Q

What happens in step one of DNA replication? (unwinding of the DNA molecule)

A

helicase unwinds the DNA molecule and breaks the hydrogen bonds between nitrogen bases, DNA template strands separate, DNA nitrogen bases are left exposed (unpaired), RNA primase adds a primer to a “promoter” region on DNA template strands to begin replication

Q

What happens in step two of DNA replication? (complementary nitrogen base pairing)

A

new DNA nucleotides with their nitrogen bases diffuse into the nucleus and the nitrogen bases pair up with their complements on the DNA template strands, new DNA nucleotides with their nitrogen bases pair up with complements in a 5’ to 3’ direction according to the new strand, DNA polymerase acts as a “proof reader” to ensure that the correct nucleotide with its nitrogen base is in the proper place, hydrogen bonds form between complementary nitrogen bases

Q

What happens in step three of DNA replication? (joining of the DNA nucleotides)

A

Q

What happens in prophase?

A

chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, nuclear membrane begins to break down and eventually disappears, nucleolus disappears, pairs of centrioles migrate to opposite poles of the cell, spindle fibers appear, asters appear;
(centrioles and asters are only found in animal cells)

Q

What happens in metaphase?

A

distinct and short-lived; centromeres of the chromosomes align themselves at the equator, spindle fiber formation is complete and the spindle fibers attach to the centromere of the duplicated chromosomes

Q

What happens in anaphase?

A

centromeres of the duplicated chromosomes will split, chromatids separate and move away from one another, chromatids are now called chromosomes, chromosomes migrate to opposite poles of the cell

Q

What happens in telophase?

A

chromosomes reach their poles and uncoil back into chromatin, nuclear membrane reforms around the chromatin, a new nucleolus reappears, spindle fibers disassemble and dissappear, asters disappear, cytokinesis begins

Q

properties of meiosis: genetics

A

cells are genetically variable

28
Q

chromosomes that contain similar genes at corresponding loci (locations) along their length

A

homologous chromosomes

29
Q

the homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material

A

crossing-over

30
Q

When does crossing-over occur?

A

Prophase I of Meiosis I

31
Q

Why is crossing-over important?

A

leads to a high degree of genetic variability among cells

32
Q

What are the differences between mitosis, meiosis I, and meiosis II?

A 
mitosis: chromosome number stays the same, PMAT;
meiosis I (reduction division): chromosome number is reduced to half of the original, PMAT I, crossing-over;
meiosis II (equational division): chromosome number is not reduced again, PMAT II
33
Q

How is interphase different from interkinesis?

A

DNA is not replicated in Interkinesis.

Q

If you are given the diploid number, how do you determine the haploid number?
