Q

When and how are chromosomes formed in cell division?

A

During the metaphase stage

chromosomal dna -> nucleosomes -> chromatin -> chromosomes

Q

What regulates the main process of cell division in eukaryotic cells?

A

Proteins

  • Maturation-promoting factor (MPF)
43
Q

Maturation-promoting factor (MPF)

A

Protein, combination of CDK (cyclin-dependent kinase) and cyclin to promote DNA synthesis and mitosis

44
Q

Types of Cyclin:

A

S-cyclin: promotes S-phase

M-cyclin: promotes M-Phase

  • Depending on the level of cyclin concentration, it binds to CDK

-

45
Q

What can cyclin do?:

A
  • Cyclin binding to CDC-2 stimulates autophosphorylation of CDK (kinase) and phosphorylation of other proteins involved in cell division
  • Some of those proteins are proteases that can degrate cyclin to bring the levels down to regulate the cycle
46
Q

DNA synthesis or mitosis occurs depending on the p…

A

phosphorylation status of S-MPF, M-MPF

47
Q

Meiosis (where and why):

A

In sex cells to generate reproductive cells called gametes with 1/2 number of chromosomes that are different but from both parents

48
Q

Sexual reproduction:

A
  • meiosis known as reduction division needed for sexual reproduction
  • individual gametes from two parents combine to form a new zygote cell to develop a new organism

What happens to chromosome # ___ during meiosis?

A

Chromosome 46 in the diploid cell is halved into 23 chromosomes in the gametes

59
Q

Meiosis 1 Overview:

A

Diploid cell (2N) -> Interphase 1 (DNA replication) -> Prophase 1 -> Metaphase 1 -> Anaphase 1 -> Telophase 1 -> Cytokinesis 1 -> 2 daughter cells (recomnined hologs separated but sister chromatids still attached)

60
Q

Meiosis 2 Overview:

A

Interpase 2 (No DNA replication) -> Prophase 2 -> Metaphase 2 -> Anaphase 2 -> Telophase 2 -> Cytokinesis 2 -> 4 haploid (1N) daughter cells (sister chromatids separated)

61
Q

Meiosis 1 what happens?

A

The chromosomes replicate and homologous chromosomes cross over to exchange genetic material, and the homologs separate

62
Q

Meiosis Interphase 1:

A

Chromosomes replicate into two identical sister chromatids attached at the centromere.

Centrioles and other organelles also duplicate

63
Q

Meiosis Prophase 1:

A
  • Most important stage of meiosis
  • Longest phase
  • condensed chromosome is attached to the nuclear envelope
  • the homologous chromosomes align themselves and come together to from bivalents or tetrads (four chromatids)
  • synapsis happens
  • sister chromatids are still attached
  • later, the nuclear membrane disappears, centrioles move apart, and spindle fibers form
64
Q

Synapsis (meiosis prophase 1)

A

the homologous chromosomes align themselvs and come togehter to form four chromatids

and each gene is brought closer to its counterpart (allele) in the other chromatids

sections of homologous chromosomes are exchanged (DNA from one homolog is cut and joined with another homolog after getting an equivalent portion)

65
Q

What is “crossing over”? (meiosis prophase 1)

A

the overlapping of homologous chromosmes duing meiosis prophase 1

66
Q

What is “recombination”? (meiosis prophase 1)

A

DNA exchange during meiosis prophase 1

The x-shaped regions of crossing over are called CHIASMATA

Chiasmata causes genetic exchange between the maternal and paternal chromosomes

67
Q

Meiosis Metaphase 1:

A

Bivalent chromosomes (tetrads) align themselves along the middle of the cell along with the metaphase plate

During this alignment there is a random assortment of homologous chromosomes that contribute to gentic variation.

68
Q

Meiosis Anaphase 1:

A

Individual pairs of sister chromatids separate from each other and go to opposite poles while the sister chromatids are still attached to each other.

69
Q

Meiosis Telophase and Cytokinesis 1:

A

Chromatids move to opposite poles, nuclear envelope may form, and the cleavage furrow deepens or cell plate forms to divide the cells.

70
Q

Meiosis Interphase 2:

A

Interphase or interkinesis can be seen, but no DNA is replicated

71
Q

Meiosis 2:

A

Sister chromatids separate

72
Q

Meiosis Prophase 2:

A

If ther is an nucleous or nucleolus present they disappear and spindle fibers appear

73
Q

Meiosis Metaphase 2:

A

Sister chromatids align onthe metaphase plate, there are kinetochore fibers pointing to opposite poles attached at the centromere

74
Q

Meiosis Anaphase 2:

A

Centromeres on sister chromatids separate and individual chromosomes (1N) move towards opposite ends.

75
Q

Meiosis Telophase 2 and Cytokinesis 2:

A

Nuclei begin to form around chromosomes

Cleavage furrow or cell plate separates the new daughter cells.

76
