Q

What is the process of binary fission

A

Q

prior and after replication:

A

prior: each chromosome is composed of a single dna molecule
after: each chromsomes is comp[osed of two idenical DNA molecules
visable as to chromosome as they become more condensed
-held together by cohesion pro.

Q

what happens in G2

A

organelles replicate, microtubles organise, use motor pro. to coil tightly, chromatids stay attached at centromere by cohesin pro., centromeres replicate

22
Q

cytokensis

A

seperation of 2 new cells

23
Q

kinetochore:

A

attachement site for microtubles

24
Q

cytokenesis vs kinetochore

A
25
Q

congression?

A

chromosomes move to center of cell

26
Q

aster?

A

array of microtubles

27
Q

sexual life cycle

A

made up of meiosis and fertilization

28
Q

diploid cell

A

humans are diploids, somatic cells of adults have 2 sets of chromosomes

29
Q

haploid cell

A

gametes only have one set of chromosomes untill fertlized with sperm

30
Q

crossing over?

A

allows homologous to exchange coromosomal material

31
Q

chiasmata?

A

site of homologous crossing over, 2-3 crossing over per chromosome

32
Q

1st meiotic division is called what

A

reduction division

33
Q

is there DNA replication BETWEEN MEIOTIC DIVISIONS

A

NO

34
Q

2nd meiotic division does not…?

A

further reduce the number of chromosomes

35
Q

meiosis 1 and 2 phases:

A
  1. prophase 1
    2.metaphase 1
  2. anaphase 1
  3. telophase 1
  4. prophase 2
  5. metaphase 2
  6. anaphase 2
  7. telophase 2
36
Q

what are the final products of meiosis 2?

A
  • 4 cells containing haploid sets
  • in animals, gamete is develped
37
Q

synapsis?

A

during early prophase 1..

  1. homologous become closely associated
  2. includes formation of synaptonemay complexes
38
Q

what happens in prophase 1 of MEIOSIS

A
  • spindle forms
  • chromosomes coil tighter
    -crossing over occurs
  • each chromosome made up of 2 sis chromatids
  • remain attached to chisamata
39
Q

what happens in metaphase 1 of MEIOSIS

A
  • chiasmata holds homologous together after crossing over
    -microtubules from each pole attach to each homologue
    -homologues are lined in the middle
40
Q

what happens in anaphase 1 of MEIOSIS

A
  • microtubles of spindle shorten
  • chiasmata breaks
    homolouges are seperated from each other and moved to opposite ends of poles
  • each pole has a complete hapolid (23) set of chromosomes
41
Q

what happens in telophase 1 of MEIOSIS

A
  • nuclear envelope reforms
  • sister chromatids are no longer identical
  • cytokinesis may/may not occur after telophase 1
42
Q

what are the steps of meiosis 2?

A
43
Q

nondisjunction?

A

faliure of chromosomes to move to oppositve poles nuring meiotic division

44
Q

    -partner with different cyclins during different parts of cell cycle
    -CDK controlled by phosphloration
46
Q

what do growth factors do?

A

override cellular control that can inhibit cell division
trigger intercellular signaling systems

47
Q

genes that commonly cause cancer

A
  1. proto-oncogene
    - normal cell gene that becomes mutated
  2. tumor supressor genes
    - messes up with P53 that moniters if DNA is made how it should be
    -generally haults cell division and repairs enzymes if damage to dna
    - absent in cancer genes
48
Q

what is the product of meiosis 1

A

2 daughter cells with one homologue from each chromosome pair

49
Q

what is the product of meiosis 2

A

homologous chromosomes pair snypasus and crossing over occur
