Study Notes

Mitosis

  • Nucleolus disappears during Prophase.
  • Centrosome is the structure where the assembly of microtubules of the mitotic spindle begins.
  • Proteins encoded by tumor suppressor genes prevent uncontrolled cell growth.
  • Statement "In prometaphase, the chromosomal material called chromatin condenses" is False.
  • In G2 phase, transcription and translation of genes that encode proteins necessary for cell division occur.
  • In animal cells, cytokinesis occurs through segmentation.
  • In telophase, the mitotic spindle breaks down, the nucleolus reappears, and a nuclear membrane forms around the chromosomes.
  • G2 is the checkpoint where complete DNA replication is verified.
  • Cyclin levels rise and fall during cell cycle regulation.
  • Alignment of chromosomes on the metaphase plate is an internal control signal of the M phase.

Apoptosis

  • When cells do not respond to control mechanisms, they produce cancer cells.
  • Apoptosis is programmed cell death.
  • In necrosis, a cell bursts, spilling its contents.
  • The function of the apoptosome is to activate procaspase-9.
  • In the proteolytic cascade, the activation of effector caspases is due to cleavage of their prodomains.
  • Growth factors stimulate cell growth.
  • G1 is the phase of the cell cycle where cell growth occurs.
  • During prometaphase, the nuclear envelope fragments.
  • Cells that undergo apoptosis die cleanly.
  • Apoptosis is mediated by an intracellular proteolytic cascade.
  • p53 is considered a tumor suppressor gene.
  • Necrosis is characterized by bursting and swelling.
  • Two procaspases are required to form an active caspase.
  • After cleavage of the prodomains, procaspases must assemble.
  • The phase where an active caspase can activate many other caspases is called amplification.
  • Nuclear lamina degradation can occur in a cell when a proteolytic cascade is activated.
  • Procaspases must undergo cleavage and assembly to form an active caspase.
