Q

What problems to material transport does a large cell pose?

A

A too large cell has too much space to be efficient. Any molecules take a while to move from point a to point b

two are called sister chromatids

18
Q

What are the 4 phases of mitosis

A

prohpase (longest)
metaphase
anaphase
telophase

19
Q

How long does mitosis take?

A

between a few minutes and a few days

20
Q

Prophase

A

The first phase of mitosis taking 50-60 % of time
- chromosomes condense
- centrioles move apart off of centrosome
- nuclear envelope dissolves

21
Q

How are spindles formed and what happens to them after they are formed?

A

The spindles are structures made up of both centrioles and microtubules:
as the centrioles move off of the centrosome in the Prophase, the spindles are formed
After the chromosomes have been split the spindles dissolve into the cell.

22
Q

centrosome

A

an area in the cell where centrioles usually rest

23
Q

metaphase

A

2nd phase
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell at the equator/metaphase plate because spindles play “tug of war” with each sister chromatid

24
Q

equator vs. metaphase plate

A

TRICK QUESTION!!
they are the same thing, they are the theoretical line where chromosomes line up during the metaphase

25
Anaphase
3rd phase The chromosomes split at the centromeres because the spindles holding onto each of them shrink to be shorter
26
Telophase
4th phase Sister chromosomes disperse into a tangle of DNA on their sides and new nuclear envelope forms
27
cytokinesis
Division of cytoplasm - cell membrane pinches in
28
How do animal and plant cells differ in the way they split
animal cell membranes pinch together plant cells build a sort of NEW membrane (because plant cells are rectangular)
29
G1 phase
The cells FIRST stage, growth stage where cell synthesis's proteins and organells and nearly doubles in size
30
G0 phase
A state a cell goes into WHEN THEY CAN'T DIVIDE - continuous growth, or at least no loss in size
31
S phase
2nd phase in cell cycle, (Synthesis Stage) DNA IS SYNTHEZISED OR COPIED
32
G2 phase
3rd phase (2nd growth phase) Coiling of genetic material Replication of Centrioles Microtubules arranged FINAL CHECK (nucleus is prepared)
33
When cells come in contact with other cells, do they grow?
NO! cells will usually grow more to fill spaces (heal cuts) If cells dont have growth restrictions- CANCER
34
Cancer
A body's cells' loss of ability to control growth
35
What are some causes of cancer?
Deletion- deleting a gene Dupliaction- multiple of the same gene Inversion- reversing orientation or order of genes Translocation- moving part of one gene onto another
36
Regulators of the cell cycle
Different internal or external regulators that makes sure a cell is ready and has the space to split
37
What are the 3 checkpoints of the cell cycle
G1 checkpoint G2 checkpoint Mitosis checkpoint
38
G1 checkpoint
Decides if cell can divide- if cell is big enough/has enough room - IF NOT- cell grows more - IF STILL NOT- cell remains in G0 phase
39
G2 checkpoint
Decides if cell can still divide- checks if DNA is properly replicated - IF NOT - more time to fix - IF STILL NOT- cell death
40
Mitosis checkpoint
Triggers the cell to stop mitosis and move onto cytokinesis - CHECKS IF CHROMOSOMES ARE ATTACHED TO SPINDLES
41
Regulator EX.
Cyclin, a protein that makes sure there is space for cell division and helps to control timing of cell division
42
Internal Regulators
Proteins that respond to internal cell events - such as those found at the checkpoints - cause cells to stop or proceed
43
External Regulators
Proteins responding to external events (growth factors) - such as checking if there is space - cause cells to speed up or slow down
