Q

What happens during G2 phase

A

cell increases in size
cell makes proteins that help cell division- eg tubulin

Q

What happens during Anaphase

A

Sister chromatids separate, pulled towards opposite poles
Kinetochore shortens Interpolar grow and push spindle poles further apart
Astrals pull spindle polls to attach to cell cortex

Q

What happens during Telophase

A

Chromosomes arrive at opposite poles and decondense
Nuclear envelope reforms
Division begins with contractile ring formation

16
Q

What happens during Cytokinesis

A

Myosin forms contractile ring with actin
Cytoplasm divided by ring
Cell organelles are divided

17
Q

Cyclin dependent kinase (CDKs) - what does this mean?

A

Means cyclin needs to be bound for activity

18
Q

What CDK complexes are found in G1 phase

A

Cyclin D with CDK 4/6

19
Q

What CDK complexes are found in G1/s

A

Cyclin E with CDK 2

20
Q

What CDK complexes are found in S phase

A

Cyclin A with CDK 2

21
Q

What CDK complexes are found in Mitosis

A

Cyclin B with CDK 1

22
Q

What phosphorylates retinoblastoma

A

Cyclin D/ CDK4,6

23
Q

Why does retinoblastoma need to be phosphorylated

A

To release brake of G1 to S phase
Means Rb unbinds E2F transcription factors, therefore genes can be transcribed for S phase
