centrosome

A structure in animal cells containing centrioles from which the spindle fibers develop.

kinetocore

A structure of proteins attached to the centromere that links each sister chromatid to the mitotic spindle.

Since histones are only needed during S stage, one would expect to see high amounts made then, and no synthesis at all during G1 and G2.

After DNA is duplicated in eukaryotes, it must be bound to histones. This requires the synthesis of hundreds of millions of new protein molecules. With reference to fig.9.1, when in the cell cycle would histones be made?

What is the difference between cytokinesis in plant and animal cells? ... Animal cells divide by a cleavage furrow. Plant cells divide by a cell plate that eventually becomes the cell wall. Cytoplasm and cell membranes are necessary for cytokinesis in both plants and animals.

Contrast cytokineses in animal cells and plant cells.

Internal Checkpoints During the Cell Cycle: The cell cycle is controlled at three checkpoints. The integrity of the DNA is assessed at the G1 checkpoint. Proper chromosome duplication is assessed at the G2 checkpoint. Attachment of each kinetochore to a spindle fiber is assessed at the M checkpoint.

Describe 3 checkpoints of the cell cycle.

The cell cycle is a 4-stage process consisting of Gap 1 (G1), Synthesis, Gap 2 (G2) and mitosis. An active eukaryotic cell will undergo these steps as it grows and divides. After completing the cycle, the cell either starts the process again from G1 or exits the cycle through G0.

Describe cell cycle, including its different stages.

all but anaphase and telophase

During which mitotic phases are duplicated chromosomes present?

In Cytokinesis, the contractile ring in animal cells contracts and pinches the cell into 2 daughter cells. In plants, the phragmoplast extends and forms the cell wall. In plants, mitosis occurs only in the meristem tissues. They are located at the tips of roots, shoots, and in the stem, between the xylem and phloem.

How does plant cell mitosis differ from animal cell mitosis?

14 because the chromatids separate

If a parent cell has 14 chromosomes prior to mitosis, how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have?

prometaphase

In which phase of mitosis are the kinetochores of the chromosomes being attached to spindle fibers?

spindle

Microtubule structure that brings about chromosome movement during nuclear invasion.

apoptosis occurs frequently during the cell cycle

Not true for cell cycle

metaphase plate

therapeutic cloning

The cloning of human cells by nuclear transplantation for therapeutic purposes, such as the generation of embryonic stem cells to treat disease.

is the 2n number is in a parent cell and therefore in the 2 daughter cells following mitosis varies according to the particular organism is in every somatic cell

The diploid number of chromosomes

prometaphase

The second stage of mitosis, in which the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the chromosomes.

metastasis

The spread of cancer cells beyond their original site

The radiation caused mutations to occur that can lead to cancer. The number of mutations required varies according to the type of cancer. Cancers that occurred earlier required fewer mutations than those that occurred later.

The survivors of the atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima/Nagasaki have been the subjects of long-term studies of the effects of ionizing radiation on cancer incidence. The frequencies of different types of cancer in these individuals varied across the decades. In the 1950s, high levels of leukemia and cancers of the lung and thyroid gland were observed. The 1960s and 19702 brought high levels of breast and salivary gland cancers. In the 1980s, rates of colon cancer were especially high. Why do you suppose the rates of different types of cancer varied across time?

Characteristics of cancer cells

These cells often undergo angiogenesis tend to be nonspecialized often have abnormal nuclei can metastasize

p53

This tumor suppressor gene causes cell cycle arrest in G1, providing time for DNA repair. If repair is successful, cells re-enter the cycle. If unsuccessful, apoptosis

reproductive cloning

Using a somatic cell from a multicellular organism to make one or more genetically identical individuals.

Cancer cells undergo apoptosis

What's not a characteristic of cancer cells?

telophase---a resting phase between cell division cycles

What's paired correctly?

control of the cell cycle is impaired

When cancer occurs...

proto-oncogene

a gene that regulates normal cell division but that can become a cancer-causing oncogene as a result of mutation or recombination

somatic cell

any cell of a living organism other than the reproductive cells.

cancer

any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division

S stage

at the end of this stage, each chromosome consist of 2 attached chromatids.

oncogene

cancer causing gene

centrosome

central microtubule organizing center of cells, consisting of granular material. In animal cells, it contains 2 centrioles. found at spindle pole in the center of an aster

chromosome

coiled and condensed chromatin

An important difference between oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes is that oncogenes result from the activation (turning on) of proto-oncogenes, but tumor suppressor genes cause cancer when they are inactivated (turned off).Jun 25, 2014

compare/contrast the functions of proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in controlling the cell cycle.

Cell division is simpler in prokaryotes than eukaryotes because prokaryotic cells themselves are simpler. Prokaryotic cells have a single circular chromosome, no nucleus, and few other cell structures. Eukaryotic cells, in contrast, have multiple chromosomes contained within a nucleus, and many other organelles.Nov 15, 2019

contrast the function of cell division in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Mitosis consists of four basic phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. ... These phases occur in strict sequential order, and cytokinesis - the process of dividing the cell contents to make two new cells - starts in anaphase or telophase.

describe the events that occur during the phases of mitosis.

During interphase, the cell copies its DNA in preparation for mitosis. Interphase is the 'daily living' or metabolic phase of the cell, in which the cell obtains nutrients and metabolizes them, grows, reads its DNA, and conducts other "normal" cell functions. This phase was formerly called the resting phase.

describe the preparations for mitosis.

The usual method of prokaryote cell division is termed binary fission. The prokaryotic chromosome is a single DNA molecule that first replicates, then attaches each copy to a different part of the cell membrane. When the cell begins to pull apart, the replicate and original chromosomes are separated.

describe the prokaryotic chromosome and the process of binary fission.

Chromatin is the DNA and proteins that make up a chromosome. ... Histone- they help condense chromatin and DNA into Chromatin. Centromere- they link sister chromatids together. Kinetochore- they attach to opposite poles of the mitotic spindle.

distinguish between chromosome, chromatin, chromatid, centriole, cytokinesis, centromere, and kineticore.
