New Deck for Exam 4: Chandra Flashcards
What is the centromere?
-point of constriction
kinetochore?
-attachment site for microtubules
how to chromatids stay attached at centromere?
cohesin
interphase includes what?
G1, S, G2
what are the check points in the cell cycle?
G1/ S checkpoint: Cell decides to divide, primary point for external cell influence
G2/S checkpoint: cell makes comiment to mitosis, make sure DNA replicated properly
Late metaphase: cell makes sure all chromosomes are attached to spindle
What are the irreversible points in the cell cycle?
- after synthesis or DNA replication
- separation of sister chromatids
How do bacteria divide and what are the three facts associated with bacterial division?
- bacteria cells divide by binary fission
1. Singular circular chromosome
2. replication is clonal
3. there is no sexual life cycle
chromosomes are made up of?
- 60 precent protein, 40 precent chromatin
What is the process of binary fission
- starts at orgin of replication
- procceeds biodirectionally to site of termination
- septum forms to divide cell into two, FTZ protein makes the rings that seperates the bacteria
In the NONDIVIDING NUCLEUS
compare heterochromatin and euchromatin
heterochromatin: chromatin packed tightly, not expressed
euchromatin: expressed, not packed tight, when work happens
what is the best way to store DNA
nucelosome
what is the nucelosome and histone?
- complex of DNA and histone proteins, promote and guide coiling of DNA
- histone is + charged , attracted to - phosphate group in dna
-DNA duplex coiledaround 8 histone proteins every 147 base pairs
solenoids?
nucelosomes wrapped into higer ordered coils, usual state of nondividing chromatin
how is chromatin in solenoid arranged?
arranged around scaffold of protein for maximum compaction in mitosis, looping is aided by CONDENSIN PROTEIN
What are the levels of chromosome organization?
- starts as DNA double helix, then solenoid
- chromatin loop, looks like magnet C shape
- chromatin loop, looks like flowers coiled around scaffold
- chromosomes in the form of idenical sis chromatin, only occurs when cells are about to divide
prior and after replication:
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.
Order of mitosis?
- prophase
- prometaphase
- metaphase
- anaphase
- telophase
order of cell cycle?
- G1
- S
- G2
- M
- Cytokenesis
What happens in G1
primary growth phase, longest phase
what happens in S
Dna replication
