Study Notes
Gene Regulation and Cell Processes
- Gene regulation is the process of turning genes on and off
- Cytokinesis is the final part of telophase, splitting daughter cells apart
- Mitosis involves two processes: karyokinesis and cytokinesis
- Human mitosis produces 92 single chromosomes from double chromosomes
- Random mating in organisms with multiple chromosome sets produces homozygotes and heterozygotes
- Metastasis is the process of cancer cells spreading to other parts of the body
- Cell turnover is the process of cell birth and death
- Hypotonic environments have lower osmotic pressure
Cellular Components and Processes
- The Golgi apparatus is a repository for genetic information and cell control (nucleus)
- Proteins are composed of 20 different amino acids, with distinct three-dimensional shapes
- The primary protein structure is the sequence of amino acids
- Secondary protein structures include alpha helix and beta sheet
- Quaternary protein structure is the interaction between protein subunits
- Hormonal proteins are messenger proteins that coordinate bodily activities
- Carrier proteins move molecules around the body
- Enzymes are proteins with specific actions
- Reverse transcriptase is a component of retroviruses
- Transcription transfers genetic information from DNA to RNA
- Translation synthesizes polypeptides under mRNA direction
- Nucleotides are the monomers of nucleic acids
- Interphase is the longest part of the cell cycle
- Cells lose their capability to divide once they reach maturity
- Cytokinesis is the process where one cell splits from its sister cell, ending cell division
- Prokaryotic cell division is usually binary fission
- Programmed cell death is also known as apoptosis
- Cellular senescence occurs in response to DNA damage
Cell Cycle and Organelles
- G2 phase marks synthesis of enzymes for DNA replication
- Aspergillus undergoes closed mitosis
- Cell cycle regulation does not include cyclin of cell
- Prometaphase is characterized by the shortening of kinetochore microtubules
- Metaphase is when chromosomes align at the metaphase plate
- Cell turnover is rapid in most tissues except the liver
- Cytokinesis is the process of splitting daughter cells apart
- Meiosis occurs in human ovaries
- Cytoplasmic membrane is a phospholipid bilayer with proteins embedded
- mRNA contains information for protein synthesis
- Chromosomes are organized linear structures containing genetic material
- Aspartic acid side chains have a negative charge
Key Biological Discoveries
- Golgi's 'black reaction' breakthrough neurocytology and neuroanatomy in 1873
- Spontaneous generation was refuted by Louis Pasteur
- Anaximander proposed early evolutionary thoughts
- Robert Brown recognized the nucleus as essential to living cells
- Interphase is the longest part of the cell cycle
- Energy acquired during G2 is used in cell division
- Non-disjunction occurs when chromosomes fail to separate during anaphase
- Deletion is a chromosomal abnormality where a fragment is lost
- Zygote is a fertilized egg
