Lecture notes from Dr. Scotts Summer session biology 1020 class
While in interphase how does DNA exist?
As chromatin
1 chromosome equals how many DNA?
1 piece of DNA just physically attached
After replication but before division a chromosome has what kind of chromatids?
2 sister chromatid (when they separate they are chromosomes)
cell division in prokaryotes is called
binary fission (two daughter cells identical to mother)
cell division in eukaryotes is called
Mitosis (two daughter cells identical to mother)
Does meiosis occur in prokaryotes?
No! Only eukaroyote (but not all)
90-95% of the cell life is spent where?
In interphase- the cell is working and doing it’s job
3 main parts of interphase
G1 phase
S phase
G2 phase
the cell is doing more than it is regular duties, growing and working which phase of interphase is this?
G1 phase
The cell starts to copy DNA, going from single stranded chomatin to the double stranded form. Which phase of interphase is this?
S phase
The cell is getting ready for division, making sure all organelles expanded enough. After this phase the cell will be ready to divide and enter Mitosis.
G2 phase
DNA is condensed into chromosomes. The centrosomes move and devide by pushing eachother with microtubes to the opposite poles of the cell. Creating fingers that reach out across the creating a spindle
Which phase in mitosis
Prophase
Which phase in mitosis- the nucleur envelope needs to be broke down, the spindles attach to the chromosomes at the centermere and have a pushing battle
Prometaphase
which phase of mitosis pushes the chromosomes to the middle of the cells equater. the cells line up
metaphase
the centermeres split the sister chromatids going from one double stranded chromosome to 2 single stranded chromosomes. The spindle fibers shorten and pull the chromatides apart creating a “V” shaped. Each pole has one copy of genome
Anaphase
Final stage of mitosis where there are two nuclear envelopes reforming creating to nuclei. Chromosomes disperse and spindles go away
Telophase
The division of the cytoplasm to make two cells
Cytokinesis
Membranes pulling in and creating two daughter cells
Cleavage furros
How do plants separate cells?
work from the inside and build a cell wall until it gets bigger and separates into two daughter cells.
the three check points (stops) to control cell cycle are located at
G1, M, and G2
G1 check point (stop) is located? and what is required to continue to the next level
at the end of the G1 point to enter s phase.
must have enough nutrients and be large enough and DNA must be good.
Where do cells go if they are stopped at the G1 Check and do not qualify to continue?
G0-for cells to never divide like nureons and skin cells
G2 check point
makes sure replication was successful and complete. Finds big errors
Metaphase check point
cell will not progess until all the chromosomes have lined up with two spindles attached to them.
Cell elongates and pinches off in the center creating two identical daughter cells is cell division in bacteria… which is..
Binary Fission
Why do cells divide?
For reproduction, growth and to repair
what are the pros to asexual reproduction?
fast, energy saving, passing 100% of your genes to your offspring
What are the cons to asexual reproduction
no genetic diversity the population is all the same
Recombination is
the exchange of information between the chromosomes can create new variations on the genetic gene
multi cell stage adult (2n) with in gonads there will be a sex cell that undergoes meiosis to form gamets (haploids) eggs and sperms (1n) the union of an egg and sperm by fertilazation makes a zygote (2n). what life cycle is this? Animals, fungi or plants?
Animals (diplonic life cycle)
multicellular organisms that are haploid. positive and negative gamete are produced by mitosis. when fertilized the two haploid gametes fuse to form a diploid zygote. immediatly dividing by meiosis to produce haploid structures called spores
Fungi life cycle
what is the only way that a haploid cell can divide?
through mitosis
