25
Anaphase
sister chromatids separate
26
M-Cdks function
activate APC/C and Cdc20
27
What does APC/C ad Cdc20 do?

28
What does separase do?
cleaves the cohesion proteins that held the sister chromatids together
29
Telophase
daughter chromosomes arrive at the spindle poles and a new nuclear envelope assembles
30
what does RhoA do when activated?
Promotes nucleation of parallel bundles of actin filaments Promotes myosin II assembly Gives rise to the contractile ring
31
What drives separation of the cell
Actin and myosin of the contractile ring
32
What is the midbody
The interpolar microtubules that are left at the end of cytokinesis, tethering the two new daughter cells together
33
Asymmetric division
When the cell does not divide down the middle
34
Why does asymmetric cell division occur
when daughter cells are destined to develop along different cell fates So certain components must be segregated
35
What does meiosis result in
4 haploid daughter cells
36
What happens in meiotic S phase
DNA is replicated
37
Meiosis I
Homolog chromosomes pair up and form bivalents Undergo DNA recombination/crossover
38
What are bivalents
When the homolog chromosomes are paired up
39
What does crossover result in
a tight bond between the homologs so they are properly segregated during meiosis I and allows for genetic diversity
40
Where does crossover occur
at DNA hotspots where the DNA is accessible
41
When are homologs separated in Meiosis I
anaphase I
42
What are the 5 phases of Meiotic Prophase
1.Leptotene 2. Zygotene 3. Pachytene 4. Dipolene 5. Diakinesis
43
What happens during leptotene
homologs condense and pair
44
What happens during Zygotene
Synaptonemal complex begins to assemble
45
What happens during Pachytene
assembly process is complete
46
What happens during diplotene
Disassembly of the synaptonemal complex
47
What happens during Diakinesis
Chromosomes fully condense and prophase is complete
48
Meiosis II
The sister chromatids are separated during anaphase II Formation of 4 haploid daughter cells
49
What are the 3 fundamental differences between mitosis and meiosis
1. Both sister kinetochores in a homolog must attach to the same spindle pole in meiosis I 2. Crossover creates a strong physical link between homologs, and allows them to orient at the spindle equator 3.Cohesion is removed from the arms and NOT from the centromere during anaphase I
50

Extracellular signal that stimulates cells division
51
Growth factors
Extracellular signal that stimulate cell growth
52

82
