Q

Mitosis occurs because of 3 things

A
  1. Master programing allows for orderly and timely progression
  2. DNA is copied almost perfectly
  3. Cables and motors of the cytoskeleton divide chromosome

27
Q

G1 phase

A

Cell function, some growth, some cells go to G0. Varies in length. Chromosomes are organized and lightly packed

28
Q

G2 phase

A

DNA replication and chromosome duplication. 10-12 hr

29
Q

G3 phase

A

More cell growth, 4-6 hours

30
Q

Mitosis length

A

Less than an hour

31
Q

G0 phase

A

Cells can reenter G1 to start dividing or just live the rest of their lives.

32
Q

Internal mechanisms

A

Regulate mitotic processes. Effected by hormones and growth factors

33
Q

Stages of mitosis

A

Prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

34
Q

Prophase

A

Chromosomes become chromatin, nucleolis becomes smaller and eventually disapears, mitotic spindles form between the centrosomes, microtubules radiate from the spindle poles

35
Q

Chromatin

A

Compact rod shaped DNA. Appears like thin threads under a microscope

36
Q

Prometaphase

A

Starts when the nuclear envelope breaks down. Some spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes

37
Q

Centromere

A

Kinetochore that holds chromatids together

38
Q

Kinetochore

A

A complex of proteins

39
Q

Kinetochore microtubules

A

Attach to kinetochore and therefore determine the outcome of mitosis

40
Q

Metaphase

A

Spindle fibers move the chromosomes to the spindle midpoint (metaphase plate) and condensation is completed.

41
Q

What is formed in metaphase

A

A karyotype

42
Q

Karyotype

A

An arrangement of chromosomes according to size and shape

43
Q

Anaphase

A

Chromatids move to opposite polls. Movement starts at the centromeres. Daughter chromosomes are now on either side of the cell

44
Q

Telophase

A

Spindle fibers disappear and chromosomes decondense. Nuclear envelope and nucleolus reform. 1 cell with 2 separate nucleus’ exists

45
Q

Cytokinesis

A

The division of the cytoplasm starting in telophase resulting in 2 daughter cells. The nucleus is in G1 of interphase

46
Q

Cytokinesis in animals, fungi, and protists

A

The furrow gridles the cell and eventually cuts it

47
Q

Cytokinesis in plants

A

A cell plate grows through the cytoplasm dividing it and making a new cell

48
Q

Furrowing

A

Spindle fibers stretch out from the spindle midpoint across the cell, microfilaments form a belt inside the plasma membrane that condenses using motor proteins until the cell pinches into 2 cells

49
Q

Cell plate formation

A

Microtubules act as a guide for vesicles from the ER and Golgi complex. The vesicles fuse and span the spindle midpoint. When they are all the way across the cell, the 2 cells separate

50
Q

Mitotic spindle

A

Made of microtubules and their proteins

51
Q

Mitotic spindles in mitosis

A

Microtubules disassemble from cytoskeleton and reorganize to become spindle , filling almost the whole cell

52
Q

2 pathways for mitotic spindles

A

Centromere or no no centromere. The results are almost identical

53
Q

Microtubule organizing center

A

The centrosome. Anchors the cytoskeleton and positions the organelles during interphase

54
Q

Centrioles

A

1 pair/centrosome. They exist 90 to each other. The generate microtubules for flagella and cilia

55
Q

Centrioles do not

A

Construct mitotic spindles

56
Q

Centrioles in mitosis

A

Duplicate in the s phase. During M phase centrosome with centriole centers separate and microtubules lengthen and increase in number

57
Q

Late prophase

A

Centrosomes are fully separate. Spindles continue to grow and fill the cytoplasm

58
Q

Asters

A

Centrosomes at the spindles tip. Makes sure each daughter cell gets a centriole

59
Q

When there is no centrosome

A

Microtubules form spindles from many directions with many MTCs.

60
Q

Spindles form from

A

100-1000’s of microtubules

61
Q

2 types of microtubules

A

Kinetochore and nonkinetochore. They work separate but coordinated during anaphase

62
Q

Kinetochore microtubules

A

Connenct chromosomes to spindle poles

63
Q

Non kinetochore microtubules

A

Extend between spindle poles without connecting to a chromosome.

64
Q

Current chromosome division theory

A

Chromosomes walk to the poles on stationary microtubules. Use kinetochore motor proteins. The kinetochore microtubules disassemble as they go

65
Q

Experiment proving 1/2 of division

A

Bleached kinetochore microtubules section did not move during anaphase

66
Q

Other part of the chromosome division theory

A

Motor proteins pull kinetochore microtubules poleward, disassembling them into tubulin sub units

67
Q

Nonkinetochore microtubules

A

Spindles are lengthened and push each other generated by microtubules sliding over each other because of proteins. The cell become a long oval
