Difference between the Genetic Material of Prokaryotic Cell and Eukaryotic Cell
Prokaryotic cell - genetic material is enclosed in a nuclear zone (nucleoid) and it is freely suspended in the cytoplasm
Eukaryotic - a true nucleus, also has intracellular membranes and membrane-bound nucleus
-
The genetic material of Eukaryotic Cell is housed within the nucleus separated from _____ by _____
cytoplasm and nuclear membrane
When is Chromatin only present
during the interphase
Where is chromatin found
nucleus
It is the compact form of chromatin
-physically visible
Chromosome
site for producing and assembling cell’s ribosomes, conspicuous domain in nucleus
Nucleolus
a series of vents for the cell to grow and divide
Cell Cyle
two parts of Cell Cycle
Interphase and M Phase
Two types of M Phase
Mitosis and Meiosis
non-dividing stage of the cell cycle
Interphase
The longest phase of the typical cell cycle
S phase
What happens during the G1 Phase in Interphase
-Cell increases volume by absorbing water and nutrients
-Builds new protoplasm and cytoplasmic organelles
What happens during the S Phase
DNA is replicated
What phase is when the DNA gets replicated
S phase
also known as the synthesis stage in Interphase
S phase
what happens during the G2 phase
synthesizes RNA and proteins for chromosome and spindle assembly.
What is now the 3 scenarios by the end of G2
-Cell is ready to divide
-Genetic Material is Duplicated
-Double Chromatin Fiber is folded to become a Chromsome
the chromosome is composed of chain of _________
nucleosomes
what are the 2 components of the CHROSOME
Nucleosome core + DNA
Why is nucleosome core an octameric core
-because it has 8 protein complex (H2A, H2B, H3, H4)
what are the four protein complexes in an octameric core
H2A, H2B, H3, H4
Folded Chromatin Fiber
Chromosomes
Describe the processes of Chromosome Folding (Aralin)
Human Chromosome Count
2n = 46
