16
Q

why do microtubules grow & shrink during cell divison

A

kinetochore MTs shrink to pull chromosomes apart

nonkinetochore MTs grow to push the cell apart

17
Q

late interphase cell

A

2n =4

centrosomes together

replicated dna

18
Q

prophase

A

chromosomes condense - metaphase

nuclear envelope degrades

centrosomes migrate to opposite poles of the cell

mitotic spindle forms & MTs

19
Q

mitotic spindle

A

centrosomes + microtubules that grow from it

20
Q

kinetochore MTs

A

attach to kinetochores of each chromosome

21
Q

nonkinetochore MTs

A

do not attach to the kinetochores

22
Q

metaphase

A

chromosomes line up on metaphase plate

4 chromosomes - each composed of 2 sister chromatids = total of 8 sister chromatids

23
Q

metaphase plate

A

hypothetical plate on halfway point between centrosomes

24
Q

anaphase

A

separation of dna

cohesions degrade

kinetochore MTs get shorter

sister chromatids separate

nonkinetochore MTs lengthen –> cell elongates

motor proteins push against each other to elongate cell

8 chromosomes
0 sister chromatids

25
Q

telophase / cytokinesis

A

chromosomes decondense

nuclear envelope reforms

centrosomes & spindles disappear

microfilaments pinch cleavage furrow into the cell splits

2 2n=4 cells

26
Q

binary fission

A

copy dna

separate dna

27
Q

binary fission process

A

1 chromosome + 1 replication bubble

replicates into 2 chromosomes

contractile ring gets tighter until cell splits

2 cells
