Cards

Term
what are the 4 phases of interphase
Definition

Go:resting phase

Gi: growth phase DNA=2N, synthesis of new organelles, Checkpoint CDK cyclin E

S: DNA synthesis (histone= main protein needed)

G2:biosynthesis> MT, inhibition of protein synthesis

Checkpoint Cdc25>MPF

Term
how long takes mitosis compare to interphase
Definition
relatively short: about 10% of cell cycle
Term
Mitotic phases
Definition

prophase
metaphase,
anaphase,
telophase
cytokinesis **** not really in mitosis

Term
Prophase
Definition

Centrosomes appear near the nucleus
Main microtubule organizing center (MTOC) of the cell
Regulator of cell-cycle progression 
Chromatin is condensed

Term
Prometaphase
Definition

The nuclear membrane has degraded
Microtubules/mitotic spindles (green) invade the nuclear space
Attach to kinetochores (pink) of chromosomes (blue)
Interact with opposing microtubules

Term
Metaphase
Definition

Condensed chromosomes in the middle of the cell
Kinetochores attached to spindle fibers which are attached to centrosomes. 

Term
Anaphase
Definition

The sister chromatids (now sister chromosomes) are pulled apart by shortening kinetochore microtubule
The nonkinetochore microtubules elongate, pulling the centrosomes and the chromosomes to opposite
ends of the cell. 

Term
Telophase
Definition

Nonkinetochore microtubules continue to lengthen, elongating the cell even more.
A new nuclear envelope forms around each set of sister chromosomes

Term
cytokinesis
Definition
cleavage furrow contain a contractile ring
Term

compare cyclin and cyclin dependent kinase ( CDK)

Definition

 

 cyclin: synthesized at specific stages of the cell cycle, regulatory subunits

cyclin dependent kinase (CDK):constitutively expressed, catalytic subunits, inactive in the absence of a partner cyclin, ***phosphorylates proteins 

 

 

Term

Cyclin-CDK complexes control entry, exit, and progression through the different stages of the cell cycle

Definition

Term

whats are restriction endonulceases

Definition
DNA scissors that allow us to cut DNA into manageable fragments
Term
what are southern and northern block used for
Definition
southern block for DNA and northern block for mRNA 
Term
western block
Definition
protein amount
Term

single nucleotide polymorphism SNPs

 

variable number of tendem repeat VNTRs

 

 

Definition

99.9% identital

 

0.1% DNA fingerprinting

Term
what is PCR used for
Definition
to replicate a same fragment of DNA numerous time
