Chapter 3 - Chromosomes transmission Flashcards
(49 cards)
What are chromosomes composed of?
- DNA
2. protein
What is chromatin?
It is DNA - protein complex
Does prokaryotic cells have nuculus?
No, it doesn’t
Does prokaryotic cell have membrane bounded organelles?
No, it doesn’t
Does prokaryotic cells have cytoblasm?
Yes, its cytoplasm enclosed by membrane.
Does prokaryotic cell have rigid wall?
Yes, it has rigid wall outside the membranes
What are the two types of animal cells?
- somatic cells
2. gametes cells
What is the cytogenetic?
It is the field that involves microscopic examination of chromosomes.
What are the differences between chromosomes in homologous pair?
- They are identical in size.
2. Have the same banding pattern and centromere location.
What are the characteristic of sex chromosomes?
- They are not homologous.
- They differ in size and genetic composition.
- They have short region of homology.
What are the two purposes in cell division?
- asexual reproduction
2. achieving multicellularity.
How does the prokaryotic cell reproduce?
They reproduce asexually by binary fission.
How many cells does the binary fission produce?
They produce two daughter cell by process of binary fission.
What is the function of FTsZ protein?
It recruits other proteins to create new cell wall that separate the two mother cells into two daughter cells.
What phases are included in interphase?
- G1 phase
- S phase
- G2 phase.
What happens during G1 phase?
A cell prepare to divide.
What happens during S phase?
Chromosomes are replicated
What happens during G2 phase?
The cell accumulate the material that are necessary for nuclear and cell division.
What happens during M phase?
Cell goes through mitosis.
What is a dyad?
It is a pair of sister chromatid.
What is monad?
It is one chromatid.
What is the purpose of mitosis?
The primary purpose of mitosis is to distribute the the replicated chromosomes to the two daughter cells.
What are the five phases of mitosis?
- prophase
- prometaphase
- metaphase
- anaphase
- telophase.
What is the centrosome?
It is the attachment point of the mitotic spindle.
