chapter 10 Flashcards
(58 cards)
division of a nuclear material
mitosis
no mitosis because no nucleus
prokaryotes
bacteria divide by
binary fusion (no sex)
5 phases of mitosis
prophase prometaphase metaphase anaphase telephase
individual condensed chromosomes first become visual with light.
-nucleous envelope
prophase
transition occurs after dissembly of nuclear envelope
-basically tug-r-war until chromosomes are lined up
prometaphase
centromeres line in middle.
kintochore are attached
metaphase
sister chromtids separate and go to the polar
-cohesion goes away
anaphase
spindle apparatus dissembly nucleus began to reform
telephase
structure contracts to pinch cell in 2
septation
what protein is in most prokaryotes
FTSZ
membrane disintergrates in what cells
animal
every species have diff. number of chromosomes
eukaryotic chromosomes
humans have __ pairs of chromosomes
23
additional or missing chromosomes in eukaryotic cells are usually
fatal
what is composed of chromatin?
chromosomes
chromatin in composed of?
DNA, proteins, some RNA
DNA of a single chromosome is what?
one long continuous double-stranded fiber
more compact, genes turned off, very little transcription
heterochromatin
gens on, less compact, more transcription
euchromatin
nucleosome
-DNA coiled around 8 histone proteins every 200 nucleotides
1st level of DNA compaction
solenoid
-nucleosomes wrapped into higher order coils
2nd level of DNA compaction
scaffold
-during mitosis, chromatin in solenoid arranged around scaffold of protein to achieve maximum compaction
3rd level of DNA compaction
2 complete sets of chromosomes
-46 total chromosomes
diploid(2n) or somatic cells
