Chapter 11, Problem 25P
Summary Introduction

To determine:

The type of cell division that is represented in the figure and the relationship between the parts of figure.

Introduction:

Meiosis, also known as the reductional division, is the second type of cell division that takes place in eukaryotes. The cell division is marked by a decrease in the chromosome number to half. This type of cell division allows the recombination of the genes on the chromosome to produce a zygote. The two diploid cells undergo division to produce four haploid daughter cells.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The difference between cohesion of centromeres and cohesion of arms.

Introduction:

The chromosomes are condensed structures that are formed during the early phases of cell division from the loose network of chromatin thread and then regain their original structure after being divided into daughter cells.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The mechanism that keeps the chromosomes together during metaphase.

Introduction:

The human consists of 23 pairs of chromosomes, condensed form of chromatids which divide during cell division into daughter cells. The human has 22 autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. The sex chromosomes determine the sex in an individual based on the type of sex chromosomes that are present in the fusing gametes.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The role of shugoshin and the enzyme it inhibits.

Introduction:

The chromosome from chromatids are formed through the process of supercoiling. The chromatin fibres are condensed into thick structures called the chromosomes. This chromosome in bacteria is circular whereas in eukaryotes it is linear.

Consider the figure beow, which depicts chromatin within the neucleus of a eukaryotic cell. nucleus O The letter A indicates regions of a single chromosome which are not expressed, and the letter B indicates regions of a single chromosome which are expressed. O Both answer choice A and answer choice B are correct. The letter A indicates regions of a single chromosome which are condensed and attached to the nuclear lamina, and the letter B indicates regions of a single chromosome which are partially decondensed. O Answer choices A, B and C are all correct. O The letter A represents repressed TADS, and the letter B represents active TADS.
Which of the following statements is TRUE? Group of answer choices a Interphase chromosomes are loosely compacted and do not associate with histones until the cell is preparing to divide. b Interphase chromosomes are loosely compacted, overlapping, and intertwined  with each other within the nucleus. c None of these are TRUE d Radial loops in the condensing chromosome are formed due to interactions between 30 nm fibers and the scaffolding proteins of the nuclear matrix - producing the 300 nm fiber of the chromosome e Interphase chromosomes are also known as euchromatin.  Condensed, metaphase chromosomes are also known as heterochromatin.
● ● Illustrate the chromosome changes in interphase and mitosis using a diploid cell that is 2n=4 (two large and two small chromosomes). Label the circles as G1 and G2 stages of interphase and each phase of mitosis (in order). Draw the chromosome in each circle using the following guidelines. 1) For unreplicated chromosome draw a line (/) and for replicated chromosome draw an X. 2) For simplicity, do not indicate that the chromosomes are decondensed chromatin during interphase. 3) Skip drawing the nuclear membrane or spindle fibers, since we are focusing on the chromosomes. Label genes in the resulting daughter cells as A/a and B/b. (These letters represent genes which are at particular places along the DNA molecule. Each chromosomes can have a thousand genes but we are focusing on these two.) Ask me Qs in class if anythign on this is not clear.
