DNA Know your chromosome Cell Cycle Name that phase Cell Cycle again
DNA is found ?
In the nucleus
What are the smaller units of DNA?
Nucleotides
What are the 3 parts of a nucleotide
Deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group and nitrogen base (ATG or C)
DNA replication proceeds in ___ direction/s?
TWO
Describe DNA replication
DNA replication occurs when the enzymes unzip the DNA molecule and DNA Polymerase helps to place nucleotides to form complimentary copy of the existing DNA. 2 identical copies are produced.
Each replicated chromosome consists of 2 ?
Sister Chromatids
______ connect sister chromatids.
Centromere
Chromosomes contain proteins called ___
Histones
Cells chromesomes copy during__?
S phase.
First phase in which the chromosomes become visible.
Prophase
Longest phase of the Cell Cycle?
Interphase
What are the 3 phases of Interphase?
G1,S, G2
What divides during mitosis?
nucleus
What is cytokinesis?
Separation of the cytoplasm.
Describe what happens at each phase of the cell cycle
G1-growth, S-DNA replication,G2 prep for mitosis, Prophase-Chromatin condenses, spindle fibers form, Centrioles separate, Nuclear memebrane breaks down, Metaphase-chromosomes align in the middle of the cell. Anaphase-chromosomes move away from the center. Telophase-new membranes form.
A series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide
Cell cycle
Anaphase
Prophase
Interphase
Telophase
Metaphase
What is the role of cyclins?
Regulate cell growth
What should happen when cells come in contact with other cells
They should stop growing
A disorder in which some cells have lost the ability to control their growth
Cancer
Cancer cell form masses of cells called
tumor
A parent cell having 4 chromosomes will produce two daughter cells that contain two daughter cells each containing__ chromosome
