Front Back
Interphase
The period between mitosis events (3 Stages)
G1 Stage
Cells grow in size and organelles increase in number also accumulates materials that will be used for DNA synthesis
S Stage
DNA Synthesis occurs (sister chromatids are formed) DNA REPLICATION
G2 Stage
Cell prepares for Mitiosis: During this stage the cell synthesizes proteins that will assist call division
M (Mitotic) Stage
Mitosis (nuclear division) and cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm) During mitosis, daughter chromosomes are distributed by the mitotic spindle to two daughter nuclei.
Control Of The Cell Cycle
Certain types of cells continually divide, while others are arrested in the G1 and G2 Phase.
Three Regulatory Checkpoints The Cells Must Move Through For Cell Division to Occur
G1 Stage ------> S Stage G2 Stage ------> M Stage M Checkpoint
1. Kinases 2. Cyclins
1. Enzymes that remove phosphate from ATP and put it on another protein. 2. Proteins that activate kinases, which inturn activate enzymes.
1. To Proceed Through G1 Stage ------> S stage 2. To Proceed Through G2 Stage -----> M Stage
1. When S-cyclin combines with S kinase, the kinase can then phosphorylate a protein that allows the cell cycle to continue 2. When M-cyclin combines with M-kinase, the kinase can then phosphorlyate a protein that allows a cell cycle to continue
1. Cancer 2. Apoptosis
1. Uncontrolled Cell Division caused by the failure to regulate the cell cycle 2. Programmed Cell Death: Cells that fail to pass through the checkpoints undergo apoptosis.
9.2 Mitosis and Cytokinesis
All cells have chromosomes made of DNA The Genetic Material of life is found as DNA When a cell divides the cell components, including DNA must be duplicated.
Cell Division
-Allows unicellular organisms to reproduce -Allows Multicellular organisms to develop, grow, and repair cells
The Eukaryotic Chromosomes
DNA in the chromosomes of eukaryotic cells is associated with histones: histone proteins organize the chromosomes. Each species has a characteristic number of chromosomes.
1. Diploid(2n) 2. Haploid(1n)
1. number includes two of each type of chromosomes which are found in all non-sex cells of an organism. 2. number contains one of each kind of chromosome; found in the sperm and egg
1. Karyokinesis 2. Cytokinesis
1. Nuclear Division(Nucleus including the DNA) 2. Cytoplasm Division
