If chemical signals in the cytoplasm control the progression of a cell to the M phase of the cell cycle, then fusion of a cell in G1 with a cell in early M phase would most likely result in the (A) replication of chromosomes only in the G1 cell (B) exiting of both cells from the cell cycle and into the G0 phase (C) condensation of chromatin in preparation of nuclear division in both cells (D) transfer of organelles from the G1 cell to the cell in the M phase Please select the correct option. For the incorrect options, please explain why each one is incorrect.

Explain why we can say that M-phase of the cell-cycle is triggered by a positive feedback loop. a) What would the consequences be if cohesins were working normally but condensins were not? and b) what stage of the cell cycle would this cause problems in? Why is it important for the centrosome to duplicate during G1-G2 (interphase) before M phase? The kinetochores serve as a link between the sister chromatids and the microtubules attached to the mitotic spindle. a) How are microtubules still able to exhibit dynamic instability after they are bound to the sister chromatids and b) why is this important to mitosis? As the name suggests, the Anaphase-promoting-complex (APC), promotes the 4th phase of mitosis by separating the sister chromatids so they can travel to separate poles of the cell, and prevents them from being re-zipped together. Describe how APC does these two things (Hint: one involves M-cyclin and the other involves…
One important biological effect of a large dose of ionizing radiation (like X-rays) is to halt cell division. How does this occur? To answer this question, state the name and role of 2 specific and important proteins involved in the process. What happens if a cell has a mutation that prevents it from halting cell division after be irradiated? Be specific and detailed. An adult human who has reached maturity will die within a few days of receiving a radiation dose large enough to stop cell division. What does that tell you about cell division? In addition, name 2 different/unique cell types that would be primarily affected.
Name the two overarching phases of the cell cycle? How long does the complete cell cycle take in mammalian cells in culture ?
When chromatids are separated during anaphase, how do we know that the microtubules that they are connected to are not actually shortening to "pull" the chromatids apart?
In the mitosis experiment, in what stage were most of the onion root tip cells in? Based on what you know about cell cycle division, what does this imply about the life span of a cell? Were there any stages of the cell cycle that you did not observe? How can you explain this using evidence from the cell cycle?
Which phases of the cell cycle is generally the longest in the cells of a mature eukaryote? What steps make it longest phase?
Which of the following statements is FALSE? A. Centrosomes are anchor points for microtubules and are essential to form the mitotic spindle. B. In the eukaryotic cell cycle the cell spends much more time in the interphase than in the mitotic phase. C. In telophase two nuclear envelopes are fully formed and the cell splits in two via cytokinesis. D. The contraction of the kinetochore microtubules leads to the separation of the sister chromatids during anaphase. E. In the prophase chromatin condenses into X-shaped chromosomes.
What are the three types of microtubules involved in the formation of the mitotic spindle? Briefly describe the contribution of each to successful cell division.
How can defects in the regulation of cell-cyle checkpoints would affect cells and explain how these defects relate to uncontrolled division in cancer and cancer progression? Describe the movements of chromosomes and the status of the microtubules spindle during interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase? Explain the movement of chromosomes during stages of meoisis to produce sperm and eggs?
Discuss Concepts Eukaryotic chromosomes can be labeled by exposing cells to radioactive thymidine during the S phase of interphase. If cells are exposed to radioactive thymidine during the S phase, would you expect both or only one of the sister chromatids of a duplicated chromosome to be labeled at metaphase of the following mitosis (see Section 10.2)?

C) Sister chromatids from a single chromosome are connected at the centromere. D) Homologous chromosomes are connected at the centromere. The first gap in the cell cycle (G1) corresponds to _____. A) normal growth and cell function B) the phase in which DNA is being replicated C) the beginning of mitosis D) the phase between DNA replication and the M phase In a diploid cell from a specific species has 5 chromosome pairs, how many sister chromatids will be found in a nucleus at prophase of mitosis? (Draw it!) A) 5 B) 10 C) 20 D) 40 Consider a cell from the species above.…
