What are the stages of mitosis?
Interphase, prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis
1 of 40
what happens during cytokinesis?
occurs to prepare cell for mitosis:
-cell grows- doubles protein content
-organelles double in size and number
-during s phase dna synthesised
-centrosome replicates
-two gaps: g1 and g2, exist where cell checks everything for next phase
2 of 40
What happens in m phase?
happens in 5 phases:
-prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase,telophase
3 of 40
what happens during prophase?
-chromosomes condense
-mitotic spindle forms
-centrosomes move apart
-protein complex forms at chromosomes
4 of 40
What happens in prometaphase?
-nuclear envelope breaks down- allows microtubules access to chromosomes
-chromosomes attach to microtubules by kinetochore complex
5 of 40
What happens during metaphase?
-chromosomes align at equator
-sister chromatids attach to opposite poles by kinetochore complex
6 of 40
What happens during anaphase?
-cohesive link between sister chromatids is released, kinetochore microtubules shorten.
-centromeres move apart-results in sister chromatids being pulled to opposite poles
7 of 40
What happens during telophase?
-daughter chromosomes reach poles
-new nuclear envelope forms from fragments attached to individual chromosomes
-two nuclei contractile rings form around equator
-end of mitosis
8 of 40
What happens during cytokinesis?
-ring contracts partitioning cytoplasm into 2 daughter cells
- each cell contains 1 nucleus, 1 centrosome
9 of 40
What does the nuclear lamina needs to do before mitosis?
needs to disassemble
10 of 40
What is the actin cytoskeleton involved in during mitosis?
in ring contraction during cytokinesis
11 of 40
What role does microtubules have in mitosis?
kinetochore microtubules attach to chromosomes.
during pMET, microtub grow and shrink
metaphase- motor proteins pull chromo around until aligned
anaphase-kinetochore microtub shorten and motor proteins move chromatids towards centrosome
12 of 40
What agents are poisonous and target microtubules?
chemotheraputic agents. They poison microtubules and prevents them from working properly
13 of 40
What are the 3 checkpoints of a cell to be successfully complete?
-R point-restriction point end of G1
-g2-m transition, checks for environment check size, DNA damage and replication is complete
-meta anaphase transition makes sure all chromosomes attached to spindle-checks if sister chromatid are attached to microtubul
14 of 40
What are cyclins paired with?
cyclin dependant kinases and these get stronger when a cyclin is attached to it
15 of 40
What are kinases?
A protein that can attach phosphate groups to other proteins by phosphorylation
16 of 40
Why are cyclins needed?
to turn on the cyclin dependant kinases
17 of 40
What does cylin dependant kinases do in the m phase?
regulates g2m transition and meta anaphase transition
18 of 40
What happens to the cyclin dependant kinases at the end of mitosis?
their activity resets to zero ready to begin again
19 of 40
What do ubiquitin ligases do in anaphase promoting complex?
targets the mcyclins for degradation
20 of 40
What do kinases do?
They phosphorylate target proteins
eg. m-cdk phosphorylates
-nuclear lamins to trigger depolymerisation
-microtubule accessory proteins to increase microtubule instability
-chromosomes condensation complex is activated by m-cdk

What needs to happen before meiosis?
Mitosis needs to happen as it produces new cells by division of parent cells. The DNA replicates and then the cell divides. This forms 2 identical cells with the same chromosome number as the parent.
22 of 40
What is the role of meiosis?
cells produced are gamete cells which are required for sexual reproduction
23 of 40
What type of cells are gametes?
haploid cells
24 of 40
What type of cells undergo meiosis and divide division to produce gametes?
germ line cells
25 of 40
What cells in our body divide by mitosis?
somatic cells
26 of 40
What do gametes require?
one set of chromosomes, so it should be haploid
27 of 40
What is meiosis important for?
to ensure genetic diversity
28 of 40
What further increases the possibilities in meosis?
recombination
29 of 40
What randomly distributes one set of chromosomes to each gamete?
the parents
30 of 40
How are the cells divided in meiosis?
prophase, prometaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis all happens twice eg. prophase 1 and prophase 2
31 of 40
What is prophase split into?
leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene and diakinesis
32 of 40
What happens in interphase 1 in meiosis?
there is gap1 synthesis where DNA replicates and gap2. After interphase, the homologues duplicate and so now there are 4 double stranded DNA molecules. The DNA is replicated and forms pairs of chromatids
33 of 40
What happens in zygotene?
synapsis and this has clusters of proteins which helps the two homologous chromosomes stay together.
34 of 40
What happens in pachytene?
breakage and invasion of the DNA strands between the maternal and paternal chromosomes-crossing over. This causes recombination to occur. Once crossing over occurs, the synaptonemal complexes that hold strands together are no longer needed
35 of 40
What happens in the other stages of meiosis?
from metaphase to cytokinesis, it is the same as mitosis but with 23 pairs of chromosomes instead of 46.
36 of 40
What are the differences in metaphase between mitosis and meiosis?
in mitosis the homologous chromosomes line up at metaphase plate independently but in meiosis they line up in pairs
37 of 40
What are you left with at the end of meiosis?
4 haploid gametes which are all genetically different from each other
38 of 40
What happens at anaphase II?
separation of sister chromatids
39 of 40
What is the same in interphase between mitosis and meiosis?
both have s phase g1 and g2 phase o DNA replicates both at the beginning
