Summary
This document explains the process of cell division and DNA replication, focusing on the intricacies of leading and lagging strands, and including Okazaki fragments, telomeres, and proofreading mechanisms. It differentiates between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell replication and emphasizes how these mechanisms are fundamental for cell function and regulation.

Cell Division 2024-10-29 9:43 AM 5 prime to 3 prime Rna primase = create fragment Rna primase Need lil chunk of primer to get started Dna polymerase = take over.- leading strand = tackle on a whole strand + nucleotides. Once hits next fragment = sitch DNA ligase fragments togerther = remove rna primer + replace.w dna = important for creating a sewuence from the fragments The trombone model Ligase = actually attaching diff fragments to one another Important to study: - Leading. + lagging at same time - Therefore looping of one of the strand - in order to make 2 simultanerous 1 will Proofreading acctually liop back - Very few errors = occur - if it does happen in this point in process dna polyemrase = makes edit bc there are very temporalry h-bonds which hold nucelotide in place - easy point where change can be made. = move on - (determines that there is a mistake in hydrogen bondings = how it identifies mistake from bond - therefore cuts out the incorrect base and replace w the correct one bc it contains all of the 4 bases) Pro = circular Eu = linear - Trying to replicate something that is circualr = need anchor point - 2 strands = go in opposite direction around = form on circular ○ Mito+ chlroplast dna replication = same approach used Replication happening multiple origins of replication - Experience replication at same time (diff parts of Proceeds bidirectionally same strand) - Bubble = bidirectional = 1 sequence 5-3 other = 3-5 in both direction - Areas = replicated in diff parts of replication if meet up w one another - Ligase = attaches the ozaki fragments to make continuous sequence= therefore attach bubbles again used to cover the gap in the sugar-phosphate backbone Leadings = create the entire strand all the way until thevery end (leader) But there is an issue: - Lagging strand (kids following the leader) ○ Adding in ozaki fragments ○ Add a new fragment as unzipping ○ There needs to be enough distance for new fragment to form telomeres § During the end = lil control for distance for new fragment to form § Therefore lagging dna strand need enogiuh single-stranded template to begin the next okaski fragment Telo = add § The final primer (rna) = added telomerase onto the § When removed = section that Is not replicated end to extend shorter sequence Important = not every cells happening occurring - Stem cells = replicated infinitely = don’t want to decrease length of sequence everything replication therefore cant go Goal = on forever - very important telomarse funstion lagging - somatic cells = tissue + liver strand ○ Seq = shortening - limit to how many times a cell can Template rNA doesn’t get divide = 50 of those = useless sequence = cell cannot shorter + divide = Hayflick limit shorter w replication Parts that make up steucure = protein rna complex Own primer = rna = template rna = reverse transcriptase activity unlike the dna polymerase = cut + match dna base pairs Here the rna has reverse teranscripate activity from template rna = to convert from rna to dna How does this happen: Lagging strand = 3’ end = prevent shortening Telomere = hang over the edge a bit = by helping the end from degrading = provides stability Overall: Make sequence = replicated double helix = leading strand = entire - lagging = feafments = primer - dna stitches - short at the end - telomeres - attach onto finish sequence haploid diploid S-phase Next: Huge part of dna replication create large strange Histones - red ball - beads on necklace = histones = has 2 loops w dna sequence = wind the bead necklace to create chromatin fibers = dense image - Take chromatin - wind that - create chromosomes - Histones, chromatin - chromatid - chromosomes Sister chromatids - Have duplicate = 2 identical structures ○ Anchored to one another by centromeres Karyokinesis = nuclear division = see them bc highly condensed - G1 - g2 = cant see the characteristic image - w chromosomes + spindles - density at chromosomes at those stages = low - Happen in m phase Prophase Condensing occuring = nicely packaging to be able to move + mitotic spindle = Mitotic spindle fomring - used to move centrosomes chormosomes in the cell - microtuble example Goal: eventially split the cell in the center = create 2 - can use spindle fibers to migrate to diff ends - Chromosomes = become avaibale Prometaphase - Nuclear membrane breaks down = - Tryna split to 2 diff areas = organize bc duplication already Really key that the microtubules attach to the protein kinetochores have the duplicates Protein comlez - mitroctible coming of of it - = microtubule = - Tubules = expand out and shrink back in size to opposite ends of cell essentially find the chromosomes - Centrometer (point in center of x) Metaphase Align at the metaphase plate Strech out = found chromosome Really nice = distincive Anaphase image.= when looking thru microscrope Centrometer = divide - All of this telophase occurs in m phase btw Creates two new nuclei = nicely function in opposite ends of cell Set of information on oppotsite ends of cell = mictouble function onone = degrade M-phase 2nd part: Cytokinesis = acc separate the physical cells Cytokinesis themselves Contractile ring Actin filaments = create membrane - which are eventually split Ring = constrict/contract => pinches cytoplasm = bread = pinch the dough of = middle of batch = 2 separate equal balls = 2 distinctive daughter cells Plant cells a lil diff: cytokinesis. = diff step - Plants HAVE CELL WALL = things = bit diff for 2 things to split How is cell wall created: - Pharagmoplast = important in plant cytokinesis ○ Bunch of microtubules = function: bringing stricital pieces Cell plate for the cell wall - build in the center of the location ○ Plate = forms = cell wall in the middle/center of cell ○ Once wall fuses with the Plant vs animals = cytokinesis 1. Very specific microtubule structure to build the cell wall = plants 2. Cell plate = create to form a barrier to create the unique cell wall structure Visually walk thru it = lost - bwt steps + phases - email here Genetic information - separate things out = m phase
