Q

What happens during the longest step of the cell cycle?

A

Interphase:
*Cell size doubles
*Ribosomes synthesize proteins
**DNA duplicated inside nucleus
Where sister chromatids are formed

Q

Prophase (longest step of mitosis)

A

Condense chromosomes in nucleus
nuclear membrane dissolves
Centrioles spit out spindle fibers that anchor chromosomes

Q

Anophase

A

Spindle fibers pull apart chromosomes into chromatids- must be split perfectly (CHECKPOINT - where mistake can occur)

Q

What is cancer?

A

Cells without regulation on proliferation

17
Q

How do cancerous cells form

A

When there is a mistake during the mitosis process (usually during checkpoings like interphase and anaphase) and the cell becomes mutated so that they do not die and keep proliferating

18
Q

Chromatin

A

long, loose, thin stands of DNA

19
Q

Chromotid

A

One copy of a chromosome

20
Q

Chromosome

A

Single double-stranded DNA molecule

21
Q

Centromere

A

The where chromosomes/chromatids meet in the middle

22
Q

Sister chromatids

A

Identical copies (chromatids) of a chromosome
