Prometaphase

Events of________ include the condensation of chromatin and the dispersal of nucleoli.

Prophase

In ______ the microtubules of the spindle apparatus begin to assemble from individual tubulin subunits. As the identical chromatids of each pair of sister chromatids condense during this stage, they are held together by cohesin proteins.

Prophase

When the chromosomes become visible? This animation illustrates the events of _____.

Prophase

Changes in DNA structure during the cell cycle:

Sister chromatids form when DNA replicates in the S phase. The sister chromatids become individual chromosomes once they separate in early anaphase. Similarly, the cellular DNA content doubles in the S phase when the DNA replicates. However, the cell's DNA content does not return to its normal (undoubled) levels until after cytokinesis is complete and two daughter cells have formed. The condensation state of the DNA is not related to the presence or absence of sister chromatids. The DNA condenses in prophase and remains condensed until after the sister chromatids separate and the new daughter cells begin to form. In late telophase/cytokinesis, the emphasis shifts to cell growth and DNA replication for the next cell cycle. For these processes to occur, the DNA needs to be de-condensed so it is accessible to the cellular machinery involved in transcription.

During _____ the cell grows and replicates both its organelles and its chromosomes.

In dividing cells, most of the cell's growth occurs during ______.

interphase

interphase

Chromosomes become visible during _____.

prophase (The chromatin fibers become discrete chromosomes.)

proteins

As _______ proceeds, the kinetochore microtubules of the spindle disassemble. As the chromosomes reach the poles of the cell, the nuclear envelopes of the two new daughter nuclei form.

Telophase

During_______ both nuclear envelopes and nucleoli re-form.

Telophase

Phases of the cell cycle

The first step in preparing for division is to replicate the cell's DNA in the S phase. In the G2 phase, the centrosome replicates. In early M phase, the centrosomes move away from each other toward the poles of the cell, in the process organizing the formation of the mitotic spindle. At the end of the M phase when mitosis is complete, the cell divides (cytokinesis), forming two genetically identical daughter cells.

How do some inhibitors slow down metabolic pathways when the products of the pathways are not needed but still allow a pathway to proceed when the products are needed?

The inhibitors are the products of the metabolic pathway.
