Mitosis Flashcards
Mitosis
Division of nucleaus of cell
Cell division increases number of what type of cells
Somatic
Cytokinesis
Division of cytoplasm
Stages of interphase
G1 S G2
G1
Organelles double in number
Accumulated materials needed for division
S stage
DNA replication
S=synthesis
G2
Synthesis of proteins needed for division
Miotic stage
Follows interphase
Includes mitosis and cytokinesis
What must be present in order for stages to progress otherwise apoptosis will occur
Protein Cyclin
Control of cell cycle
G2 checkpoint
M checkpoint
G1checkpoint
G2 check point
Stops cycle if DNA is damaged or not replicating
M checkpoint
Stops if chromosomes are not aligned
G1 checkpoint
Protein p53 stops cycle if DNA is damaged
When does apoptosis occur
If DNA isn’t good
What happens in apoptosis
Cell becomes spherical
Nucleaus breaks up and cell becomes fragmented which occurs bc of two enzymes called caspases
What do the 2 caspases do in apoptosis
One set initiates the events that occur in apoptosis
One activates enzymes that digest cell
Chromatin
Tangled mass of thread like DNA
Chromosomes
Condensed or rodshaped DNA molecules during division
Diploid
Chromosome number, chromosomes in pairs
Haploid
Half the diploid number found in gannets
What is each duplicated chromosome composed of
2 sister chromatids held together by a centromere
Prophase
Nuclear membrane disappears
Metaphase
Chromosomes line up at equator associated with spindle fibers
Anaphase
Centromeres divide, sister chromatids migrate to opposite poles and cytokinins begins
