Term
Chromosome
Definition
A threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying DNA
Term
Cell Cycle (ORDER)
Definition
G1->S->G2->M Phase
Term
G1
Definition
Growth
Term
S
Definition
Synthesis (DNA Replication)
Term
G2
Definition
Growth
Term
M Phase
Definition
1. Prophase
2. Metaphase
3. Anaphase
4. Telophase
Term
DNA Replication
Definition
- Start with double helix
- Next: unwind
- Next: DNA polymerase makes copy of other side
○ Like RNA polymerase did
- Next: original sides (parent strands) and new strands (daughter strands) make 2 half-and-half double helixes
Term
DNA Polymerase
Definition
- Finds complementary bases
- Forms S-P bonds
Term
Semi-Conservative Replication
Definition
- how the new chromosome is half half from the old and half from the new
Term
Sister Chromatid
Definition
2 identical copies of a chromatin connected by a centromer
Term
Centromere
Definition
The point on a chromosome where it is attached to a spindle fiber during cell division
Term
Mitosis
Definition
Cell division that results in 2 daughter cells
Term
Phases of Mitosis (ORDER)
Definition
Prophase->Metaphase->Anaphase->Telophase
Term
Prophase
Definition
○ Mitotic spindle
○ Kinetochores in the centromere pull on the spindle fiber
Term
Metaphase
Definition
Chromosomes attach to mitotic spindle
Term
Anaphase
Definition
BEGIN to seperate
Term
Telophase
Definition
○ Cleavage furrow (animal cells)
§ Beginning of cytokinesis
§ Plant cells have division plates
○ Cytokinesis begins
○ Late Telophase:
§ Nuclear membrane comes back
Term
Interphase
Definition
between 2 cell cycles
Term
Mitotic Spindle
Definition
The structure that separates the chromosomes into the daughter cells
Term
Cleavage Furrow
Definition
The shape formed when animal cells begin to divide
Term
Division Plate
Definition
The shape formed when a plant cell begins to divide
Term
Cancer
Definition
Uncontrolled growth of cells
Term
Malignant Tumors
Definition
Tumors that can impair organ function and could become lethal
Term
Oncogene
Definition
The group of genes that synthesizes the proteins/enzymes regulated by the cell cycle
Term
Carcinogen
Definition
A cancer-causing substance
