Term
meiosis
Definition
-process used to develop gametes
-meiotic S phase followed by 2 rounds of chromosome segregation (I and II)
-homologs pair up in meiosis via homologous recombination (crossing over)
Term
meiosis I
Definition
-separates homologs
Term
meiosis II
Definition
segregates sister chromatids
Term
haploid cells are produced by
Definition
-1 DNA replication
-2 cell divisions
Term
meiosis produces
Definition
-4 cells that are genetically different and contain half as many chromosomes as original parent cell
Term
mitogens
Definition
stimulate cell division
Term
survival factors
Definition
supress programmed cell death
Term
Rb
Definition
-protein that supresses tumors
Term
abundant Rb
Definition
-prevents transcription
Term
p53
Definition
-DNA damage/excessive proliferation/hypoxia activates kinase pathway that lead to phosphorylation of this
Term
DNA damage can cause cell to arrest at
Definition
G1/S
G2/M
Term
TOR
Definition
protein synthesis and cell growth
Term
apoptosis
Definition
programmed cell death
Term
apoptosis mediated by
Definition
caspase cascade
Term
necrosis
Definition
-cell swells and bursts, spilling toxins
Term
hallmarks of apoptotic cells
Definition
-cytoskeleton collapses
-nuclear envelope disassembles
-chromatin condenses and breaks into fragments
-cell surface blebs (bulges)
-changes in outer leaflet in plasma membrane
Term
must be activated in order for apoptosis to occur
Definition
-caspase enzymes
-can be intrinsic or extrinsic
Term
increases propapoptotic proteins
Definition
-injury,DNA damage, hypoic conditions
Term
Bcl2
Definition
-blocks apoptosis
-prevents release of cyt c from mitochondria
