Q

what happens in interphase?

A
  • lasts about 10−14 hours
  • Cell makes many preparations for division
    o Replication of the DNA in the nucleus
    o Increase in the cell size (daughter cells require enough cytoplasm and membrane)

Q

disadvantages of interphase

Study These Flashcards
A

specific chromosomes cannot be
distinguished
•DNA is loose, uncoiled
•gene expression

22
Q

What are the 5 stages of mitosis?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Prophase
  2. Prometaphase
  3. Metaphase
  4. Anaphase
  5. Telophase
23
Q

what happens as cells move from G2 to start of mitosis?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • chromosomes condense
  • visible
24
Q

What happens in prophase?

Study These Flashcards
A

•Chromatids visible
•Kinetochores develop (centromeres)
•Centrosomes = mitotic centers or poles; microtubules form between poles
to make spindle

25
what happens in prometaphase?
* Nuclear envelope and nucleoli disappear * Chromosomes gradually pushed to equatorial plate
26
what is Kinetochore?
complex of proteins associated with centromere
27
what are the two types of microtubules?
* Polar microtubules — form spindle; overlap in center * Kinetochore microtubules — attach to kinetochores on chromatids ![]()
28
what happens during metaphase?
•all centromeres have arrived at the equatorial plate.
29
what happens during anaphase?
* sister chromatids separate * move to opposite ends of the spindle (now daughter chromosomes)
30
how does sister chromatids seperate?
* Cohesin is hydrolyzed by separase * Separase inactive before this point (bound to securing, an inhibitory subunit) * When all chromatids connected to spindle * securin is hydrolyzed * separase breaks down the cohesion * spindle checkpoint
31
what happens during telophase?
Telophase: •Spindle breaks down •Chromosomes uncoil •Nuclear envelope and nucleoli are reformed •Two daughter nuclei are formed with identical genetic information
32
how are daughter cells formed?
Daughter cells are formed via cleavage of the cytoplasm following nuclear division.
33
cytokinesis in animal vs plant
![]()
34
what is the function of Phragmoplast?
cell plate partition , partition the cytoplasm and separate the two daughter nuclei of the dividing cell.
35
what are the overall functions of meiosis?
* Reduce chromosome number from diploid to haploid. * Ensure that each product has a full set of chromosomes. * Promote genetic diversity among the products.
36
how is meisois different from mitosis?
In meiosis I * homologous chromosome pairs come together * pair along their entire lengths After metaphase I * homologous pairs segregate * sister chromatids remain together (after Metaphase II)
37
what are the stages of meiosis?
* Meiosis I preceded by an S phase (DNA is replicated) * Each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids (cohesion) * During Prophase I, the homologous chromosomes pair (synapsis) * Joining at telomeres * mediated by recognition of homologous DNA sequences * Synaptonemal complex * protein scaffold * joins the homologous chromosomes.
38
what is crossing over? Also known as chiasmata
39
what meisois phase takes long time?
Prophase 1
40
time duration for human males for prophase 1 and meiotic cycle
1 week for prophase I and 1 month for entire meiotic cycle
41
time duration for human female for prophase 1 and meiotic cycle
prophase I begins before birth and completes up to decades later during the monthly ovarian cycle
42
what happens in prometaphase I ?
•nuclear envelope and nucleoli disappear. •Spindle forms •kinetochores of both chromatids of a chromosome attach to the same half-spindle
43
what happens during metaphase I?
•chromosomes are at the equatorial plate; homologous pairs held together by chiasmata.
44
what happens during anaphase I?
•homologous chromosomes separate •daughter nuclei contain only one set of chromosomes •each chromosome consists of two chromatids.
45
what happens during telophase I?
* Some organisms: * nuclear envelope reaggregates * followed by an interphase called interkinesis * Other organisms: * Meiosis II begins immediately
46
Differences between meiosis II and mitosis
* DNA does not replicate before meiosis II * Meiosis II, the sister chromatids may not be identical (crossing over) * Number of chromosomes at equatorial plate in meiosis II is half number as in mitosis
47
Overview of meiosis II
48
compare mitosis and meiosis diagram
49
Explain cytoplasmic division in females
* Unequal cytoplasmic division in females * Leads to polar bodies (nonfunctional) * 4 products of meiosis * Only one becomes functional gamete (oocyte)
50
Explain cytoplasmic division in males
* Cytoplasmic division is rather equal * All 4 become functional gametes (sperm)
