Cell division- reproduction of cells Cell cycle- life of cell Chromosomes- DNA in packed structures Chromatin- DNA and proteins Somatic cells- # of chromosomes per body cell (all except reproductive) Gametes- reproductive cells (half of the somatic #) Sister Chromatids- duplicated chromosome joined by centromere
Mitosis- division of genetic material Cytokinesis- division of cytoplasm Animals – cleavage furrow Plants – Cell plate
Binary Fission- Division in half (prokaryotes) Origin of Replication
Cell cycle is regulated by internal and external signals Checkpoint- control point where stop and go signals occur G 1 S G 2 G 0
Protein kinases are enzymes that activate or inactivate proteins by phosphorylating them To be activated the kinase must be attached to a cyclin Because these kinases are dependent upon attachment of cyclin they are known as cyclin-dependent kinases or Cdks.
Cells respond to “maturation-promoting factors” this is what triggers the cell’s passage past each checkpoint Growth hormone Density-dependent inhibition- Uncontrolled cell growth-
