Cell Cycle Control System
Definition: a ________________ operating set of molecules in the cell that both triggers and coordinates key events in the cell cycle. Checkpoint- a control point where stop and go-ahead signals regulate the cycle. Animal cells usually have built-in stop signals that ________ the cell cycle at checkpoints until overridden by go-ahead signals. Signals report whether cellular processes that should have occurred have occurred and whether or not the cell cycle should ________________. Three major ________________ are found in the G1,G2, and M phases CYCLICALLY PAUSE PROCEED CHECKPOINTS
29
For many cells, the G1 checkpoint ("_______________ point") in mammalian cells, seems to be the most important: if a cell receives a go-ahead signal at the G1 checkpoint, it will usually ________ the cell cycle. If a go-ahead signal is not given, it will exit the cycle, switching into a ________________ state called the G0 (G ZERO) phase. (most cells in G0 phase). Example: Think a ____________ machine. Timing device: the cell cycle control system works on its own, according to a built-in clock. Internal and External ______________: Washers have an internal sensor that detects when the water is present and external adjustment such as pressing the start button.

Many kinases that drive the cell cycle are present at a ________________ concentration in the growing cell, but are usually in an ___________ form. To be active, such a kinase must be attached to a ________________ (gets its name from its cyclically fluctuating concentration) CELL CYCLE CONTROL PHOSPHORYLATING CHECKPOINTS CONSTANT INACTIVE CYCLIN

Figure 12.16a shows the fluctuating activity of MPF, the cyclin-Cdk complex that was discovered first (in frog eggs). Peaks of MPF activity correspond to peaks of __________ concentration The cyc1in level rises during the S and G1 phases The initials MPF stand for "________________ -promoting factor”; but we can think of MPF as "M-phase-promoting factor” because it triggers cell’s passage through G2 checkpoint to M phase.

Cancer cells lack ____________________________________, anchorage dependence, and do not stop dividing when growth factors are depleted. Example: p. 233 Figure 12.19 Hypotheses why: Cancer cells do not need growth factors. Cancer cells make their own growth factors. Cancer cells can display growth factor’s signal despite the lack of growth factors. Abnormal cell cycle control system. (more in Ch. 19) NOT DENSITY-DEPENDENT INHIBITION

Treatment: Localized tumors may be treated with high-energy _________________ Radiation damages _______ in cancer cells much more than normal cells because cancer cells have lost the ability to repair such damage. ____________________- drugs toxic to actively dividing cells are given through the circulatory system to treat suspected metastatic tumors. Chemotherapeutic drugs interfere with steps of the cell cycle Example: Taxol freezes the mitotic spindle which stops actively dividing cells from going beyond metaphase. Side effects of chemotherapy are from the drug’s effects on normal cells. Nausea is caused by effects on intestinal cells, hair loss on follicle cells, and increased susceptibility to infection on immune system cells. RADIATION DNA CHEMOTHERAPY

54
Steps of Meiosis Interphase Chromosomes replicated during the S phase but remain _________________. Each replicated chromosome consists of two identical sister _________________ connected at the centromere. _________________ replicates, resulting in two. UNCONDENSED CHROMATIDS CENTROSOME
55
Meiosis I Prophase I (usually occupies >_____% of time in meiosis) Chromosomes begin to _________________. Homologous chromosomes pair along lengths and are lined so genes are _________________. ___________________occurs: DNA molecules in non-sister chromatids break at corresponding places and ____________ each other (switch locations). ______________ occurs where a synaptonemal complex forms between homologous chromosomes which holds the chromosomes together tightly. The synaptonemal complex breaks down in late prophase and each chromosome pair becomes visible as a ______________ (a group of four chromosomes) 90 CONDENSE ALIGNED CROSSING OVER REPLACE SYNAPSIS TETRAD
56
(Prophase I continued)
Each tetrad has at least one _________________ (plural: chiasmata)- a criss-crossed region where crossing over occurred. The chiasmata hold the homologous chromosomes _________________ until anaphase I. Just like in mitosis, _______________ move apart, spindle microtubules form, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and the nucleoli disappear. In late prophase I, the kinetochores of each homologous chromosome attach to _________________ from the poles, then they are moved towards the _________________ plate.
