Q

Explain the two ways in Bacteria reproduce

A

1) binary) fission
Makes a copy and then splits in half
Fission is a fast process

2) Obtain DNA through conjugation (E. Coli)
Only possible in bacteria with a second loop of DNA- called a plasmid
Donor
Pili (Pilus)- or a conjugation tube
Formed by protein extension from the cell wall
Formed between the same strain of bacteria
Plasmid DNA is replicated and transferred through the tube to the recipient cell
Maintains the ability to make more pili
Closest things to bacteria sexual reproduction

Q

After replication, each chromosome…

A

consists of 2 double strands ( sister chromatids- each strand of replicated DNA) that are attached to each other at a centromere (portion of DNA not replicated- this holds the DNA together)

Q

What happens in GI?

A

Organelles replicate (make copies)

23
Q

What happens in synthesis?

A

DNA replication- Called chromatids (X)

24
Q

What happens in GII?

A

The cell double checks the duplicated chromosomes for errors, manying any needed repairs
Materials for spindle assembled

25
Q

Cells spend ___ > of their time in interphase

A

90%

26
Q

In interphase,

A

Nucleus is visible- chromosomes look like spaghetti

27
Q

What are the stages of mitosis?

A

Prophase
Protometaphase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase

28
Q

What happens in prophase?

A

Nucleus disintegrates
Chromosomes become visible because they condense
Looks like roti

29
Q

What happens in protometaphase?

A

Chromosomes attach to the spindle ( set of protein fibers called microtubules)
Spindel has opposing poles
Chromosomes separates and move toward opposite poles
Spindle allows for the chromosomes to migrate and separate into two daughter cells

30
Q

What happens in metaphase?

A

Chromosomes align in the middle of the cell

31
Q

What happens in anaphase?

A

Sister chromatids constricts and the spindle pulls apart the sister chromatids

32
Q

What happens in telophase?

A

2 nuclei begin forming
Formation occurs at the metaphase plate- right where the chromosomes align in metaphase

33
Q

When does cytoplasm divides take place?

A

In most eukaryotic cells, cytoplasm divides between late anaphase and the end of telophase

34
Q

What is cytokinesis?

A

Process of cytoplasmic division

35
Q

Explain Cytoplasmic Division in animal cells?

A

contractile ring, also called a cleavage furrow
Actin filaments rings cell midsection, contrats and divides cytoplasm in half
Pinched in half by the formation of microfilaments

36
Q

Contractile ring is also called a

A

cleavage furrow

37
Q

When does Cytokinesis occur?

A

when chromosomes were in metaphase

38
Q

Explain cytoplasmic division in plants

A

Cell plate
Midway between spindle poles via phragmoplast
Divides cytoplasm when it reaches and connects to the parent cell well
Microtubles help lay down the foundation of the cell wall
Daughter cells get smaller and smaller as they divide and this is important in a plant’s regulation

39
Q

What are several Extrinsic (Environmental factors) of cell regulation?

A

death of nearby cell
release of growth promoting hormones, such as HGH
SA: V ratio decreases
When cell size decreases, the amount of surface area decreases in ratio to volume
Can stimulate production to increase the surface area
Crowding of cells can inhibit cell

40
Q

What are several intrinsic factor of cell regulation?

A

G1
Checkpoint
G2
Checking to make sure the spindle is correct
M (Mitotic phase)
Occurs in anaphase- formation of 2 daughter cells

41
Q

What is a Positive Regular Molecule?

A

Cyclins

42
Q

What are Negative regulator Molecules?

A

The cell cycle will stop
Can halt cell cycle until specific requirements are met
Retinoblastoma proteins
* tumor-suppressor proteins act primarily at G1 checkpoint
E2F’s (elongation factors) are a group of gene regulating proteins- can promote or inhibit cell cycle
promote cell division if it binds to the chromosomes
If it doesn’t bind- cell division can be halted

43
Q

What areE2F’s (elongation factors)?

A

a group of gene regulating proteins- can promote or inhibit cell cycle promote cell division if it binds to the chromosomes
If it doesn’t bind- cell division can be halted

44
Q

What are the jobs of P53 AND P21 Regulation?

A

P53 &P21 prevent duplicate of faulty DNA
sTOP s phase from occuring by regulating at the G1 level
P53 promotes transcription of a number of target genes
P21 is one of them
p21 is a negative regulator of cyclin dependent kinases (CDK)
p53 is a tumor suppressor gene

45
Q

If a mutation were present in a gamete:

A

Mutated p53 gene
Mutant protein
Hallmark of cancer cell
Cycle keeps going even if DNA is faulty
Markers- looking for proteins suppressing genes

46
Q

Discuss cancer and cell divison.

A

Result of unchecked cell division
Breakdown of mechanism that regulate cell cycle
Lead to a protein that does not function as it should
These mistakes will be passed to daughter cells. Eventually, all checkpoints won’t work, rapidly reproducing cells crowd out normal cells, resulting in cancer.

47
Q

What is a plasmid?

A

The second loop of DNA of bacteria (E. Coli)

48
Q

What is a centromere

A

portion of DNA not replicated- this holds the DNA together)

49
Q

________ chromosomes contain fragments of DNA exchanged between homologues.

A

Recombinant

50
Q

Plants utilize a(n) ________ life strategy.

A

alternation of generations

51
Q

A pericentric inversion likely played a role in the evolutionary divergence of ________.

A

chimpanzees and humans

52
Q

________ are useful for identifying abnormal chromosomal numbers.

A

Karyograms

53
Q

Human ________ are named based on approximate size order.

A

chromosomes

54
Q

Mitotic spindle microtubules connect to ________ during prometaphase.

A

kinetochores
