Part 15 Mitosis

        Help!  

Question
Answer
how do prokaryotic cells divide?   asexually  
🗑
binary fission   the cell divides into 2 cell  
🗑
why is cell division in eukaryotes more complext than in prokaryotes?   because eukaryotic contain more DNA; eurkaryotic DNA is packaged differently.  
🗑
can eurkaryotes divide asexually?   yes.  
🗑
name the phases of interphase   G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase.  
🗑
G1 phase   primary growth phase  
🗑
S phase   DNA replication  
🗑
G2 phase   microtubule synthesis  
🗑
M phase (Mitosis)   chromosomes pull apart  
🗑
C phase (Cytokinesis)   cytoplasm divides  
🗑
diploid cells   have homologous chromosomes (aka homologs)  
🗑
homologous chromosomes (homologs)   2 similar chromosomes  
🗑
have many chromosomes does human have? how many homologs?   46 chromosomes and 23 pairs of homologs  
🗑
histones   positively charged proteins that DNA wraps around  
🗑
what do nucleosome (bead) consist of?   200 nucleotides of DNA and histones  
🗑
chromatin   coiled DNA  
🗑
name an emergent property of DNA   the strands of the double helix are complementary (A-T, C-G) so an exact copy of DNA can be made  
🗑
mitosis mades identical (blank) 2n cells   diploid  
🗑
meiosis makes (blank) 1n gametes   haploid  
🗑
mitosis occurs where?   in somatic (non reproductive) cell  
🗑
where do meiosis occur?   in germ (reproductive) cells; results in the production of gametes  
🗑
what is mitosis reproduction use for?   developmet; growth and cell replacement; asexual reproduction  
🗑
What are the phases in M phase?   prophase; metaphase; anaphase; telophase  
🗑
C phase (cytokenesis)   cytoplasm divides  
🗑
cleavage furrow   pinches the cell in two  
🗑
cell plate   divide the cell  
🗑
how many cell division can human cells undergo?   about 50  
🗑
which cells can divide endlessly?   cancer cells and stem cells  
🗑
G1 checkpoint   cell growth is assessed  
🗑
G2 checkpoint   DNA replication is assessed  
🗑
M checkpoint   mitosis is assessed  
🗑
G0   extended rest period  
🗑
name the 2 classes of growth-regulating genes   proto-oncogenes and tumor-supressor genes  
🗑
proto-oncogenes   encode proteins that simulate cell division  
🗑
tumor-suppressor genes   encode proteins that inhibit cell division  
🗑
p53 protein   monitors the integrity of DNA; if DNA is damaged, the protein halts cell division and simulates repair enzymes; tells cells to destroy themselves if damaged beyond repair.  
🗑
What if p53 is mutated?   cancerous cells repeatedly divide, no stopping at the G1 checkpoint  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
