LECTURE 15 Flashcards
What do the signals that control cell division for eukaryotes related to?
The function of the entire organism, not the individual cell.
Do eukaryotes of multiple origins and if so, why?
Yes, because their chromosomes are very long
Why is eukaryotes DNA segregation more complicates then prokaryotes
- nuclear envelope
- multiple chromosomes
- each chromosome can be very long
Replicated DNA molecules becomes very ___________ in the __________ before they segregate in eukaryotes
Condensed Nucleus
Chromatin
A complex of DNA and proteins that are the building materials for chromosomes
Sister chromatids
Two copies of replicated DNA that are connected to each other
Centromere
A physical construction of the duplicated chromosome. Sister chromatids attach at this site.
Eukaryotes cytokinesis
- division of cytoplasm
- final stage of cell reproduction
- different in plant and animals cells
Do the number of chrome men’s correlate with the complexity of the organism ?
NO
Each chromosomes form each parent are closely matched in :
- physical appearance
- genetic info content (NOT identical)
All parts of interphase
M = mitotic phase G1 = Gap phase S = DNA synthesis phase G2 = Gap 2 phase
Interphase
- chromosomes present but NOT visible
- metabolic activity and growth occur, control decisions to grow.
G1 phase
Prepares the cell for DNA replication by growing in size.
Start of S phase
DNA replication when the two strands of helix unwind (starting at the origin)
- each serves as a template for synthesis of a new strand
REPLICATION OF DNA
End of S phase
Each chromosome (there are 2) consists of one old strand and one new strand
- chromatids are tight to associated at Centro mere region
G2 phase
cell prepares for chromes segregation and cell division
- centrioles duplicate (new one (daughter centriole, d) grows out of the older centriole (mother centriole, m))
- Nucleolus visible
- chromes duplicated but NOT condensed
