cellular replication result
2 identical daughter cells
cellular reproduction purpose
asexual reproduction, production of new cells
cell cycle phases
interphase (G1, S phase, G2), and mitotic (M) phase
when does DNA replicate
S phase
phases of mitosis
prophase/prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
interphase
after chromosome replication, each one has 2 sister chromatids
prophase/prometaphase
chromosomes condense, spindle apparatus forms, nuclear envelope breaks down, and microtubules connect to kinetochores
metaphase
chromosomes migrate to middle
anaphase
sister chromatids separate into daughter chromosomes and are pulled apart
telophase
nuclear envelope reforms and chromosomes decondense
cytokinesis
actin myosin ring causes plasma membrane to pinch inwards, cytoplasm divides, and two daughter cells form
only in animal cell cytokinesis
cleavage furrow, actin, and myosin
cell plate
microtubules direct vesicles to the center to divide the cell into two plant cells
binary fission step 1
DNA is copied and protein filaments attach
binary fission step 2
DNA copies separated, ring of proteins forms
binary fission step 3
ring of protein draws in membrane, then separates
cancer is caused by cells that
divide in an uncontrolled fashion, invade nearby tissues, and spread to other sites in the body (metastasis)
divide in uncontrolled fashion
mutated tumor suppressor gene which produces a defective nonfunctioning protein, leading to excessive cell division
p53 - tumor suppressor gene
binds to enhancers and promotes transcription of genes that arrest the cell cycle, repair DNA damage, and trigger apoptosis
passing G1 checkpoint
adequate cell size, sufficient nutrients, social signals present, and DNA undamaged
passing G2 checkpoint
chromosomes have replicated successfully, undamaged DNA, and activated MPF present
passing M-phase checkpoints
chromosomes have attached to spindle apparatus, chromosomes properly segregated, and MPF is present
M-phase promoting factor
binds to cyclin (regulatory protein)
