The Cell (PPT based) Part IV Flashcards
also known as the gap phase
G2 phase
follows the S phase and extends to mitosis
G2 phase
lasts 2-4 hours
G2 phase
cell prepares to divide
G2 phase
centrioles grow to maturity
G2 phase
energy required for the completion of mitosis is stored
G2 phase
RNA and proteins necessary for mitosis are synthesized
G2 phase
follows the G2 phase
Mitosis
completes the cell cycle
Mitosis
involves Karyokinesis and Cytokinesis
Mitosis
division of the nucleus
Karyokinesis
division of the cytoplasm resulting in the production of two identical daughter cell
Cytokinesis
last 1-3 hours
Mitosis
4 major stages of Mitosis:
prophase
metaphase
anaphase
telophase
chromosomes condensed and become rod-like
Prophase
centrioles are forming asters
Prophase
nucleus and nuclear envelope disappear
Prophase
condensed chromosomes are aligned at the equatorial plate of the mitotic spindle
Metaphase
chromatids separate at the centromere
Anaphase
daughter chromosomes move to opposite poles of the cell
Anaphase
elongation of the spindle
Anaphase
formation of a cleavage furrow
Anaphase
due to contraction of a band of actin filaments called the contractile ring
Anaphase
deepening of the cleavage furrow which leaves the midbody (containing overlapping polar microtubules) b/w daughter cells
Telophase
facilitating the completion of cytokinesis and formation of 2 identical daughter cells
Telophase
reformation of the nuclear envelope
Telophase
reappearance of nucleoli
Telophase
completed when daughter cells enlarged and dense chromosomes disperse in interphase
Telophase
special form of cell division
MEIOSIS
sex cells divide this type
MEIOSIS
chromosome number is reduced from diploid (2n) to haploid (n)
MEIOSIS
occurs in developing germ cells (spermatozoa and oocytes), fertilization results in diploid zygotes
MEIOSIS
doubling of DNA content in S phase
MEIOSIS
affected by 2 successive cell divisions that give rise to 4 haploid cells
MEIOSIS
accompanied by recombination of maternal and paternal genes by crossing over and random assortment
MEIOSIS
2 stages of meiosis:
A. Reductional division (meiosis I)
B. Equatorial division (meiosis II)
Reductional division (meiosis I):
- Prophase I
a) Leptotene
d) Diplotene
b) Zygotene
e) Diakinesis
c) Pachytene - Metaphase I
- Anaphase I
- Telophase I
5 stages of Prophase I:
a) Leptotene
b) Zygotene
c) Pachytene
d) Diplotene
e) Diakinesis
begins soon after completion of meiosis I
Equatorial division (meiosis II)
events similar to meiosis
Equatorial division (meiosis II)
occurs following interphase during which 46 chromosomes are duplicated giving the cell a 4CDNA content (total DNA content of the cell)
Reductional division (meiosis I)
5 stages of Prophase I:
chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes
Leptotene
5 stages of Prophase I:
each contains 2 chromatids joined at the centromere
Leptotene
5 stages of Prophase I:
homologous maternal and paternal chromosomes pair and make physical contact (synapsis) via the synaptonemal complex, forming a tetrad
Zygotene
5 stages of Prophase I:
where chiasmata are formed
Pachytene
5 stages of Prophase I:
crossing over occurs
Pachytene
5 stages of Prophase I:
random exchange of geners b/w segments of homologous chromosomes
Pachytene
5 stages of Prophase I:
increasing genetic diversity
Pachytene
5 stages of Prophase I:
where chromosomes continue to condense
Diplotene
5 stages of Prophase I:
where chiasmata can be observed
Diplotene
5 stages of Prophase I:
indicating sites where crossing over has taken place
Diplotene
5 stages of Prophase I:
nucleolus disappears
Diakinesis
5 stages of Prophase I:
chromosomes are condensed maximally
Diakinesis
5 stages of Prophase I:
nuclear envelope disappears
Diakinesis
begins soon after completion of meiosis I, following a brief interphase
EQUATORIAL DIVISION (MEIOSIS II)
separation of sister chromatids and distribution into 4 daughter cells each containing
EQUATORIAL DIVISION (MEIOSIS II)
