Q

what is a replisome

A

all the enzymes involved in DNA replication

17
Q

leading strand synthesis

A

continuous synthesis

  • whole strand extended by
  • 1 rna primer removed and replaced by DNA
  • DNA ligase seals backbone of new strand
18
Q

lagging strand synthesis

A

discontinuous synthesis

  • many okazaki fragments extended by DNA polymerase
  • Manr RNA primers removed and replaced by DNA
19
Q

DNA Repair

A

errors made during S phase

fixed by specific or nonspecific repair mechanisms

20
Q

Photorepair

A

Damage from UV light

-photolyase absorbs rest of light and breaks thymine dimer

21
Q

excision repair

A
  • a non specific repair mechanism
  • damaged region is removed
  • replaced by DNA synthesis
22
Q

end of S phase

A

kayotype is doubled

  • 2 identical dna fibers
  • held together by proteins at the centromere
23
Q

after S phase

A

replicates centrioles
-condensing chromosomes
once visible- M phase

24
Q

The five phases of mitosis

A
  1. prophase
  2. prometaphase
  3. metaphase
  4. anaphase
  5. telophase
25
Q

prophase

A

chromosomes become slightly visible

  • centrioles move to opposite poles forming spindle apparatus
  • nuclear membrane starts to break down
26
Q

prometaphase

A

centrioles connect to kinetochore

-chromosomes begin to move to the center of the cell

27
Q

metaphase

A

chromosomes align along the center plate

28
Q

anaphase

A

chromosomes split at centromere

-sister chromatids pulled to opposite poles

29
Q

telophase

A

nuclear membrane reforms

  • chromosomes begin to uncoil
  • chromatids are on opposite sides
30
Q

cytokinesis

A

cleave furrow appears

-cell begins to split in half

31
Q

g1/s checkpoint

A

cell decides to divide

32
Q

g2/m checkpoint

A

asses success of DNA replication

checks to see if there is enough for 2 cells

33
Q

late metaphase checkpoint

A

checks to ensure all chromosomes are attached to their spindle
-did everything go to the right cell?

34
Q

Proto-onco Genes

A

controls normal cell

protein that can be stuck in β€œon” mode for uncontrolled cell division

35
Q

tumor-supressor genes

A

defense against proto-onco

ensures it makes the correct amount of cells

36
Q

apoptosis

A

programmed cell death

37
Q

necrosis

A

accidental cell death
