Easy Note Cards Ap Biology Chapter 12 and 13

1

Why does a cell divide because of its size?

1. DNA doesn't grow with the cell, so as the cell gets larger, it demands more of DNA. To reduce strain, a cell must not grow anymore

2. Cells lose efficiency if too large because waste and nutrients do not move across the cell membrane.

2

Define Interphase (basic idea)

card image

The "in between growth of a cell". There are 3 parts: G1, S, G2

3

Describe G1 phase (interphase)

Phase of cell growth.

Cell increases in size.

Cell synthesizes new proteins and organelles

4

Describe S Phase (interphase)

DNA replication.

DNA is synthesized and chromosomes are replicated.

2x the DNA

5

Describe G2 Phase (interphase)

Preparing for cell division.

Shortest of the phases

organelles and molecules for division are produced

6

what is the M Phase that follows interphase?

It is the cell division

follows interphase

produces 2 daughter cells. Consists of mitosis and cytokinesis

card image

1st stage of cell division. It's the division of the cell nucleus. There are 4 phases

Usually the longest

genetic material inside nucleus condenses and duplicated chromosomes become visible.

outside the nucleus, spindles begin to form

Where duplicated DNA molecules attach along their length

Each DNA strand in the duplicated DNA chromosome

Where spindles extend from in animal cells.

Usually the shortest phase.

sister chromatids line up in the middle of the cell.

centrioles are at opposite ends, spindles connect to the centromes

Sister chromatids separate and move apart.

each sister chromatids is now considered an individual chromosome

chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell

anaphase ends when the movements stops and the chromosomes are completely separated.

14

Mitosis: telophase (final phase)

Chromosomes begin to spread into tangle of chromatin

nuclear envelope reforms around each cluster of chromosomes

spindles begin to break a part

nucleus becomes visible in each daughter cell

mitosis is complete

Result of mitosis

splitting of 1 cell into 2.

16

75

What are the 3 major differences between RNA & DNA

DNA: double strand, has thymine (t), and deoxyribose

RNA - single strand, has uracel (u), and ribose

They inject their DNA into a host cell in order to replicate and produce more.

A bases = T bases & G bases = C bases

78

If asked to solve a question like -

A+C=T+G or A+G = T+C

Then you should use hypothetical numbers for the nucleotides

Example:

A = 10, Thus T = 10

C = 20, thus G = 20

Plug & Solve:

A+C = T + G

10+20 = 10+20

As long as the equation equals, then the variables above work in the combination given. Example of NOT working:

A+T = C+G

10+10 = 20+20

  1. A primer is a strand of short nucleic acid sequences (generally about 10 base pairs) that serves as a starting point for DNA synthesis. It is required for DNA replication because the enzymes that catalyze this process, DNA polymerases, can only add new nucleotides to an existing strand of DNA.

2. base - pair insertions or deletions

141

Nucleotide - pair substitution

replaces one nucleotide and its partner with another pair of nucleotides
