Exam 10: How Cells Divide

What is the sequence of events in a typical eukaryotic cell cycle?

The stage of mitosis characterized by the physical separation of sister chromatids is called:

This is the stage of mitosis characterized by the alignment of the chromosomes in a ring along the inner circumference of the cell:

The portion of the cell cycle when the cell is growing and does not contain a replicated genome is referred to as:

A scientist wants to study histones.Histones are:

How does the organization of the bacterial genome differ from the organization of the eukaryotic genome?

During this stage of mitosis, the chromosomes become attached to the spindle at their kinetochores.

If a cell contained a mutation in the gene that encodes FtsZ, which process would be affected?

Animal cells typically achieve cytokinesis by:

You are studying cell cycle progression in yeast cells.If you could prevent cdc2 from associating with the mitotic cyclin, the cells would:

What is the portion of the cell cycle during which the chromosomes are invisible under the light microscope because they are not yet condensed?

What happens during Anaphase B?

Eukaryotic chromosomes are composed of a complex of 60% protein and 40% DNA.This complex is referred to as:

This protein or protein complex functions in the cell to stop cell division if the cell has experienced extensive DNA damage:

What would you expect to happen if the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) failed to ubiquitinate securin?

In bacterial cell division, the cell divides into two nearly equal halves.This process is referred to as:

A person whose cells all contain a chromosome number of 2n+1 most likely has what type of condition?

A cell biologist produces a karyotype of mouse somatic cells arrested in mitosis.She sees 40 chromosomes, which is completely normal for mice.Based on this information, what is the haploid number of chromosomes for mice?

A somatic cell from a garden pea normally contains 14 chromosomes.How many sister chromatids would that cell contain during G1 of the cell cycle?

You are studying cell cycle progression in an early frog embryo.If you were to inject a protein synthesis inhibitor into a cell during S phase, where do you predict that the cells would arrest?
