Q

How does binary fission work?

A

The circular bacterial chromosome is replicated and the cell begins to separate, forming a septum in between the two cells, before completely pinching off.

17
Q

How do chromatids stay together?

A

Both sister chromatid has a centromere that attach to each other.

18
Q

What is the prophase?

A

When the chromosomes are condensed, the spindle apparatus is assembled, and the nuclear envelope breaks down.

19
Q

How is the spindle apparatus formed?

A

Two centrioles move to opposite poles.

20
Q

What is an aster?

A

A radial array of microtubules in animals.

21
Q

Do plants have centrioles or asters?

A

no.

22
Q

What is the prometaphase?

A

When the microtubules attach to the kinetochores and the chromosomes are moved to the center of the cell.

23
Q

What is the metaphase?

A

When the chromosomes are aligned with the metaphase plate.

24
Q

What is the anaphase?

A

When the chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles.

25
Q

What is the telophase?

A

When the spindle apparatus disassembles and the nuclear envelope forms around each set of sister chromatids and the chromatids relax.

26
Q

After separating, what are the sister chromatids called?

A

Chromosomes.

27
Q

What is cytokinesis?

A

When the cells split into equal halves.

28
Q

How is cytokinesis different in plant cells and animal cells?

A

In animals the actin filament constricts to separate the 2 cells, but in plants the cell plate forms between the nuclei.

29
Q

What are controls of the cell cycle?

A

The cell cycle has 2 irreversible points and can be put on hold at specific points called checkpoints.

30
Q

What are the two irreversible points of the cell cycle?

A
  1. Once the chromosomes are replicated
  2. Once the sister chromatids are separated.
31
Q

Where are the 3 checkpoints in the cell cycle?

A
  1. G1/S checkpoint
  2. G2/M checkpoint
  3. Late metaphase checkpoint
32
Q

What is the G1/S checkpoint?

A

checkpoint where the cell decides whether or not to reproduce.

33
Q

What is the G2/M checkpoint?

A

When the cell commits the mitosis and checks to see if the DNA was replicated properly.

34
Q

What is the late metaphase checkpoint?

A

The cell checks to make sure the chromosomes are attached to the spindle.

35
Q

What are 3 cell cycle control factors?

A
  1. MPF
    2.Cyclins
  2. cdc2
36
Q

What is MPF?

A

Maturation-promoting factor.

37
Q

What is MPF made of?

A

Cyclin and cdc2.

38
Q

What is cdk?

A

Cyclin-dependent kinase or cyclin complex.

39
Q

what is ckd important for?

A

driving the cell cycle.

40
Q

What activates and inactivates the cdk?

A

phosphorylation.
