A | B |
Proteins used for chromosome replication | DNA Helicase and DNA Polymerase |
Breaks the hydrogen bonds between the nucleotides | DNA Helocase |
Adds nucleotides to the new DNA strand | DNA Polymerase |
Somatic cell | body cell |
gamete | sex cell |
eggs and sperm | gametes |
2n for humans | 46 chromosomes, diploid cell |
n for humans | 23 chromosomes, haploid gamete cell |
Autosomal chromosomes | 1-22, not sex chromosomes |
Sex chromosomes | #23, X or Y |
xx | girl |
xy | boy |
who determins the sex of the child? | boy |
Karyotype | picture of your DNA |
Down Syndrom | Extra chromosome 21, mental retardation, strechy ligaments |
G1, S, G2, Mitosis, & Cytokinesis | 5 stages of the cell cycle |
G1 | Growth and metaboism |
S | Replicate DNA with DNA helicase and polymerase |
G2 | Growth and preparation for division |
Mitosis | Nucleus divides |
Cytokinesis | Cytoplasm divides |
Uncontrolled celldivision or cell death | Cancer |
Stages of Mitosis | PMAT: Prophase, metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase |
When does mitosis occure? | After G2 |
Prophase | Nucleous disaperase, spindle fibers form, chromatin condenses (DNA) |
Metaphase | Chromosomes are pulled by spindle fibers to the center of the cell (medially) |
Anaphase | Chromatids are separated by spindle fibers and pulled to opposite ends of the cell. |
Telophase | Nucleus reforms, Chromosomes unwind into chromatin. |
Cytokinesis in Animals | Cell Furrow |
Cytokinesis in Plants | Cell Plate (contains a new cell wall) |
Uncontrolled cell death or growth | Cancer |
Apoptosis | Programed cell death |
Metastasis | Spread of cancer cells |
Oncogenes | Stop cells from undergoing mitosis |
