Study Notes

Cell Cycle

  • The longest part of the cell cycle is the Interphase stage.
  • Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are controlled by binding to cyclin.

Mitosis

  • The stage of mitotic cell divisions characterized by the alignment of chromosomes is Metaphase.
  • The process of cell cleavage into two daughter cells at the end of telophase is called Cytokinesis.
  • The specific function of the contractile ring of actin filaments and myosin in cell cleavage during telophase is to pinch the cell into two daughter cells.

Chromatin Structure

  • Euchromatin is lightly stained and active in transcription.
  • Histones play a crucial role in chromatin structure by forming the nucleosome core.
  • Condensins are primarily responsible for condensing chromatin fibers during mitosis.

Nuclear Structure

  • The nuclear envelope is responsible for separating the nucleus from the cytoplasm.
  • The nucleolus is localized within the nucleus.
  • Nuclear pore complexes are primarily responsible for regulating the transport of molecules between the nucleus and cytoplasm.

Cell Division

  • The separation of sister chromatids occurs during Anaphase II in meiosis.
  • The term for the unique period in Prophase I during which homologous chromosomes pair and undergo genetic recombination is Synapsis.

Apoptosis

  • The Bcl-2 protein family controls the release of death-promoting factors from mitochondria.
  • During late stage apoptosis, nuclear and cell volumes decrease.

Cell Cycle Regulation

  • Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) trigger the activities of the next phase in the cell cycle.
  • The primary trigger for the activities of the next phase in the cell cycle is the activation of CDKs.

Other

  • The Barr body is an inactive X chromosome in cells of female mammals.
  • An active nucleolus is characterized by a dark, granular appearance when observed through transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
