| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How many chromosomes do somatic cells have? | 46 |
| What are the checkpoints? | G1,G2, M |
| Cytokinesis | division of the cytoplasm |
| Chromatid | is one copy of a chromosome |
| Mitosis | process of the formation of the two identical daughter nuclei |
| What happens in mitosis? | condensing of chromosomes, formation of spindle, uncoupling sister chromatids at centromere, disappearance of nucleolus |
| How does the MPF protein complex turn itself off? | by activating an enzyme that destroys cyclin |
| Crossing over is exchanging chromosomal segments between what? | nonsister chromatids of homologous chromosomes |
| During what phases of mitosis are there chromosomes composed of two chromatids? | from G2 of interphase through metaphase |
| Nerve and muscle cells are in this phase | G0 |
| The shortest part of the cell cycle | M |
| DNA is replicated at this time of the cell cycle | S |
| APC does what? | triggers the separation of chromatids during mitosis |
| Density-dependent inhibition | as cells become more numerous, the amount of required growth factors and nutrients per cell becomes insufficient to allow for cell growth |
| Crossing over occurs in what phase of meiosis? | prophase I |
| Anchorage dependent | to divide must be anchored to a substratum |
| Diploid cell | Any cell with two sets of chromosomes (2n) |
| When do cyclin levels rise sharply? | Throughout interphase |
| genome | complete complement of an organism's genes |
| What does the MPF or maturation- promoting factor do ? | it triggers the cell's passage past the g2 checkpoint to the M phase |
