AP BIO 12

QuestionAnswer
Mitosis Cell division
Genome Part of cell with DNA
Why are there sets of each chromosome? Because one chromosome has mom’s DNA and the other has dad’s
Alleles Different forms of genes
Homologous chromosomes Set of chromosomes that code the same genes
Mitotic phase stages Prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telephase
Interphase stages G1 phase, S phase, S2 phase
How do chromosomes move to opposite sides of cells? The microtubule connected to kinetochore and motor proteins within it walk along the tube
Centrosomes Microtubules and centrioles
G1 phase One centriole, 46 chromosomes
S phase DNA replicates, 92 chromosome
G2 phase Centriole replicates
Prophase Sister chromatids condense, microtubules appear from centrioles, nucleus begins to break down
Prometaphase Nuclear envelope disappears, microtubules grab each chromatid pulling it to the cell’s equator
Metaphase Sister chromosomes along the equator, under tension because of the microtubules
Anaphase Chromosomes are pulled to different sides of cell via motor proteins in their kinetochore
Telophase 46 chromosomes and one centriole on different poles of the cell, nuclear envelope begins to reform
How is cell division used in weight gain When people gain more energy from more food more fat cells are needed to hold it, fat cells can only grow so much before they send a signals to grow more
MPF (Maturation Promoting Factor or M-Phase Promoting Factor) This is the historic name for the specific cyclin-CDK complex that triggers the cell's entry into mitosis (M phase).
Cytokinesis by physically dividing the parent cell's cytoplasm after the nucleus has already been duplicated and separated during mitosis
Mitotic spindle fibers protein structures made of microtubules that pull chromosomes apart during cell division (mitosis) to ensure each new daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes
How is cyclin related to this In response to extracellular signals, cyclins are produced to bind with CDKs
How are CDKs and cyclin related CDKs are always present in the cell, but they are inactive unless they are bound to a special partner protein called a cyclin
Cyclins A regulatory protein that controls the activity of CDKs. Its concentration in the cell rises and falls predictably throughout the cell cycle.
MPF = CDK+cyclin
What do CDKs do They phosphorylate (add phosphate groups to) specific proteins, which triggers various events that drive cell division.
Peaks and falls of cyclin: G₁ Cyclins: Peak in G₁, then fall. S Cyclins: Rise in late G₁, peak in S, then fall. M Cyclins (Cyclin B): Rise through S and G₂, peak in metaphase, and then drop precipitously due to APC/C in anaphase.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
