W1LAB - Genetic aspects of atypical mitosis and meiosis Flashcards
What are the phases of cell cycle?
Interphase: G1, S, G2
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
What are the phases of typical mitosis?
Give the structure of chromosome
Give the number of DNA content and chromosomal number of this haploid cell through each phase
Describe the Structure of mitotic spindle
What are the 7 types of mitosis?
- Typical
- Atypical
- Endomitosis (endoreduplication)
- No cytokinesis
- Multipolar division
- Bridge formation
- Non-disjunction
What are the consequences of typical and atypical types of mitosis?
- Typical -> Genetically identical cells.
- Atypical -> Genetically not identical cells (In multicellular organism causes mosaicism)
What is the description of Endomitosis (Endoreduplication)?
DNA is duplicated, but during M-phase the nuclear envelope remains intact.
1) No separation of chromatids
2) Separation of chromatids
What are the consequences of Endomitosis (Endoreduplication)?
- Giant cell, giant nucleus
- Polythene (giant) chromosomes (if there is No separation of chromatids)
- More chromosomes (polyploid cell) <- if there is Separation of chromatids
What is this?
Polythene (giant) chromosomes
-> consequence of endomitosis
What is this?
giant cell derived by endomitosis
(a consequence of Endomitosis)
What are the consequence and description of mitosis which has no cytokinesis?
- Description: Mitosis is not followed by cytokinesis.
- Consequence: Multinucleated (giant) cells.
What are the consequence and description of mitosis which has Multipolar division?
- Description: Due to atypical duplication and division of centrosome chromosomes are pulled to more than two poles
- Consequence: abnormal chromosome number
in the arising cells.
What is this?
Tripolar metaphase
What is this?
Tripolar metaphase
