell not divided but very active
interphase
what stage does mitotic spindle pull to aline all chromosomes in middle of cell
metaphase
what stage does mitotic spindle break down
telophase
what stage do all chromosomes condense (chromatin compact)
prophase
