9244924774centromereArea where the chromatids of a chromosome are attached0
9244924775how many dna molecules per chromosome?two DNA molecules per chromosome1
9244924776homologous chromosomeChromosome pairs of the same length, centromere position, and staining pattern that possess genes for the same characters at corresponding loci. One homologous chromosome is inherited from the organism's father, the other from the mother.2
9244924777Humans have: _____ chromosomes _____ homologous pairs _____ chromatids46 23 923
9244924778interphase: what important thing is going on? is cell dividing?Cell grows but ISNT DIVIDING, performs its normal functions, and prepares for division; consists of G1, S, and G2 phases4
9244924779Centrosomes(MTOC):What are they and are they found in plants? they contain a pair of _______ in animal cells.An organelle near the nucleus of a cell that contains a pair of centrioles (in animal cells) and form the spindle fibers which develop in cell division. not in plants.5
92449247804 phases of mitosisprophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase (PMAT)6
9244924781Prophase 3 activitiesNucleoli dissapear and chromatin condenses nuclear envelope breaks down miotic spindle assembled. (from centrosomes "MTOC")7
9244924782Where do the microtubules connect to chromosome?special part of centromere called the kinetocore (protein complex)8
9244924783metaphaseChromosomes align themselves along the center of the cells.9
9244924784anaphase3rd phase; the chromatids of each chromosome separate at the centromere and move in opposite directions.10
9244924785how many chromosomes are left after anaphase?The number doubles(but same @ each pole and consequently @ each daughter cell) because the chromatids are actually considered chromosomes when they are pulled apart. Easiest was to determine number of chromosomes is the count the number of centromeres.11
9244924786how do animals go through cytokinesis?Microfilaments form a ring between two forming nuclei. Microfilaments shorten and pull the plasma membrane into the center - dividing the cell. Called a cleavage furrow.12
9244924787cytokenesisDivides cytoplasm to form 2 daughter cells. differs in plants and animals In an animal cell the cleavage furrow appears from the pinching off of cell membrane13
9244924788How to plants go through cytokinesis?Vesicles from Golgi bodies fuse to form a cell plate - plasma membranes for two daughter ells. Cell walls develop14
9244924789Interphase is divided into 3 stages what are they? what happens at each?G1, S, G2. G1- growth, S - duplication of DNA(synthesis) - G2 -growth15
9244924790meiosis(genetics) cell division that produces reproductive cells in sexually reproducing organisms16
9244924791Prophase I: name of homologous chromosome pair?chromosomes are condensed, the homologous chromosomes pair and make tetrads or bivalents17
9244924792syapsis: what are chismata?the process where homologous chromosomes pair in prophase I nonsister chromatids form chiasmata - crossovers.18
9244924793chiasmataPoints where chromatids cross-over. (where crossing over occurs).19
9244924794synaptonemal complexStructure consisting of the homologues paired closely along a lattice of proteins between them20
9244924795Metaphase Ihomologous pairs spread on metaphase plate21
9244924796Anaphase Ihomologues uncouple.22
9244924797telophase 1: how many chromosomes at each pole same number or half as many?chromosomes reach poles - nuclear membrane develops around them. Each pole has half the number of chromosomes. Each chromosomes has two chromatids.23
9244924798Prophase 2: Does crossing over occur here?nuclear envelope disappears. NO CROSSING OVER24
9244924799metaphase 2: # of chromosomes compared to mitosis?chromosomes align on metaphase plate NOT TETRADS. Exactly like mitosis but only half the number of chromosomes25
9244924800anaphase 2chromosome pulled apart into two chromatids26
9244924801telophase 2: how many haploid cells result?nuclear envelope reappears. Four haploid cells - result.27
9244924802Mitosis ends with:what kind(haploid or diploid) and how many daughter cells?two diploid daughter cells28
9244924803somatic cellsnon sex cells, where mitosis occurs29
9244924804what does meiosis produce in plants?spores30
9244924805gametophyteIn organisms (plants and some algae) that have alternation of generations, the multicellular haploid form that PRODUCES HAPLOID GAMETES BY MITOSIS. The haploid gametes unite and develop into sporophytes.31
9244924806SporophyteIn organisms (plants and some algae) that have alternation of generations, the multicellular diploid form that results from the union of gametes. The sporophyte produces haploid spores by meiosis that develop into gametophytes.32
9244924807alternation of generationsthe alternation between the haploid gametophyte and the diploid sporophyte in a plant's life cycle33
9244924808# events that lead to genetic variation1. Crossing over 2. Independent assortment 3. Random joining of games34
9244924809independent assortmentDifferent ways the chromosomes could line up in meiosis- depending on which side they line up on, they will be pulled in a different direction35
9244924810Two type of regulations of the cell cycle: what ratios are important?1. surface-to-volume ratio 2. genome to volume ratio36
9244924811surface-to-volume ratioVolume increases greater than surface area when cell grows (4/3πr³ vs. 4πr²). Large S/V better for exchange. Cell growth stops when surface is small compared to volume37
9244924812Genome-to-volume ratioGenome size remains constant no matter the size of the cell. If G/V gets bigger, it exceed genome ability to produce sufficient amount of material to regulate activities. Note: why large cells such as human skeletal muscle are multinucleated.38
9244924813G1 checkpointthe cell does no go through cell cycle if the conditions are not perfect. -> never goes to S or G2 phase. stays in a so called G0 phase.39
9244924814G2 checkpointevaluates accuracy of DNA replication. Checks for mitosis promoting factor (MPF) levels to proceed)40
9244924815M checkpointhappens during metaphase - makes sure microtubules are attached to kinetochores. Triggers state of G141
9244924816CDK's what activates it?cyclin-dependent kinases. Activate proteins that regulate cell cycle through phosphorylation. CDK's are activated by the protein cyclin. Cyclin presences differs between phases.42
9244924817Growth factorsstimulates a cell to divide by attaching onto receptors on cell membrane43
9244924818density dependent inhibitioncells stop diving when surrounding cell density reaches a maximum44
9244924819anchorage dependancemost cells must attach to external surface before dividing.45
9244924820canceruncontrolled cell growth or division, proliferate(grow) with no regard to checkpoints. it's a disease of the cell cycle.46
9244924821MTOCs migrate to opposite poles inprophase47
9244924822when does cytokenesis begin?it actually begins at the end of anaphase.48

9244924838Name the 5 steps inprophase 1.1. leptotene: chromosomes start to condense 2. Zygotene: synapsis begin; synaptonemal complex start to form. 3. Pachytene: synpasis complete, crossing over 4. diplotene: synaptonemal complex dissolves, chiasma still present 5, diakinesis: (nuclear envelope fragments, chromosome complete condensing, tetrads ready for metaphase)64
9244924839Fusion of two haploid gamete = ________ = __________Fertilization; diploid zygote65
9244924840Explain meosis and mitosis in plants.1. In plants, meiosis in sporangia produces spores (haploid). 2. Spore undergo mitosis to become multicelluar gametophyte (haploid) 3.
